Connection is magic. Connection heals. Connection is the essence of aliveness. It was a shimmering early spring day. I had walked throughout the park and, noticing I was hungry, I began to walk the path towards where my car was parked. I saw an elderly man holding a cane. He walked very slowly, bent over, holding a cane.  I said “hello” to him and he looked up and said “hi, you can help me walk.” He reached out his hand. I took his hand. Internally, I said to myself “slow down, you don’t have to get back to your car quickly, take this time to be with this...

Highly sensitive person joins the gym

I told my husband I was going to the gym I’d just joined online but had not yet visited. I said “I’m not sure when I’ll get home because I don’t expect to do a workout. I just want to look around and see what it’s like.” He looked up at me from his laptop and said “well, why would you go to the gym if you don’t think you’re going to workout? I replied” Because I like to get used to the atmosphere and take my time getting to know a place.” He looked up again with a perplexed look on his face and said “that...

Happiness and connection

Posted by on Feb 5, 2018 in anxiety, Blog, Grief, Highly Sensitive, introversion, Relationship, supervision | 0 comments

We are more connected than we know. We influence one another more than we know… even in our moods and weight. People living together catch one anothers eating habits and moods like we catch colds. Be mindful of who you hang out with and of how your own mood affects others. Good news — in studies on happiness this connection is revealed in a sweet way. We experience far more fulfillment when we spend the same amount of money on others rather than ourselves. Altruism and love are real and good for all. Poverty is stressful and linked to unhappiness but wealth doesn’t make...

Going into inner magic

Posted by on Jan 1, 2018 in anxiety, Blog, Creativity/artists, Featured, Grief, Highly Sensitive, introversion, Relationship, Spiritual, supervision, trauma, Uncategorized | 0 comments

In our culture we emphasize doing over being, we emphasize focusing on the future over the present and the past. We tend to emphasize focusing on our outward life, our goals, our appearance and how other people think of us more then we focus on our inner world.  Our inner world far surpasses our thoughts. Magic will happen there. Some other cultures we can learn from, such as the cultures that practice Buddhism or more indigenous cultures, balance focus on the outside world with reflection and sensing an inner world. Our inner worlds can connect us to ourselves ; that is,  how can we grow,...

The new story

Posted by on Dec 16, 2017 in anxiety, Creativity/artists, Grief, Highly Sensitive, Relationship, Spiritual, supervision, trauma | 0 comments

We are in the midst of transformation. The old western story is one of seperation. The new story, which is actually an ancient well known story for those who have lived close to the earth and one another, is interconnectivity, interdependence. The old story is told by patriarchy and puts status and forceful power over compassion and sharing. The new story brings back the power of the feminine… empathy, nurturance, reverence for all life and includes the teachings of boys to honor emotions and girls to have a voice. We see these stories played out everyday with all the dynamism of...

Precious, Unfathomable

Posted by on Aug 29, 2017 in Creativity/artists, Highly Sensitive, Relationship, Spiritual, trauma | 0 comments

The unfathomable Within Beneath and within the supple, sweet, transitory armor of skin is a  universe unique to each being. What dreams and thoughts and friendships commence in  those cells within our skin and beneath our skin? We overflow our sense of self unknowingly as we walk and talk each day. Each of us a “one” created of many. Tiny beings swirl and have their lives within us, within our lives We are a cosmos, a creature, a multitude I am discouraged by humanity sometimes… in the dire news, or when I drive and red road rage seeps in through my windows …. yet each human, each entity is...
