Where’s The Peace?

Life comes from you and reflects back to you. The other day I was experiencing a bit of a rough patch. Emotionally, high-low and feeling so raw; mentally, the dryer called my brain wouldn’t stop tumbling; physically, I ached into the marrow of my bones. I mean, sheeeesh. I called out, “I just wanna feelContinue reading “Where’s The Peace?”

Down The Rabbit Hole

Am I going mad? You’re mad, bonkers, completely off your head. But I tell you a secret. All the best people are. Alice in Wonderland My son and daughter-in-love dressed up for Halloween this year… again. It may be their favorite holiday. Witches and brew? Cackle-cackle… Vampires and pirates? Let me drink your blood, Cap’n!Continue reading “Down The Rabbit Hole”

The Bravest Thing

We think that holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go. H. Hesse I did a very brave thing indeed. I signed up for a half marathon a few months ago… not brave. For me. I’ve raced many… this morning, the day of the race, I backed out. I. Backed. Out. Me:Continue reading “The Bravest Thing”

Lonely? Sad? Try This…

I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words. I have found myself hugging more lately. It’s not been intentional, but as I wander into the next season of my life, I seem to crave more human contact. There’s just something about a hug. IContinue reading “Lonely? Sad? Try This…”

Swimming For Life

Swimming is a confusing sport, because sometimes you do it for fun, and other times you do it not to die. And when I’m swimming, sometimes I’m not sure which one it is. Demetri Martin I was thirteen before I learned how to swim. Gah, I was terrified of the water though you’d never knowContinue reading “Swimming For Life”

Podcast News!

EnergieGal Podcast – Transformational Conversations – is nearly up and running (again.) I’m so excited! A couple of years ago, I had the idea to offer a podcast. I had NO clue as to what I was doing and didn’t really even listen to podcasts much. Even now, I rarely find myself out there onContinue reading “Podcast News!”

No Ordinary Spider

Well it seems to me that you’re a little off… it seems to me that we have no ordinary spider. Mrs. Zuckerman, Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White I loved this book when I was a kid. Read it numerous times and I hardly ever do that. Once and done. But oh that Charlotte. IContinue reading “No Ordinary Spider”

No Longer And Not Yet

Healing asks, “will you stop struggling? Are you open to enjoying life more, enduring life less?” I’m moving to a new office. Again. It’s been a process over the last few years and, frankly, I’m pretty pooped. Find a new space, set it all up, try it out, pack it up, try again. Sigh. It’sContinue reading “No Longer And Not Yet”

The Obstacle In The Way

The obstacle is the way…. oh, how difficult this can be to hear and much more difficult to breathe into and allow. My eating disorder has been the way for me to meet other souls in their pain, their addictions, their symptoms of deeper issues. Without judgment. And others can feel that deep compassion andContinue reading “The Obstacle In The Way”

Boundaries

I am an empath. This means that I feel others’ stuff. I feel it like it’s my own. I feel their pain; I feel their joy; I feel their anger; I feel their heartache. I feel their stomachache; I feel their anxiety; I feel their panic attack. The space between me and another is hardContinue reading “Boundaries”
