We know that life is not fair. We know that things don’t always go as planned. Yet in spite of knowing this, when things don’t go our way we get angry, frustrated, and upset.

How do we keep from pulling our hair out...

Peace on Earth, goodwill to all is what you hear this time of year, but truth be told, it’s sad to see the level of division, distrust and anger in our country today, not to mention the strife we see in the world at large. In the news, on social media, in print, there is anger, condemnation, and blame. Where is the peace? Where is the goodwill? It starts in only one place: your heart. In this epis...

Life is short and done too soon. You think you have all the time in the world, but you don’t. While you worry about the future and wish for the past, the river of your life flows through you unnoticed. Memento Mori is Latin for Remember You Will Die. Does that depress you? Scare you? If we can move past our fear of this inescapable fact, we can see life in front of us as precious, magnificent and...

It’s sad that many people are really struggling with various life challenges but, are not open to talking to anybody about it. They’re simply not open to therapy for one reason or another.

Does FEAR stand for Forget Everything And Run? Maybe a better acronym would be False Evidence Appearing Real because most of our fear is self-created. There are appropriate times for fear, such as the fear of falling or if there is suddenly a loud noise or we find a snake in our path. But most of us, on a daily basis, don’t really find ourselves facing things that are truly dangerous. We want to g...

We all have something to offer our families, jobs and communities. But if we don’t believe this, then we will hide out and not even try. We’ll hide our light under a basket so that no one gets to benefit from it.

Shame. Say the word out loud and feel its intense power. The root of the word shame is thought to come from an older word meaning to cover, as in covering oneself.

The lengths we will go to cover and hide our shame can keep us from ever fully living life. It is hard to be happy, healthy a...
