Disagreement Doesn’t Have to Equal Disaster

I was 36 years old when I realized for the first time that I was allowed to have boundaries with my parents, and that it was okay for me to expect those boundaries to be respected.  Today, at 37, I have realized for the first time that I can be in disagreement with my family …

Relationships

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, about the relationship between parents and children.  Now, some may scoff or ignore me because I don't have any children of my own, and they're right, I don't.   I don't have children, but I was a child at one time, and I am someone's child.  I …

Emotions, Energy, and LOA

Feelings = Emotion = Energy = Vibration = Frequency So, Law of Attraction (LOA) is a really big buzzword/catchphrase right now.  Everyone is telling us what it is, and what it means, and how to work it... but while much of what is said sounds like more of the same, there're some pretty big differences …

Sorry, Not Sorry.

So, I've just had a revelation. All day long, I walk around telling everyone 'Sorry', or 'Excuse me', or 'Pardon me'.  Constantly.  I'm apologizing for bumping into people, for being too cheerful, for not walking fast enough when someone holds the door open for me, for dropping the F-bomb on my own blog; it feels …

What A Difference 

Friends, meditation should be mandatory at schools and workplaces.  And homes.  And at stoplights. I spent nearly two days pulling at various strings, seeing what pulled free from the snarl of emotions I had going on, and within twenty minutes of stilling my mind, of going to my 'zone', the light switched on.  And that's …

Talk the Talk, Walk the Walk

Phew. This weekend was rough for me.  Really rough. I had about a 24 hour melt-down.   It was ugly, it was vicious, and it was so excruciating to go through, and even more excruciating to witness, I imagine. I am both proud and ashamed of my various behaviors during that time period.   Some things …

When Is Love Not Love?

Love isn't love when it hurts.  Love doesn't hurt.  Deep down, you know what love feels like.  Acceptance.  Peace.  Joy.   Exhilaration.  Not pain and suffering. If you're in pain, you're not in love. If it's annoying you, you're not loving it. If it outrages you, you're not loving it. If you're not loving it, …
