There Is Another Way

the wheel of suffering

Hello, sweet friend. Love and hugs I send to you on this day. It’s a gift to have friends to share the heart space with, don’t you think? Thank you for being here. I’ve been thinking about the way we carry people who’ve upset us. We can feel disappointed, or let down, unseen, not supported. It can be a regular thing to think about the situation on a repeating loop and the effects of this on the body and general mood are quite difficult to bear. There is another way to see this though. It requires a strength I know… …Read More »

Broken, but Better

As a kid, I often felt helpless and unsafe around the people who were supposed to love me the most. I was at the mercy of their fluctuating moods and addictions. The experience of not being cherished or wanted was ongoing and relentless. My personal work today is sitting with how that wounding gets tweaked now as I meet people who resemble the cast of characters from childhood–the ones who seem unsafe, wildly fluctuating in their moods, addicted, and unable to cherish or respect me. On each of our paths, situations will arise where the patterns are repeated. Do not… …Read More »

The ego-mind hears that so stressed out and it gets so excited! This is the moment its been waiting to flood you with stories… …Read More »

Belonging was never about you fitting in, it was always about coming home to yourself.

Most of us have a wounded understanding of what it means to belong. It’s not what our inner 5th grader thinks; it’s not the desperate longing to fit in so you feel normal and safe and okay. It doesn’t come from you conforming to what other people find acceptable. No, belonging isn’t what the inner 5th grader in you thinks it is. Most of us carry woundings around what it meant to be loved and accepted as kids. In one way or another, we had to betray our true nature in order to do things the right way and continue… …Read More »

Be super kind and gentle with your resolutions this year. Remember, happiness is not just about what you look like. Or what your bank account looks like. Or what your metrics say.

Lots of us are making resolutions right now. The goals I am hearing most are: 1. Lose weight or get into shape 2. Create abundance and dial down the debt 3. Overcome an addiction like smoking or drinking or eating… …Read More »

On Loving Yourself Enough to Leave the Surface of Things

you can trust your journey

Most of my life I was trained to believe that my basic goodness was tied to my outer appearance. It was my face, my hair, and the number on the scale that determined whether or not I was acceptable, worthy. The clothes I wore held the power to determine if I belonged or would be shunned. Later, my earthly credentials began to factor in–the bigger my degree, the better my standing. Later still, it was my car, my house, my bank account that guaranteed my security. I was trapped on the surface of things. All the while I was striving… …Read More »
