I think and write a lot about trusting your gut, your intuition or your feelings. It can be tricky trying to figure out if you have it right. I am not talking about right or wrong, just if you are aligned with what is right for you at this moment.

What You See Is What You Think About
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?
Exuding Energy and Absorbing Energy
We all exude and absorb energy and we all are more naturally adept to one or the other. Whichever one isn’t natural for you, that is where your work is. Since I absorb, I am writing this from my point of view. I mean no disrespect to those that exude, rather the contrary. I know […]
Socially Acceptable Farts
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, […]
Do You Know Who You Are?
A very dear friend wrote this poem: Who Are You? By Bill Diesing
Positively Made from a Negative
I remember I used to love to look at the negatives when I picked up my pictures from the drug store (if you have no idea what I am talking about, Google how we had to walk uphill both ways to get our film developed;-), much like I used to notice the darkness of the […]
I Get Knocked Down (A Lot!) and I Also Get Back Up…Don’t Cry for Me
“Don’t cry for me Next door neighbor I get knocked down But I get up again You’re never gonna keep me down I get knocked down But I get up again You’re never going to keep me down” Lyrics from “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba
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 this from a basic function […]
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 love her when you let […]
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 need to be done. I […]
Nouns or Verbs: Changing Limiting Beliefs and Expanding Possibilities
Which have you been labeled — introvert or extrovert? Are you truly shy and reticent OR outgoing and overtly expressive, at ALL times? I am fascinated by the word or. We commonly think of it as a limited choice between two things… hot or cold; inside or outside; today or tomorrow; boy or girl; happy […]
My Selfish Reason for Wishing the Gay Community Didn’t Want Marriage Equality
Don’t get me wrong, I am all for marriage equality and I am very happy when people achieve a goal they believe in and accomplish — woohoo!! Oh, and this has nothing to do with sexual preferences (to me, the gay community has far more depth than sexuality), so check your judgments at the door […]
