There’s something about a new year. The old year is ending and the symbolism of winter reminds us that old things are done away. As a fresh new year approaches, it is a natural tendency to think of all the things we’re going to do better. We set new year’s resolutions, determined that this year we are going to stick with them … for real this time! “I’m finally going to lose these 20...

There’s no escaping feeling bad from time to time. Feeling bad is a part of life. Our feelings are indicators of our thoughts. Painful or angry thoughts alert us that something is wrong. This is when it’s time to take action. Consider that negative feelings are similar to alerts or notifications on your smartphone that pop up for a moment, but disappear when you dismiss them.

It’s human nature to look to others to validate our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. But, when those thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are rooted in victim mentality, validation of limiting beliefs will do nothing more than weaken self-confidence and cause one to feel helpless, cheated, desperate, bitter, and powerless.

What do you see? We live in a world where there are plenty of things to notice: Things that are exciting, things that are pleasing, things that are heartwarming, things that instill love and hope. There are also things that are baffling, disheartening, or downright disturbing. Things that corrupt, things that tear down. The spectrum includes the greatest love and the deepest hate, and everything in between. All these things exist. Yet, ask 100 different people...

Every day better and better

One day, finding myself in the midst of circumstances that were not in my dreams, and certainly were not my passion, I wondered how I got there, and I began to feel my...

For the past seven years, I have had the privilege to meet with many individuals to facilitate healing energy work and personal empowerment coaching. It’s been joyful, amazing, enlightening, miraculous and a great privilege. At times, It has also been challenging, overwhelming, and, if I’m not careful, draining. The techniques I’ve learned and use are powerful tools for releasing negative thoughts and energies as well as false and limiting beliefs. The principles that have...
