One of these days, I’m going to write a more extensive blog on the topic of channeling. Channeling Divine energy is simply the act of being in touch with your Highest Self. On some days (like this morning ) I channel bold global statements that I feel are worthy of sharing – trusting in that [...]
Perhaps one of the most undervalued privileges of the human experience is self-knowledge. Beyond describing what it is that we do for a living, our preference of music genre, or our favourite ice-cream flavour, how well do we really know our self? Much of our adolescence is spent contemplating who we would like to be [...]

As human beings, we have a fundamental and inherent need to experience love. Whether it manifests itself as an unconscious desire to have others like and accept us (and so our behaviour becomes motivated by this need); or an deliberate drive to experience love through our relationships, the truth is….we all seek love. Never before in the history of the [...]
It is no surprise International Women’s Day falls on my Father’s birthday. He has raised me to be my own advocate, to stand proud of my abilities and accomplishments, to seek any goal that I may choose, and to see myself as capable and equal to all of humanity. We might choose to be reminded of any [...]
Couples entering therapy still do so as a last attempt to fix their relationship; usually after much irreversible damage has occurred. In most cases, couples rely on their partner to ‘change’ as a prerequisite for the relationship to improve. Doing so simply averts the immediate positive outcome they are seeking since a loving couple relationship requires the [...]
I don’t typically arrive home at night planning on unexpected adventure. By day’s end I am usually in a reflective mode, quietly examining events of the day…looking inward … quieting my mind and pondering peaceful rest. Alas, I recently found myself climbing a 15 yr old 70+ ft high tree to rescue two cats who had conveniently left [...]

If you remember back to a recent post this month… I talk about the idea of B A L A N C E. Here is an element of how to create true balance in your life…now and always: Do you wonder if it is when you reach out toward others that you somehow feel supported, [...]
Intention is everything. You can say that you want to do something, to try and change something, to begin something…but what do your intentions really say? Your intentions describe your actions … you are intending what you want through those actions (or at time lack thereof). Your intentions drive your actions and behavior. When your [...]
Some of you have kindly been following some of the writing I do as a columist and guest writer in other magazines. Thank you! I’d like to share with you an excerpt from the upcoming issue of HEART: Business Journal for Women. The release of the latest online issue is available November 12 and the editor as [...]
I work with clients who are making profound changes to their lives. Sometimes those encompass or are even specific to weight loss, body image goals. I was speaking by phone with a client yesterday (and yes how wonderful it is to be able to work with clients by telephone when they live far away or [...]
We all see what we want to see. The ‘veil of truth’ is what we would like to think is true. For all of the times we have told ourselves something in the hopes of it satisfying a particular need, validating a wrongful behaviour, or deciding that we are justified in feeling a certain way and [...]
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 [...]
Your sense of self is your knowledge and awareness of who you are. Sense of self requires a level of consciousness that predicates honesty (to yourself and others), about what you believe in, ascribe to, value, and uphold. Sense of self also implies evolution. To develop your sense of self requires ongoing introspection, self-awareness, and [...]
