My 'Finding Inspiration' series was written out of a need that comes up in my practice, most often in Spring and Fall.

When we schedule too much in our lives trying to meet our obligations, we only end up draining our energy.



We all encounter obligations in life, from spending time with family and friends to being present at important functions in the lives of the people who form our community. Many times, the obligations are actually fun and fulfilling, and we want to be there. At the same time, we all sometimes experience resistance to meeting these obligations, especially when they pile up all at…

In order to get what we want in life, we have to be willing to receive it when it appears, and in order to do that we have to be open. Often we go through life with defenses we developed early on in order to protect ourselves. These defenses act as barriers, walls we needed at one time to feel safe, but that now serve to shut out desired influences, like…

Good Morning!

Spring is the time of creativity! With the resurgence of warmer weather, more light and a breath of newness, creativity is stimulation.



Living is an act of creativity. Not just being an artist, writer, painter but the sheer act of living is a creative force that we often do not acknowledge. Living consciously and with awareness is an act of even deeper creativity. On many levels, creativity is an inner
