by Candella The Serenity Prayer God, Grant me the Serenity to Accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to Change the things I can, And the Wisdom to know the difference. – Reinhold Niebuhr I first saw these words on the wall at an AA meeting that my friend had invited me to attend […]
How to Respond to Control Dramas As so many others, when I read the Celestine Prophecy, I got really excited that James Redfield was able to put into words so many of the things I had been experiencing and seeing in my life. One of my biggest excitements was in the way he described the […]
Always in the Celestine Facebook groups, there is discussion on Control Dramas, especially regarding problems that our group members are struggling with and trying to figure out how to solve.

Of course, I recognized those Control Dramas being played out everywhere I turned, by everyone I knew. I could easily identify that my father was mostly an Intimidator, […]

I learned a great deal about the power of choice from some circumstances in which the person involved had little or no choice available. I’d like to share a few of those stories with you here.
