Intuit (and Out of It)

face-a

I've done a lot of slogging lately. In fact, I spent much of 2010 in a fitful slog through horrendous, knee-deep, boot-sucking sludge... with enough bright spots, much needed support, and a relentless inner sense of something to enable me to continue the journey. Finally, when the calendar page turned and a whole brand-new year lay before me, I More →

An Engineer’s Unexpected Path to The Gift of Intuition

energy

It all started with a course in Reiki... or more specifically, after a second course I attended. The courses themselves, were great. It was the side effects that were not what I expected. Reiki, a form of hands-on healing, is pretty cool when you feel it the first time. When you actually feel something vibrating in your hands, or in your body and More →

Lessons in Intuition

reflexology

I cannot tell you how to use your intuition; I'm afraid I'm not that evolved. What I can share with you is my unique experiences of living a life with the understanding that one of the lessons that I believe I am supposed to be learning during this lifetime is how to follow my intuition. That seems like it should be a simple thing to do. There More →

She Is There

My dear grandmother passed away in June, 2004. She died suddenly and I was due to visit her only a week after she passed away – so needless to say, I was crushed. I had dealt with death before, with other grandparents and great-grandparents, etc., but those family members had passed when I was much younger. And “Grams” was the closest person More →

A Love Letter

agift

Long it has been, that I have loved this world and long has it been that I have loved you. We have walked a long way together, yet most of that time, you did not realize I was still with you. I stayed by your side anyway. I whispered in your ear. Sometimes I urged you to wake up from your dreaming. I was lonely in your presence, even though we More →

Step Into Your Shoes: It’s The Year to Reclaim All That You Are

shoes

"Step into your shoes." As I sat here connecting with those who collaborate with us from other realms, I heard simply, "Step into your shoes." Nothing more. I waited, and listened, but that was it. So much for the easy button. At first thought, that statement seemed somewhat cliché, especially from those so other-worldly. Then I thought, "How More →

The Three Unsettling Questions

The Three Unsettling Questions

Some time back I came across three questions: - Who am I? - Why am I? - Where am I going? I thought, "These are good questions, I should find the answers to them. How hard can it be?" Little did I know... To remember to think about them, I inserted them into a screen background on my phone, so that every time I picked-up my phone, I More →

…And It Settled In My Soul

And It Settled In My Soul

I believe, like many of you may believe, as well, that the struggle between heart and mind is ongoing and long. And only those who recognize what is happening can win the battle. But not every battle can be won, nor should they be. Because I believe that it is precisely these struggles that serve as the teachers…the lessons themselves. Also More →

Self-Perception and The Two-Sentence Summary

Self-Perception and The Two-Sentence Summary

I was just sitting here discussing author bios with Yvonne and we both commented on the fact that it's hard to write something about yourself. It's just a sentence or two... how hard can that be? It seems, when asked, "Who are you?" we often hesitate and stutter. "Wait, give me a minute here... I'll think of something..." Why is that? I said to More →

The Barbapapa Syndrome

The Barbapapa Syndrome

Do you know Barbapapa? It's a French children's picture book from the 70's. What's characteristic of Barbapapa, apart from being a pink amoeba-shaped figure, is that he can change his shape. When he is born/hatched out of an egg into the earth, he does not know this though. He arrives to a world where he does not fit it. The family who owns the More →

Peeling Layers

Peeling Layers

After having had a very clear plan of how to build up my company and what the company would be about, I suddenly, one day, just knew it was not the right thing for me to do. It was very clear. What I had been focusing and putting a lot of energy into for four years, was suddenly not what I was supposed to be doing. What I was supposed to do instead More →
