If someone is telling you their story – their cultural story, their personal story, etc. it’s far better to tell them you just can’t handle hearing it and walk away than to say, “Why can’t you just let the past be the past?” “Move on to the future, focus on the light!”. Statements like that […]
In the movie “A Christmas Story”, Ralphie the main character and narrator is sitting in the bathroom with soap in his mouth for dropping an F-bomb. He’s there gagging on the bar of soap and his mother comes in. She takes the soap out and orders him to bed. He grumbles as he’s walking away […]
What are you addicted to and are you ready to stop? Do you think addiction only means drugs like alcohol and cocaine? When was the last time you told yourself to stop checking your cell phone so often or to stop eating refined sugar or found yourself telling the same tale of woe in your […]
What happens when you work through your Shadow and learn to stand in the space between Dark and Light with awareness and power to choose is a predictable process that you can repeat the rest of your life.
