The Power Of Giving And Receiving

Yesterday, I read something I had never thought about, but which it makes perfect sense: when we do something good for someone else we experience the feeling ourselves. That is why giving is receiving. Our brain, heart, soul, experience the doing and the result without discriminating who the ultimate receptor is. Think about it: if a [...]

Learning To Change Our Response System

I’m a control freak. Actually, to be exact, what I believe is that if I don’t do it, it won’t get done. And so, when things matter to me my tendency is to stay obsessively on top of them. Now, I know that doesn’t make way to harmonious relationships. When I obsess I make others retreat. [...]

The Secret To A Successful Relationship

I don’t know if it was because my late husband Chris and I had been unhappily married before, but we never took each other for granted. Three months before Chris passed away – when so much has already been taken from him – he looked at me and said: “We are one of the happiest [...]

All About Bliss

I was thinking of what to write today when I came across the below post on bliss. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines bliss as “complete happiness.” While it is not a bad definition, in my mind, it misses out on the major ingredient; complete peace. I remember two instances in my life where I have felt bliss. [...]

Let Go Of Expectations

“I mean, like most guys, you carry around this girl in your head, who is exactly who you want her to be. The person you think you will love the most. And every girl you are with gets measured against this girl in your head.” ― Rachel Cohn, Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares And because [...]

Drop The “Should” List

I am thinking about how much stress and turmoil is actually self-created. I’m specifically thinking about the terrain between that which we want and that which we think we SHOULD have. As we go through life we start to adopt/take on a list of things that society has created as the bible to live by. But, [...]

Bucket List For Baby With Fatal Illness

(CNN) — Mike and Laura Canahuati’s blog about their nearly 6-month-old daughter, who is expected to die by age 2 because of a genetic disorder, began as an efficient way to keep family and close friends in touch about baby Avery’s health. But when Mike Canahuati came upon the idea of writing [...]

How To Feel Centered In the Eye Of The Storm

Even though we know if we settle down, breathe and center ourselves that our outlook on life will change, we are often so ramped up that we are not able to do it. Instead we feel like we are being swept up by life or at best trying not to trip while we’re running our [...]

Get Rid Of Your “Should” List

Here’s my confession: “I have a terrible case of SHOULD syndrome”. In my mind I should be kinder, wiser, fitter, successful, happier etc. The truth is all these “shoulds” keep me from appreciating who I am and what I have accomplished in my life. It also keeps me from opening my life up to possibilities [...]

Learn How To Tap Into Your Instincts

Have you ever been thinking about a friend when the phone rings? “I was just thinking about you! You exclaim. But, is it a coincidence or were the two of you connected beyond the five senses? There is much that goes on in our lives that are beyond what we see, smell, taste, hear and touch. [...]
