Purge to Empower

I follow several spiritual leaders on YouTube and one thing everyone seems to have as a common theme for January 2024 is the need for us to purge. (I have noticed this theme coming up in the past few months while working with clients too!)  2024 is certain to be a pivotal year for people.…

The Joy and Pain of the Holidays

Like many of us, I have a love/hate relationship with the holidays. I digitized all of my photos last year, so every morning as I sit in my meditation chair, I see the memories of my life fade in and fade out of my new computer photo frame. The bittersweet memories often cause me to…

Have You Lost Your Inner Child?

A Time For Everything Under Heaven

I recall taking a class at my undergraduate alma mater, Niagara University, called Life, Death and Rebirth. Interestingly enough, it was taught by a Vincentian Priest, and a Ph D who ran our Theater Department. This may seem like an unlikely pair, but for the course it actually made perfect sense. Although this class explained…

Time to Say Goodbye

Some goodbyes are fast and unexpected; our hearts literally feel like they have been cracked open from the pain. We have little time to prepare ourselves, or even consider how life in the future might look, because we simply did not see the winds of change blowing in the direction they decided to go. Yet…
