Change begins with awareness which leads to an awakening. From there, a discovery might occur which can open the door to courage, action and finally flow. Once we’ve reach a state of flow, is this it – have we arrived? Can we always be in a state of flow? Can we always be happy, positiveContinue reading “Flow is Freedom and Ease”

Action is Color
Somehow, the first step just happens and, seemingly, in a moment taking action is the right thing to do. It was only in retrospect that I was able to identify all that went before that first step, allowing the path to open. I felt every emotion possible that day. Fear, anger, shame, resignation, relief andContinue reading “Action is Color”
Courage Comes from Within
If courage comes from within, that means it has always been with you – just hidden behind curtains of fear. It’s so much easier to stick with what you know – to be complacent, and even to live in mediocrity, sadness, despair or fear rather than to muster enough courage to stand in the light.Continue reading “Courage Comes from Within”
Discovering that I’m Not Alone
It was such a relief to discover that I wasn’t alone and that I was understood. I wasn’t the only person to feel the way I felt. I wasn’t unique and many others had lived my life and had found the support they needed to feel whole. Yes, I felt relief but was I readyContinue reading “Discovering that I’m Not Alone”

I searched the internet for studies about why this is, and I found an article by Dr. Charles Herrick, Chair of Psychiatry, NuvanceContinue reading “Say No to Resolutions and Yes to Transformational Change”
With the Rain Comes Hope
It’s raining in Santa Barbara! We haven’t had any significant rain for 8 months and we’ve all been feeling antsy. This is not just a teasing rain but the type of thirst-quenching rain that makes all who live here breathe a sigh of relief as we inhale newly cleaned and refreshed air. I can hearContinue reading “With the Rain Comes Hope”

Stop the Negative Self-Talk
I’ve been preparing for my upcoming online conversation about “Weeding Out Negative Self-Talk” and I began to think about my own experience with this and when it was that I first realized how much I put myself down and described myself in incredibly negative terms. I distinctly remember a time about 10 years ago orContinue reading “Stop the Negative Self-Talk”
