Divorce: Pain and Rebirth
The reality of divorce is pain, confusion and grief. We lose an entire way of life that we may have spent years building. Our plans for the future dissolve and must eventually be replaced with new and better plans. How do we re-create ourselves after divorce?
Divorce recovery: Letting Go of Toxic Emotions
You will never fully recover from your divorce and go on to live a new and vibrant life unless you can let go of the toxic emotions produced as a result of a failed marriage. Letting go is one of the hardest things to accomplish after a divorce. Some people live the rest of their lives mired in bitterness, anger and resentment. The ability to let go allows us to move on with our lives and create new lives that open up a world of possibilities.
Moving Beyond Your Divorce: Acceptance
There is no single more powerful stumbling block to moving beyond our divorce into a new life than the inability to accept our new reality. Acceptance is the hardest part of the divorce recovery process. Acceptance requires total honesty, courage and the willingness to let go of the life that we had...a life that no longer exists. Without that acceptance, we cannot move forward and create a new life.

Conscious Living - The Key To Positive And Lasting Change
To be aware or conscious of our actions, out thoughts, our motivations and our reactions is to live on a conscious level. Conscious living allows us to have far more control over our lives and not be run by self-defeating habits. We recognize when the unconscious part of our mind is attempting to run the show. This recognition will diminish its power over us. This will lead us to state where we are operating at our personal best with a clear vision of who we are and where we want to go.
The Head Banging Syndrome - Stopping Bad Habits
Don’t you sometimes wonder why you seem to repeat the same self-defeating behavior over and over again? Kind of like banging your head against the wall…doesn’t get you very far. Habitual behaviors like these stem from childhood experiences and become engrained into our psyche BUT they can be overcome. Recognizing that pesky little childhood gremlin is the first step in reversing bad habits.
The Good Life
to the topNewly released research once again proves that what we possess in a materialistic sense has not made people happier. What does create happiness in our lives has less to do with money than it does with the emphasis on family, friends, nature, fulfillment and creative expression.

Don't Settle for Less - Getting the Most out of Life
All too often we settle for less because even though it is not the life we want, it is the life we know. This sense of security, albeit lacking, keeps us from initiating the kind of changes that can have a major impact on our happiness and our life’s meaning. As a wise person once asked me, “What are you going to do with this one precious life of yours?
The Inner Work of Creating Positive Change
