How much do you trust yourself? It’s a serious question. Take a moment, and ask yourself the question. How is your self-trust? Really examine all the areas of your life. And allow yourself to be honest in your response.
How much do you trust yourself to keep commitments to others – and even more importantly, to […]
How often have you found yourself stuck in a place of discomfort? A discussion, an argument, a viewpoint? Now, forgive me if I’m in the zone of teaching my granny to suck eggs, but I’m going to write this anyway – sometimes a slight difference in where we stand, literally and metaphorically, can have an […]
Did you ever get that ‘YOU can’t do this!’ voice in your head? The voice of your Inner Parrot, squawking all sorts of undermining blech at you?
Yep, that one that makes you feel less than you are, small and useless? The one with the ughy messages?

Our lives are constantly changing. In our own world – relationships, health, work, finances, plans. Externally we need only consider politics, world happenings, climate.

Finish Unfinished Business
