A first grader was hunched over in the corner, extremely upset, during class, on and off. He felt that his buddy "hated him" because his buddy was playing with other students and had other friends now. His buddy even checked in on him but the student hid his face. While I reminded his buddy that …

Physical ailments? Love them to death!
I have always thought there was something wrong with me. The slightest pang or imbalance in my body would cause such intense anxiety and this in turn would create more physical ailments. All of our fears and even our wounds can eventually end up in our body. For instance, my stomach is generally the home …
Compassion
Most issues in the world have always had the "us against them" mentality. It starts young in a very competitive world. In fact, I recently got caught up with it myself, during the election. We are doing the same exact thing to each other. Are we really that different? Have we walked in their shoes? …
To the candidates…
Like most people, I've been following the election with my very strong ideas and opinions and I voted last week. I've been very angry at a certain candidate but for various reasons my feelings have shifted from anger to sorrow. I cried for the pain that person must have to inflict such pain on others. …

Take back your power
I didn't realize how much energy I leaked all over the place. The constant worry, the doom and gloom feelings, the pain and suffering in the world, physical ailments, getting older, boredom, relationship struggles. It got too much! When I finally stopped to listen to what my body was telling me, it said "I have …
Release the Labels, they are limiting!
I could have been labeled OCD, ADD, Seasonal Effective Disorder, Emotionally Disturbed...thank God I was not. Although a psychiatrist once described me as such, and names can help us understand and feel understood, to label is to define and limit for we are much much more! We are amazing spiritual beings, each with own magnificent …
For the New Year, create something new!!
For this New Year, think about the kind of life you want. Is it a healthy relationship, a working car, fulfilling work, a home to call your own, financial abundance, peace, love and joy? Pretend for a moment that there were no obstacles...that money was abundant. What would you be doing? Write it down if …
Relationships: Intimacy, the dance…
Many fear intimacy. The answer is simple. If we don't love ourselves completely, it is very difficult to love another. When I met my husband so long ago I was terrified. He was loving and kind. His love was so intense I thought there must be something wrong with him. Clearly, my tolerance for love …
