    My Home Birth Experiences

    Does the Water Go All the Way Around the Island?

    No, this isn’t a question for “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader,” but rather a question asked to my aunt by another adult (many other adults). My lovely aunt spent nearly 30 years as a bartender in Key West. I am grateful that I have had the privilege of

    Friends, Un-friending and Blocking on Social Media

    Where are you in your own understanding of yourself? Seeking to know by contrast (friends); questioning what you know or don’t know (un-friending); or do you think you have decided (blocking)? And if you think you have decided, how do you know you have made the right decision? All of

    Understanding Why We Need Contrast in Our Lives

    “Well you only need the light when it’s burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go   Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low Only hate the road when you’re missing home Only know you

    Why Do I Put Pickles in a Bloody Mary? Because I Enjoy It

    I have studied under Jack Canfield and simply adore him and all the work he and his staff do. He often asks, “What is the WHY behind everything you do?” And for a long time, I had trouble with this question. I didn’t get it. You do things because they

    Dan and Kim Cox of Inspiring Desires: Our Story…

    We met 23 years ago. I (Kim) had just opened my eyes to the reality that dating a gay guy probably wasn’t going to help me in my search for a relationship with a straight guy. A divorce and the seemingly unavoidable series of bad dates had left me enjoying

    Living and Healing with an Adult That Was an Abused Child

    My Messy Belief Systems Melting Into My Marriage (and Life)

    I want to be honest here and let you know that whatever you think our lives look like on the outside, this is what it used to look like on the inside: Lots of sorted piles of contaminated, filthy laundry…AKA…belief systems! Dan and I had worked hard and we had

    Assessment Tests: I’ve Tried Them All and the Verdict Is In

    “What other people think of me is none of my business. One of the highest places you can get to is being independent of the good opinions of other people.” ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer Whether they are skills, career, personality type, strengths, weaknesses, favorite color, birth order…I encourage you to
