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.…
Read MoreLetting Go of the Old to Make Room for the New: Goodbye 2023
When I was 15 years old I remember figuring out that I would be 35 years old in the year 2000. From my youthful perspective, I lamented over the fact that by that time, I would be so old that my life would be over. Well, here I sit at 58 and laugh at myself…
Read MoreThe 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…
Read MoreHave You Lost Your Inner Child?
Children have a natural exuberance. Everything they do is filled with such joy and anticipation that they usually run to get places. We see them energetically wiggle when forced to sit still, and it’s not unusual for them to squeal with delight when something good happens. Without much of an inner filter in place, their…
Read MoreIsn’t it Time to Meet Your Soul?
The first time I did a meditation to learn more about my soul, I was shocked. Yes, I understood there was a “trinity” within me. My human was my thinking brain, which included my ego and all the judgements and programming from this lifetime that went with it. I also knew that my higher self…

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead I recently took my 86 year old mother out to lunch in her wheelchair. It’s a running joke between the two of us about how well I can maneuver…
Read MoreThe Importance of the Higher Self
In this modern age, it’s hard for us to slow down; we race from one activity to another.In the United States, most of us have been raised to believe that we are only efficient when we are getting a lot of things done. Yet all this mindset has achieved, is to breed a society of…
Read MoreA 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…
Read MoreTime 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…
