The Freedom to Choose

Are you completely free to make a choice? If you would have asked me that question a few years ago, even a year ago, I would have said yes in a heartbeat. I was not in a situation where I would have had to deal with negative consequences because I made a certain choice – […]

Underneath the surface

The school shooting last week in Florida had me sit and look deeper. I get the call to limit access to guns, especially semi-automatic guns. Yet the question that kept coming up for me was: Will this solve the problem? Dealing with the availability of guns is dealing with the surface issue. It took me […]

Ask and You Shall Receive

Have you had the experience of asking and nothing happened? I have and I have been wondering what it is that I am not getting. Here are some things I learned and using them had quite an effect. I have been asking for things I felt I needed. “Universe, I need …..” The Universe gave […]

Is a Problem a Problem?

Recently, some friends and I had a conversation about problems we have. The question was asked: What would be if none of us had a problem? We realized that a) we would not fit in if we didn’t have a problem since most people have problems; b) we would not know what to do if […]

Being in Allowance

What does it mean to be in allowance? Are allowance and acceptance two different words for the same thing? Outwardly, they seem to be the same. Allowance and acceptance are worlds apart.

Neither […]

Having some extra money is nice. Residual income is even better. So how does one get there? One way is to create additional streams of income. Since the beginning of this year, I have been playing with three. Quite some time ago, a friend told me about an app for my phone with which I […]

A Poem

In the last 3 minutes: I read something and suddenly felt like throwing the towel, being done, ready to check out. I ask: Who does this belong to? and it lightens up. Ahhhh, not mine, I’ve picked up someone else’s thoughts! To change it completely, another choice: I lower all my barriers, connect with the […]

Being perfectly me – not

I have talked about the Being You Adventures I am facilitating. I get often asked what it means to Be You. Sometimes it is easy to answer, and then there are the times when it is not. For the past 3 weeks, I have been wondering what is required of me at this point in time? […]

Receiving

In preparation for this post, I looked up the definitions of receiving. There are many, therefore I will clarify about which kind of receiving I am talking about: to get or be given something; to react to something. How is it for you if someone gives you something? Let’s say it is something small in […]
