The Path of Peace!

When you think of conflicts in your life, particularly the interpersonal kind a good rule of thumb is to be aware. Conflicts are designed to alert people to an issue, difference or area that needs resolution or improvement. A conflict signals many things; sometimes one basic sticking point, other times many tendrils that make up the hardship.

Often times, its far easier to identify the conflict or the source of the disagreement than it is to reach for a solution. This is especially true (more…)

Everyone is here for a reason. Every person has a unique and specific purpose that makes you, your life, and your soul your very own. Your soul’s purpose is as unique as your fingerprints. Unfortunately, your fingerprints are a little easier to find! However, the search is a worthy one and you are worth the search.

You came into this world with a distinct role. As you’ve grown, learned and matured you have either paid attention to, and been supported to realize who you are fully, or not so much. Perhaps you once knew your purpose, (more…)

Healthy eating trends, healthy aging

Today the topic is about healthy eating and what fuels people who are on board with current food and healthy aging trends. It seems that more people are becoming aware of healthy or clean eating. Television programs feature more cooking shows, with particular emphasis on using healthy ingredients with specific health benefits. Being active, pro-active with fitness is encouraged in magazines, and on daytime talk shows. More restaurants feature whole wheat versus white flour pastas and breads and substitute more natural sweets mixed in with the old stand by’s. Fruits, vegetables and lean meats are on more plates, organics available wherever you shop. Popular culture (more…)

Find Light in the Darkness!

The day’s murky grey color and softened quasi-rainy dampness makes me think of how you can see and work with dreary relationships and still find a place of comfort and peace. Depending on your point of view you can learn to manage a difficult relative, boss, co-worker, ex and other difficult people in your life and still enjoy the day! It really depends upon your point of view. Essentially it comes down to what you focus on, what you resonate with and what direction you choose to go.

You go through the reality of the day and what appears before you, it may feel dark and chilly at first. You then realize that (more…)

Living with Gratitude!

Ever wondered what you are here for, what you have in your life now that teaches you, you are truly thankful for and is there to help you grow? Take moments to ponder your existence, your life, your relationships, your work, your very reason for being here? Of course, you have. If you want to re-visit or begin anew, take the trip, it’s worth traveling! In finding out who you are, you respect and cherish what you feel and need, create a great future. There is so much to be thankful for every day, every phase and stage. Especially today on Thanksgiving, you are given a day of unabashed culturally global gratitude in remembrance and celebration of life’s gifts. Celebrating Thanksgiving is (more…)

Relationships Change!

You know how you feel when life is good, when you’re secure with the people in your life. You feel good when you know who your friends are, who you’re related to, dating, in love with, married to; who you think or hope is “the one”. The feeling of emotional security captures your heart, erases the need to question, fear, worry, may or may not minimize any tendencies to self-delude.

What happens when your ideal picture changes, the glass of friendship or love slightly cracks or more significantly shatters? How do you respond to the inevitable choice to feel what is real, possibly let go of what has become increasingly unreal? Where do your good feelings go when you face change, break-up or lose a relationship?

A good rule of thumb is to be aware of yourself, your feelings, and the lessons that appear to you in each of your relationships. Be vigilantly aware of what’s going on in the moment, how you feel with that person, and feelings triggered by your association with them. As you get familiar with what exists between and (more…)
