What if trying to fix something is just keeping you stuck in the thing you don’t want?
Today I present to you that your valiant effort to fight something actually works against you.
Let’s start with a check-in.
MY 2017 INTENTION: FORGIVENESS
We are scarcely 3 days into 2017 and already I feel a quiet power brewing for things to come this year. And as I do on most years, I seek to find a word that captures the essence of my intention for the year. I remember in 2013, the word was Create. In 2014, it was Serenity. 2016 was all about Wedding.
As I feel into this big energy for 2017, I find that my word and my intention for this year is: Forgiveness.
HEART WOUNDS CAN BE TOUGH TO HEAL
Last week I was interviewed for the local evening news. Julie Kelly, the reporter wanted to do a story about how the Mending the Heart retreat helps people with their relationships.
She did a great job with the story. You can watch it below.
THE MIRROR IN YOUR MATE
Your mate pushes your buttons. It's inevitable. But it's not your mate who installed those buttons.
Whatever your buttons and frustrations with your husband/partner/girlfriend might be, they were installed by the events of your childhood and early adulthood.
I've always known this and so I approach my relationship with my husband from a place of always seeking to have awareness of where I'm coming from. I also know that there are tools out there that can always help us in our growth journey.
MY BIRTHDAY WISH IS LOVE AND PEACE
It's November 9th, 2016. It's my birthday today.
This surely takes the cake as the most rarified of birthdays for me. It feels quite odd to witness the mix of emotions that are alive in the country today. Whether elated, stunned, delighted or grieving, most people are experiencing a mix of intense emotion today.
Meanwhile, I'm connecting with the joy and pensiveness that my birthday always brings me.
