Can You Love Her, and Not Her Potential

Her, him, they, your own damn self – it doesn’t really matter who.   If you, like me have the blessing and curse of seeing the potential in others, then you may also fall into the trap of falling in love with who they could be rather than who they really are.   It’s ubiquitous…

Living The Tower

Recently I’ve been writing a lot about The Tower card.   That’s because a few weeks ago I was consecutively pulling that card over and over again. I knew in my bones that things would fall apart once more. I thought today I would do a journal style entry of the real time process of…

The Subtleties of Self Protection

I wanted to share about a dream I had recently.   I was reconnecting with an old and very dear friend of mine. As we hugged, I could sense the layers upon layers of hardness that her body, and her being had developed around her. She was struggling with relationship, with deeper connection, with intimacy….

How I Deal With My Own Programming

I want to peel back the curtains and reveal something to you today, dear reader.   These are the conversations I have with myself on a daily, hourly, moment to moment basis.   I want to pop open the lid so you can see inside. Not because I’ve found some kind of revolutionary way of…

Tantrums and Honest Communication

I love watching a good tantrum.   The younger the child, the more authentic (we tend to start to use our tantrums to manipulate our parents as we get older). There is something so pure about not yet knowing that you don’t have permission from society to fully express yourself, in the moment.   Am…

The Gift of Silence

Lately I’ve been called to talk about nervous system range and capacity.   The other day I even started a video series on the topic.   But today I wanted to write about something that’s often called nervous system “load”. It’s also often called “stress” or “stressors”. Now, I think it’s important to distinguish and understand…
