You might even blame yourself before anyone else points the finger at you and says, “It’s your fault.” But guilt and blame are low vibrations that make it difficult to create what you desire or live fully and freely. In fact, guilt and blame weigh …

Do you feel as if you’ve given away your personal power? I do, too. So, how do we get it back? That’s a question I’ve been grappling with recently. I’ve always seen myself as a woman who stood in her personal power. I asked for what I wanted and went after my dreams. I spoke …

In either situation, you end up feeling pretty yucky about yourself, or about them, and it can lead to really broken relationships. It could lead …
Unhealed relationships make nasty open wounds. Stitch them, staple them, do whatever you have to do…just find a way to close them. Yes, you’ll be left with a scar—that’s OK—better to have the scar then to have the open wound. Open emotional wounds are dangerous.

Did you know that anger just covers your hurt? That’s right. So, when you feel angry, you really feel hurt, which means you usually need to forgive someone for something.

I graduated from Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communication. I still remember one of the first lessons I learned there: Communication-real communication-requires a broadcaster or transmitter and a receiver.
