A change in seasons

I just came in from the woods. It is cold (relative to humidity which is making it feel colder), rainy and a breezy, not the most comfortable of days weather wise. My reason for being in the woods (yes, we all know I do NOT really NEED a reason to be in the woods, but today I actually have one)

God winks – aka, Where in the world is my kid

It’s been a long few weeks with no communication from my son, the Navy kid. I’ve been fine, I know he’s fine, it’s fine. Until today, I was texting with his wife and she came back with a “Btw, I haven’t had communication from Christian since February —th.” “Me either,” I replied…and then my anxious mind went to work. By

It’s all in the journey

He came to me with this crazy dream, and began to tell me all about it. Recollections of him standing on his head and his deceased mother being there, but not being able to hear her and all sorts of other things. I asked his spirit what this was about, and heard her laughter as a response. “He’s trying way

Telling of Two Things

“I literally told her like 10 percent of what is happening with me, and guess what she says.” My client is talking about a conversation she had with her Mother in regards to a recent well-being retreat involving lovely processes such as deep yoga, clean eating, healing sessions, etc. that she is loving herself through. There is an old counseling

The option of suffering

It has been said that in life, pain is guaranteed, suffering is optional. Yup. Let’s talk about this. A few weeks ago I was working with a client of mine and she was talking about her soon to be ex-spouse. For years their relationship had been toxic; abuse on every level, talking down to her in public creating incredible humiliation,

The sometimes not so gentle tap of potential…

Anyone else feeling just a little… rammy lately? I mean that itch for something new, different, the dream of scrapping it all and walking out of the mundane into a brand new life, just for the fun of doing something so crazy different??? Ok, maybe it’s just me. Except I know it’s not as I see and hear it all

Living the song of your Spirit

As our Minnesota winter has been very spring-like it is actually hard to believe I still have to wait so long for garden season. Each year my unofficial first sign of spring is the Acme tomato catalog showing up in my mailbox. Last week, it happened. As I opened the mailbox the intense orange of the paper almost jumped into

Learning to love “us”

“I can’t meditate. I hate sitting there waiting for my mind to get quiet. It never works. I know I should, but I just hate how I feel. I feel like a failure”. There. She said it. As honest as a new born baby. She was trying so hard to do what she thought she “should” the way that she,

A new view of Discipline

I recall clearly Spirit saying to me that in 2024, nothing will stay the same. I won’t lie, at first I was a bit put off. Being skeptical by nature I was suspicious the moment the words arrived and comprehension clicked in what had been said. “Nothing will stay the same.” As I asked “what the hell does that mean,”

Welcome to the New Year, now DO mostly nothing

Greetings and welcome to 2024! My family will tell you, I am a celebrator. I love to celebrate. All the things; birthdays, anniversaries, promotions, life changes of all sorts and degrees, holidays, non-holidays, a sunshiny day, you name it. On any given day I can be found walking out my front door and exclaiming “HELLO WORLD!” to the sky and
