Development tools for a better you
Consider this question: Is this in my highest good? I want to invite you to consider trusting your intuition when making choices in your life. I think that too often when we make decisions, we can get into our heads and overthink them. If we practice slowing down and paying attention, we can feel what […]
C At the beginning of the New Year I wrote a post about Communication and whether or not it might be part of your New Year’s resolutions. I started off a small series on communication that will review some of the tips and tricks for successful empathy, listening and speaking. I will continue to base […]
Life isn’t fair. Far less fair to some than others, but unfortunately, none of us escape pain. None of us escape loss. Every one of us will know tragedy in our lives. Many of us experience this early on when we are far too young and helpless to control any of the variables around it. […]
We are weighed down as a society. The daily assault of news stories, overwhelmingly bad, and the feeling of helplessness to affect change has, at times, felt too overpowering and dark.

We’re about to embark on a new year, which for many of us feels like a new opportunity to change patterns – to better ourselves. Lots of people do this through New Years resolutions.
