Unreasonably Grateful

It is good for all of us to step back sometimes from the ongoing activity of our lives and take a closer look at what we are depending on. It’s a good inquiry. Depending can certainly lead to dependence and that is what we are looking at this week. Remembering that real freedom is you can or you can’t, not you have to. Listen in for some guidance in making the inquiry for yourself. Thank you for b...

I don’t know about you but it is so easy for words to seemingly jump out of my mouth before I have even had time to think about what I am about to say.

I am offering sessions on Tuesday mornings, if you wou...

Someone asked me recently about how to maintain a healthier lifestyle. I had to giggle as I consider it is all maintenance. Think about it, if you do something well, if you make a healthy change in your life, if you buy a new car or a new home, or even if you simply clean your house then what, see what I mean, it’s all maintenance. So listen in if you want some insights on what that might look lik...

People often say one of the most important choices you will ever make is selecting your partner/wife/husband. I get it, however consider that if we create our relationships than what matters most is you choose someone who is up for just that, being responsible for creating a great relationship/marriage. It’s work for sure and some of the most rewarding work you will ever do. So it isn’t so much ab...

And the rest of the title is and we almost NEVER listen. Think about it. How good at listening are you? How often are you thinking of what you are going to say, or how you agree or disagree with what is being shared. I suspect that the times in our lives that we were really listening to someone are few and far between. What if you were a better listener, what if the people in your life experienced...
