Self Acceptance

I could be wrong, but I believe that one point or another in all of our lives, we have felt that we weren’t good enough.  Not sure about psychopaths and narcissists, but possibly even them.  And the measuring stick that we beat ourselves with seems to be, “Everyone else is better than me, even the…

Your Soul Book

Every human being is a complex and unique individual.  Full of experience, education, nurturing and neglect, thoughts and ideas, creativity and passion, let alone the capacity for living a fully integrated life in a Universe that is astoundingly diverse and infinitely variable.  When I start working with someone I listen to their plans, their needs,…

The Universe Around Us

It is a very historically recent event that human beings feel that they are seperate from nature or the world and can somehow control it.  That they have the right to safety and peace in their lives and that anything disturbing this is an intrusion or an assault.  But this is all an illusion.  We…

Today is the beginning of the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Black Water Dragon.  I’m really excited about this year because as we mature through this growth spurt of industrialization and all the damage that teen behavior has caused us and the planet, we are beginning to recreate our world by remembering the…

The Classics

I was listening to NPR and heard this quote which is one of my favorites and never fails to remind me of the road I’m walking. Ulysses by Lord Tennyson ” ‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds…

What do you do when you get hurt?

What happens when something hurts you personally?  When what someones says or what they do cuts you?  How do you react?  Or do you?  It’s something that defines us as individuals and affects all of us collectively so it’s worth taking a minute to look at it.  Besides, when you’re in the moment the last…
