In recent times, the startling amount of microfibres found in the oceans, inside of marine life, has come up repeatedly in my life. I’ve been hearing about it from people I’d least expect it from, seeing content regarding this phenomenon on the internet, and as this information (and more in the same vein) becomes common […]
Having children is at times a mountain to climb with hidden pitfalls waiting for us to slip up and fall on our faces. Yet, when we get back up, there is the most beautiful sunrise. We start again, we learn, improve, and adapt. There is no roadmap to the top of the mountain. We make […]
Many are dissatisfied with the current economic system. We hear a lot about the 1% versus the 99%, and the contrast between the vast wealth of a relatively few people and the extreme poverty we see in so many places is disturbing. The gap in wealth and income between workers and owners, abuses on the […]
This morning, I devoted some time to looking at past comments from members of our Facebook group. One stood out. The person was questioning how to distinguish an intuition from other thoughts, particularly fear thoughts.

The Sixth Insight describes how our […]
As we search for a deeper understanding of our existence, trying to grasp the Big Picture of what’s really happening out there, there is a wealth of information at our fingers. We can surf websites, turn on the television, listen to the radio, and a plethora of voices, opinions, and reported activities are instantly available […]
When we experience difficult times, a common tendency is to try to keep emotions hidden inside, wearing smiles on our faces, hoping to cover our inner distress. And it can be so easy to bottle things up as an alternative to sharing problems, or dealing with the causes of stress head on. We are all […]
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 […]
Do you remember who you dreamed of becoming when you were young? It’s interesting, I find, how our visions of our ‘possible-future-self’ develop as the years pass, and how they continually evolve as we grow older, learn about life, and develop new interests. All of your experiences have contributed to the image you’ve created, and […]
