So often people think they have forgiven themselves and others but they really haven’t.
Without true forgiveness we can’t let go and move on. We end up dragging around unresolved hurts and disappointments in our heart, on our bodies, and that haunt our thoughts.
There is no resolution because there is no peace. And because relationships are the cornerstone of our life experiences, we are continually given experiences that break our hearts open for deeper compassion and love. Read More→

Don’t get lost, as you go down the aisle of life. You’re married, yet still you. Keep that internal GPS of you. As you go through your life, dealing with troubles and stress you must always be able to find you.

So many of us have looked externally for validation, self-worth, and reassurance that we are okay. But when we do this, we find that there is never quite enough external assurances to soothe us. The minute we receive some compliment or praise, we are in search of the next honor or award. It becomes a never-ending search for our own self-worth.

Nurturing the love in yourself increases your experience of love in the world.
We all have an inner judge that is very good at pointing out everything wrong with us and everyone else. This judge who is determined to find fault with everything is the opposite of love which is appreciation and gratitude. The judge is a trick the ego uses to separate us from each other. As long as you are finding fault with someone, it’s hard to feel good about them and share good energy. Read More→

Have you ever achieved an important goal or dream, yet quickly moved on to the next task? Or maybe you boldly took a risk, yet your performance didn’t meet your expectations or others? Or maybe the perfectionist in you felt the accomplishment wasn’t big enough or worthy of celebration? Do you generously celebrate your wins?
I thought I was someone who was good about celebrating successes. And, maybe you have too. But recently, a few significant events opened my eyes to the importance of celebrating and the costs associated when accomplishments are minimized, criticized or glossed over. I invite you to explore the “celebration factor” in your life, as I share my own recent experiences with you. Read More→
