thoughts from me to you
Stop imagining
Stop imagining what isn't there.If you're thinking more than one step ahead, stop. Controversial advice I know. Probably not as helpful if you're flying a plane or some such thing. However, for everything else that's going on in your head, if you're worrying about the...
Judgement
Sometimes forgiveness comes really easily to me, othertimes it requires consistent effort - to catch the judgemental thoughts, the times I'm attacking with my mind. So much of what we do is unconscious. It's not until we decide we want to notice, that we want to feel...
Thought Timeline
Ever thought, 'OK - I've finally learned the lesson. I'm not going to let that happen again.' Only to have the same trigger or experience show up again?There is a time lag between our thoughts and form creation. This is wonderful because it gives us chance to change...

Being supported
A little reframe, if you notice you are stuck in feelings or fears of lack or scarcity:"I am always supported."This phrase has helped me through many a panicky feeling - if my bank account fell low, if my boyfriend broke up with me, if I got sick, if I broke down in...
To give and receive
I feel like I don't talk about A Course in Miracles enough for the amount it influences my life and my work, as some find it triggering, despite it's simple teaching of choosing love over fear. So I hope I can share some of the wisdom, without the rhetoric.It's funny...
