thoughts from me to you
Taking responsibility for someone else’s happiness
We've all been there - frustrated and resentful about having to constantly push someone we love to become a better version of themselves. I realised over the last few weeks that the journey I went on with my own family was something that's repeated in many peoples'...
Why do bad things happen to good people?
This came up in my A Course in Miracles group recently, so I wanted to share some insight here too. Why do bad things happen to good people. Why do bad things happen at all? Is it random? Is it punishment or karma for bad behaviour in this or another life? Why is life...
Is routine and consistency a good thing?
If you follow me on any kind of social media, you'll know by now that last week I got a puppy. I've wanted one for a long time and chose carefully, then waited for months for the right breeder and the right litter. Patience isn't my strongest trait, so by the time I...
Straight to love
I teach people to feel their feelings, that it's good and healthy to acknowledge what's going on for them and feel them, so they can be dealt with and released. It's the cornerstone to almost all talking therapies. I hit a bit of a wall with this a few weeks ago. I...
I’m only as good as this moment
Something occurred to me today. If we consider time as the flexible entity that it is, in that the past doesn't actually exist anywhere but in our memories and the future doesn't exist at all and is purely speculative, we only have the present moment. The only place...
Trusting in the Universe
I think we've all had times when we've felt like we just aren't strong enough. Like there's so much stuff going on we just don't know if we're going to make it through, and sometimes, we even question why we might want to. I don't want to go too dark here but I know...
How to trust yourself
I'll be completely honest here, I'm still learning how to trust myself. I think it will be an on-going journey. You think you've got it sussed, then someone or something betrays you and you have to reassess and recalibrate. Were you wrong in trusting yourself in this...
How to deal with control issues
I don't know about you, but I have a tendency to be a bit controlling when it comes to, well, life. I'm what I like to call a recovering control freak. I have control issues. That means that basically, I have less freak outs than I used to. This week I've been...
Learning to let go
It's the hardest and the easiest thing in the world to do. 'Just let it go.' We get told over and over again (well, those of us who have a tendency to be just a tad neurotic about things) that our lives would be so much simpler if we could just let it go but for most...
