I have been intrigued when listening to clients life stories that often include faulty beliefs and conclusions they’ve made about themselves. This welcoming back of their true selves is beautiful to behold!

Our internal attachments are often behind our actions and emotions. So bringing consciousness to our hidden attachments is one characteristic of maturity.
Attachments- The root of Suffering Teach me to Care, And Not to Care, was the title of one of John Lee's books that has stayed with me for years. How can I be caring for others and myself, while not betraying my values because of some core attachment? Attachment and it's varying threads and theories are vast. Freud & others developed...

Trusting Life has been a game changer for me. Let me know if this resonates with you. Please consider - Liking and Sharing.
New Blog Post Trusting Life
Having spent the better part of the last 2 1/2 years out on the road alone, I deeply resonate with this making peace with solitude. It was less about losing parts of myself, rather, a process of continually letting go to discover my deeper self, including self- love and compassion.
Wise words from John O'Donohue.
"Each one of us is alone in the world.
It takes great courage to meet the full force of your aloneness.
Most of the activity in society is subconsciously designed to quell the voice crying in the wilderness within you.
The mystic Thomas a Kempis said that when you go out into the world, you return having lost some of yourself.
Until you learn to inhabit your aloneness, the lonely distraction and noise of society will seduce you into false belonging, with which you will only become empty and weary.
When you face your aloneness, something begins to happen.
Gradually, the sense of bleakness changes into a sense of true belonging.
This is a slow and open-ended transition but it is utterly vital in order to come into rhythm with your own individuality.
In a sense this is the endless task of finding your true home within your life. It is not narcissistic, for as soon as you rest in the house of your own heart, doors and windows begin to open outwards to the world.
No longer on the run from your aloneness, your connections with others become real and creative.
You no longer need to covertly scrape affirmation from others or from projects outside yourself.
This is slow work; it takes years to bring your mind home."
JOHN O'DONOHUE
