Why January is Not the Right Time to Review Your Year and Set Your Goals

We are in the month of goal setting frenzy and year review and everybody seems to be so willing to change everything in their lives …I wonder though, is it the right time to do this? This is what the outer landscape can look like in January! I am a woman and I have been…

I

This is what we can do and this is what we are here for as therapists or healers or whatever. We only have to assist everything that comes from inside of us in going its way out. It will go if we let it go. It is all so simple. So here is what I…

A Stillness was Born Yesterday… and with that, Happy Holidays!

“A stillness was born yesterday, wanting everyday more,” I wrote as Christmas approached in my parent’s small home in New Jersey.

Another month passed by in New Jersey, with the highway noise bleeding into the background of my consciousness as I unraveled this person I had been.
