Release the Elephants! How to Avoid Family Drama During the Holidays

the elephant in the living room

Here’s how to shift your perspective and let go of the upsets family drama can bring. Especially now at this time of year when things seem particularly challenging. Nothing brings on the elephants like a holiday season. (do you know that saying, the elephant in the living room?) The elephant stands there in the middle of the room while people gather around and pretend it isn’t there. The elephant seems to be blowing a trumpet of truth and discomfort and sometimes even leaves you yukky “presents” on the floor… but mostly we act like it is not happening. But on… …Read More »

Read This When You’re Beating Yourself Up Again

This is a love letter to my friends who struggle with repeating patterns of behavior and have a hard time breaking free. And sometimes beat themselves up about it. I put myself in that camp too. Ahhh what great company we keep! Hello Sweetie, I am writing to you now because I can see you are going there again. That thing you do has happened again and now you’re heading for that yukky-poo place you go to when you do the kinds of things you just can’t face. It’s okay if we don’t rehash what happened. I won’t make you tell… …Read More »

How to Remember You Are Spirit When Everything Feels like It’s Going Wrong.

you are a supercollider

You are infinite and timeless. A spark of the Divine. You come from somewhere else. This is the Truth we are practicing remembering. And even if we remember one fraction of a minute every other day, it still counts. You are not some finished product occasionally in need of a tiny tweaking. You are a spirit in a body who often needs help remembering the spirit part and then allowing it to influence the human part. Love is where you came from. Love is who you are. Most of us do really great remembering who we are when things are going well.… …Read More »

Sometimes, Life Opens Us like a Flower

life opens us like a flower

Sometimes, life opens us like a flower. Usually, it’s in response to something we’ve been praying for. Something we’ve been working so hard to open up on the inside; something we’ve cried and cried about because we just cannot find the effing doorway. We can’t find it, and we can’t find it, and we can’t find it.   And then suddenly we are opened up. And when it happens, it is so wild, so radical, so moving… for a moment all you can do is stand there stunned. There are strange ripples in your body, flutters and pounding, excitement and… …Read More »

There’s Only You and Me and We Just Disagree

I love that song by Dave Mason: We Just Disagree I think it’s really a love song of sorts but every time I hear it my heart finds its way back to family and old friends where wounding happened and stuff still isn’t healed. My eyes prick with tears as I tell you that. Sometimes it’s just really hard to be awake and on a journey and have people in our lives where the shit has gone down and the path with them isn’t smooth and easy anymore. Harder still are the places where I feel like the horrible stuff… …Read More »

Life Loves You and Just Can’t Quit You

This love note is about turning your story around and becoming willing to see how every crappening is actually an opportunity. May it serve you and uplift you and help your heart to heal. Hello, sweet friend! I have a feeling you don’t always realize how loved and cherished you are. At times it’s hard for you to believe that you’re an adored, valued member of the Universe. Especially when things go wrong and screw up on us, it feels like that’s the truth. We’re not as special as everyone else. And we blame ourselves thinking it’s our fault. It… …Read More »

The Abundance Series Part 3: Stop Repenting and Forgive your mistakes already

  For years after my mother’s death, I had this recurring nightmare: She was returned from the dead, and she wanted her money back. The worst part about those dreams was the part where I had to explain to her that the money was all gone. My throat would close up and I couldn’t speak to her. I’d wake up sweaty and terrified. I felt like such a shitty person, a total loser. 90% of the time I am firmly in the camp of I am done repenting for my mistakes. I have forgiven myself. I love myself. I am… …Read More »

On Forgiveness: You don’t have to carry it. It’s all right to set it down.

On Forgiveness: You don

It’s okay if you don’t want to carry it. It’s okay if you still object to what happened but you also know that holding onto it is hurting you. It’s good and right that you know this: It’s hurting you to carry it, and you’re looking for some way to release it, but you still object to what happened. AND, I know about the advice that says every upset needs to be carried and churned until it is dissolved. Only then will you truly move on, they say. But sometimes, the thing we’re carrying is so old, it’s so wrong,… …Read More »
