Action begins with the first small step and then another.  One day at a time.  Action begins with belief in yourself, the support of others and spiritual connection.  Once one muscle is moved another is engaged and so it goes – momentum follows as long as we stay in the present.   Retreating to the pastContinue reading “Action”

Where do we go to find courage?  I know for a fact, that we can’t look outside of ourselves – we have to find courage within.  And how do we embrace the fledgling courage we find there when fear is working very hard to slam the door on it? In my previous posts, I wroteContinue reading “Courage”

Discovery In my last post, I wrote about the second stage of deep change – awakening.  As we awaken, the awareness of our spiritual nature grows as well as our awareness of what needs to happen to transform our lives.  This leads to the very important stage of Discovery. Discovery is, in part, personal asContinue reading “Discovery”

In my last post, I wrote about awareness and the beginnings of the realization that I needed to make some big changes. As my awareness increased, an awakening of sorts began to occur.  There were the beginnings of general and even clear understandings of why I was disturbed, but the primary realization was that theseContinue reading “Awakening”

I’ve been in a fairly steady process of deep change for quite a while now and can honestly say that even though this has been heavy duty and sometimes painful work, I have experienced remarkable and transformational change.  I’ve reflected on and analyzed the processes that I needed to go through in order to makeContinue reading “Awareness”

I know I’m not alone when I say that every day seems like the last. Covid-19 has kept me confined to my home with occasional outings to walk my dog, forays to the local market, masked and gloved, and lots of time spent in my home office attending Zoom meetings. I began complaining that itContinue reading “What Really Matters”

In her newsletter, Dr. Schuman says, “I see that existential shock arises as a consequence of beingContinue reading “We Are All in This Together”

Covid-19 is here and we are all being forced to change.  My reactions have been changing, too.  At first, I was dismissive, then annoyed, then worried, then I felt neutral followed with resignation and acceptance.  I indefinitely postponed a workshop that I’ve been working on for a long time and felt relieved. I suddenly hadContinue reading “Like it or not – Change”

I went to church today and the sermon was about letting go of things and ideas that we no longer need or no longer serve us. On the back of the Order of Service I found these quotes that I’d like to share: Anything I cannot transform into something marvelous, I let go. – AnaisContinue reading “Making Space and Finding Joy”

Yesterday, September 21st, the Fall Equinox, 25 people came to an event I put on titled Experience the Labyrinth.  The purpose of the event was twofold – first, as a community offering for my graduate Practicum class at Antioch University and, second, as one of the steps that I need to take to become aContinue reading “Reflections on the Event, “Experience the Labyrinth.””
