Breaking Free from Drama
It can be hard to release ourselves of the habits, patterns and addictions of our lives because so often they go completely unrecognized for what they are… especially when it comes to our addictions to melodrama. For those of us who experienced traumas as a young child, it can become particularly hard to notice, as…

Moving Through Life with Love
It can be challenging to know how to move forward in some situations in a loving way. Many of us face the obstacle of *trying* to come from a loving place, only to have it backfire tremendously. So how can we do our best, knowing that we are coming from a place of love in…

Creating God in Human’s Image
We have this really peculiar way as a species of writing human characteristics on the face of God… kinda how we do with dogs… ya know? We see the world as we are and we decide that God is the same. We decide that an ever expanding Universe is exactly how we see it at…

History Lesson
One of the most fascinating things about this time in history to me is that we can see where we really would have stood looking back. You know? Because my whole life i would hear people say, “If I had been in Nazi Germany, I would have… blah, blah, blah” and things like that. As…

Amends
Today’s blog topic covers something I don’t speak about too often: sobriety. Starting in February of 2008 (the 8th, to be exact), I set out on a new path in life, and because the situation was so dire and because I was on a life and death errand, I took the application of the spiritual…

Living an Intentional Life
How often have we heard someone say: “I didn’t do it INTENTIONALLY”? How often do we say it? This is one of the most important things about doing the work and diving into our shadows to get honest with ourselves. When we do not get quiet and sit with ourselves, when we are not honest…
