Each month I encourage a different ‘inner’ focus for contemplation and study. During October, I encourage you to examine your current state of ‘self-acceptance’. The degree to which you are self-accepting is driven by your inner work. Self-acceptance is something you can wholly experience in your adult life – with conscious attention and effort to your inner thoughts and beliefs, and by [...]
It’s a novel way of embracing the ‘new’ in your life – letting go of what no longer serves you… Being willing to surrender and release is a powerful way to consider how you will celebrate this new year and (if you choose it) how you will live the entire month of January. Surrender and release [...]
During December, as the people of the world celebrate their culture’s holidays, I am reminded of the beauty that we strive to create: candles lit on menorahs, wreaths to decorate our front doors, lights that create amazing brightness, ornaments and objects shimmering, sparkling, bright colors that are seen everywhere, and delicious foods that we indulge in and enjoy. What are you celebrating? [...]

Are you able to see the results of some hard work….showing kindness, patience, practicing altruism? [...]

As much as someone may want assistance, guidance, insight, help… they can only receive such assistance if they are willing to look at their self. Sometimes, clients come to a therapy session not because they are truly ready to make any lasting changes. They may want a third person’s point of view, they may want [...]
October is a time of true blessings indeed. The beginnings of change that are clear and evident with summer’s passing grace. The soulful return of Autumn – and the quiet realization that with it, our reflection is moving – changing – inspiring us in new ways. October symbolizes a change of seasons, of nature, of [...]
