  • Heart Centred

    With the COVID-19 outbreak most are at home waiting for the virus to burn out. It has been a time of stress but also a time when people can relax. Just turn off the news. Dowsing I get that the news is about 65% accurate. Dowsing I get that we will be at home a…

  • Talking about Truth and Willingness

    Today’s challenge for me is to meditate on the words “truth” and “willingness”.   These are really tough words to put together to come up with an “aha” moment.   Truth, of course, is always the way that the different parties understand a situation.  Truth can be altered by the emphasis put on different words in…

  • Should You Ever Give Up?

    Picture from: https://weatherfarm.com/community-photos/tornado-season-touches-down-in-alberta/ I was listening to some people talking in the shopping mall.  They were talking about a friend who had suffered some extreme bad luck.  They marveled at the friend’s ability to see the brightness in every disaster – even when part of their farm was ripped up by a tornado.  One of…

  • A Life Based On Conditions

    A while ago, one of my friends sent me the following story in an email.  The story moved me so much, and made me also think about all the clients that I have worked with over the  years who live their life based on “when” and ‘if”.  These folks miss so much because they are…

  • To Be Filled With Joy!

    How do you become filled with joy when you feel like the bottom has dropped out of your life?  The answer is simple and complicated at the same time.  It is about finding a place to start… a place to take a simple step.  For me, that simple step is usually to go through the…

  • Our Expectations Cause Problems

    I have four friends tell me that I expect too much of them.  This makes me laugh because I expect them to be exactly as they are… imperfect humans.  I realize that they have an expectation that they must be at their best when they are around me.  I am not sure where that expectation…

  • Why Do We Hurry?

    “Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.” – Saint Francis de Sales Picture from https://wildlifepreservation.ca/western-painted-turtle/ Do you remember the story of the tortoise and the hare?  They had a race, and even though…

  • Aloneness

    Dear Readers, This is a collection of sayings about being lonely and aloneness.  Psychiatrists and psychologists are talking about the number of people experiencing loneliness.  Perhaps the doctors are missing some aspects of aloneness because many millennials are choosing to live alone.  They like their own company.  They like the independence.  They like the freedom…

  • Laughing

    Have you noticed that you do not laugh as much as you used to?  Is it because you have forgotten how? Or, is it because nothing is funny? I think that when we do not laugh, we age more quickly and we pick up viruses more easily.  If you think that I am wrong, ask…

  • Working on Who You Are

    We often have a preconceived idea of who we are.  It comes from how our family treats us and how the world outside the family treats us.  Soon, it becomes our identity.  Many times, it is a false identity.  When people tell us who we are, or tell us what we think and what we…

  • Thoughts on Being

    There are many ways of being.  We can be, here and now, and that means we are in the present.  Or, we can be upset, angry or discouraged.  We also can be happy, excited, and focused. We can choose to ‘be’ many things. It is difficult, though, to be what we want to be and…
