“There’s no secret to Balance our lives. You just have to feel the waves.” ~Frank Herbert Balance – An even distribution; a condition where different elements are equal; to keep or put in a steady position so that it does not fall. I am not sure how life and balance ever got linked together. Life […]
“Many of us hold on to only those memories designed to protect us from being hurt again, memories that support our defenses, memories that the evolutionary biologists claim are part of our inborn ‘negative bias.’ Could any memories be missing?” ~ Mark Wolynn, from his book It Didn’t Start With You If you really take […]
I recently saw a Facebook post where the writer used this term, “Energetic Groping”. The crux of the post was about someone trying to market to another person based on an intuitive piece of information that they had received about that person. The writer was not happy about the way in which the person was […]
Dan and I are both Reiki Masters and many people have no idea what that is. We didn’t know either until a few years ago. As many of you might know, Dan is a child abuse survivor and “Thriver” and it took many years and a lot of open mindedness to get to this point. […]
Words to me are both fascinating and infuriating at the same time. Words are the most commonly practiced way in which we currently communicate with one another and words are so often misunderstood, misused, manipulated (twisted) and by far the least effective way to communicate. Empathy, sensing, energy, feelings…these are all much simpler and reliable […]
Ever notice that if you or someone you know gets a new car that you “suddenly” see so many of that same car? Why is that? Was there some huge sale on that model car? Interesting, isn’t it?
Yep, if you are the one begging. Know why? It is because you didn’t have the courage to start a conversation. You let the fear of thinking that the other person would never give you what you want, so you take it. Wrong, just wrong. You would probably be the first person going off if […]
Who doesn’t like a well stocked pantry and refrigerator? It is a wonderful thing to never hear, “We are out of toilet paper. Use a paper towel.” The thing is, we over buy. We buy so much that we simply don’t need and we most certainly will never use. And this goes way beyond toilet […]
Pretty catchy title, don’t you think? Guess who I need to credit for this phrase? Not our 10-year-old boy (or the 21 year old;-), but our family doctor. When we first heard her say this, we giggled (as I am sure you did too, as would the 10 and 21 year old). The thing is, […]
A very dear friend wrote this poem: Who Are You? By Bill Diesing
Usually the first thing someone asks me when I say that my parents live with us is, “Was that the only option?” My answer is both yes and no. No, there are many other options available, including them living on their own, as they have no medical or physical reasons for living with us. Yes, […]
I am going out on a limb here and using a “hot” topic for this discussion: food allergies. I am a bit fearful about writing this, as I have witnessed how people respond to this topic because of their admiration for a loved one. We all want our loved ones to be safe. I am […]
