Thankful For the Healing   Every injury, every hurt, can be a place for healing.  Or it can stay sore.  You are responsible for your choice and your healing.  You are the author, the actor, and the director.  And isn't that beautiful?  No one else can heal you.  But another can create a safe container, a sacred stage, and a corner of comfort to hold you.  And if you are willing to receive, in that place of safety, you can let yourself reboot.  This moment can then be a new experience of healing.  And when you give yourself this, when you let yourself reboot, you will no longer be liv…

I hope today you will spend time reflecting on all you are thankful for: friends, family, health, being given another day, whatever blesses you deeply.     As you know, I can be a little curious or nerdy when taking a deeper look at traditions.

Are you ready? Close your eyes. Count to 3.  One….two….three….. There is no such thing as happiness! Wait? What?  Surprise! You have happy days and sad days.  Happy moments and sad moments.  There’s no:  Happiness forever spot.   It is all relative and it’s also, all up to you. We make ourselves feel sad because we think we are doing something wrong if we don’t always feel happy.  And then we hide so others won’t know, which only makes it worse.

What's That in Your Pocket? What’s precious to you? What’s that special thing you love to collect? And what is that feeling you get when you have uncovered one more? It’s a pretty big thrill isn’t it?   I wrote a piece a little while back on Collecting.  It’s published in Ololith.  I’d love to hear your thoughts. My Dad collected quarters, matchbooks, and stamps in big glass vases.  He had jars and jars lined up on his closet shelves, each one overflowing and full.  He liked things gathered and contained.  Things that he found, or things that were given, or his absolute favo…

You Can't Hold the Wind And there's a lot of power in a whirlwind! It's been one of those types of month’s for our world. There’s so much uncertainty and so much confusion.  Where is the force coming from and what will happen next?  Has your life felt like this as well? So many things on your plate and everything is Moving, shaping, and transforming fast? It can feel overwhelming or pretty darn scary. And in these moments I try to remember.... You can't hold on to the wind. The key is to harness its power OR get out of the way! Which do you do? This past year has been a "let's crack you …
