Did I fail so I could create something that was me?

In December I had an idea, I wanted to change the format of my writing class. I have been taking this program that looks at my numerology, astrology and my Human Design to ensure that the things that I have in my life and the things that I am building toward are in alignment with who I am as a person. In that program I could see my need to go deep, ask probing questions and get to the bottom of understanding.

Creating room for the feminine

I have worked for close to three decades in the business world, when I started in the mid-eighties, I was given messages that I needed to work twice as hard to stand out from the men around me. I was told to emulate the successful men around me, work harder, achieve more that is what would bring success in the business world.

Living from Fantasy

I was on a call with a friend a few weeks ago and we were talking about blog sites. She started to tell me about a blog site the whole premise of which is to allow people to capture the odd things they hear on the streets of New York. My initial response was something akin to “people actually do that?”

It’s okay but it’s not okay

It is over, the holidays, that period of time shrouded in a mountain of expectations. Expectations around how we show up, when we show up, with whom we show up. As I am positive, I am not alone in this sentiment, I wanted the holidays to be over, to be released from the expectations even though those expectations were mostly of my own making.

Time for Introspection

I was talking to a friend the other day, we were both moaning on about not being able to keep up with all of the emails coming into our inbox, we were both avoiding TV and the news. I admitted that I am craving quiet, I am craving slowness, I am craving rest.

The Power of Words

I have always enjoyed writing and reading. As a kid, I quite often had my nose buried in a book and my mind, body & soul lost in a story, to the point that often those around me would say things like they hoped there was never a fire because I may be so lost in my book that I wouldn’t notice. I have often wondered if it is my ability to get lost in story that actually may have saved me from the trauma of my youth.

Commandments of Connection

Thirty weeks ago, I flew home, at the beginning of a pandemic lock down that at the time I naively thought may affect my life for maybe a month or two at most. As I sit here today that feels like an absolute lifetime ago. These last thirty weeks have contained some of the loneliest and darkest moments as I have navigated some of the most difficult changes in my life.

Knowing Your Mission, Talents & Gifts

For decades and decades, I found myself chasing one single question, what was my soul’s mission? What was my own reason for being here on earth? I can tell you that that question led me to explore many religious teachings, go on pilgrimages, attend self-development workshops and it led to the purchase of way more books than I would like to admit.
