When we pass neighbours in the street and we’re asked how we are, it’s often easy to say “I’m good, thanks,” and offer a smile, even though, at a core level we may be feeling low. It’s certain that human life will bring trauma, and we may be given a few days off work to […]
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 […]
The door closes. They are gone. That part of your life is now in the past, and the one you loved is yours no more. Sometimes, a break-up will be filled with immediate relief (mostly, it will be filled with sadness) but this scenario has the potential to tear your heart from your chest and […]
We live in crazy, unpredictable, sometimes amazing, and sometimes troubling, times. Our world is in upheaval. We balance precariously between the good and the bad, the danger and the grace.

And it seems to me that these negative behaviours all have two things in common: they are triggered by trauma and rooted in Fear. When something happens that we can’t rationally compute, fear sets in, and it can morph into […]
We have work to do, bills to pay, people and animals to care for… the list of responsibilities we carry is endless. And the people who are able to stay on top of it all are a wonder. They are respected, they are emulated. They are The Responsible Ones. As we reach the age of […]
As I look back at my pattern of growth, it seems like I always start with the First Insight. The Restlessness seems to knock me out of my Synchronistic flow and then into a state of confusion, filled with unknowing and a lack of inspiration. Getting back into the flow is as easy as staying […]
