Time and again, I’ve seen articles, posts, and quotes that advise, “If you want to be more positive, remove negative people from your life.” And when I’ve read this advice, I always have an intense internal reaction. I have experienced the pain of loss and abandonment, and every time this message comes around, I think […]
Gratitude has become one of the most commonly recommended forms of self care and while I, like many others, have heard about gratitude journals, gratitude stones, and daily gratitude practices for years, I didn’t really believe it would work until I experienced it for myself. In theory, the idea of staying grateful for what we […]
Our Missions are elusive. This inner urge to do something special with our lives comes into consciousness in bits and pieces that have to be assembled into something tangible. As I’m fond of saying, finding our mission is like a detective story into our soul’s inner desires. Fortunately, however, humanity is learning more about this […]
Once we begin to wake up to our purpose in life and discover that we live in a spiritual world, we find that we are supported and guided in many ways; we start to notice the flow of synchronicity, and evidence of spiritual consciousness emerges as we follow the messages we receive. A key to […]

Through 30 years of study and research in Astrology, I’ve discovered that predicting major events is much easier than predicting how the events will unfold in detail. I can compare this with meteorologists who have become very good at forecasting blizzards and hurricanes, but […]
HOW DID WE GET HERE? Over the past few weeks, this question has played out like a broken record in my mind. Through the years, I could see that my partner and I ended up repeating the same patterns of disagreeing, arguing, and shutting down. We would patch over our hurt feelings until the next […]
When our self-worth is knocked, it can be so hard to recover from. Often the words of others can hurt us deeply and we may recoil into our shell, using distance as a protective barrier to avoid being hurt again. Sometimes events may occur, where our actions turn out to be mistakes we never saw […]
