A Main Contributor To Depression And Anxiety

My husband and I just had a conversation that brought to the forefront how much growth I’ve made since figuring out the depression I battled for 12 years. There was one emotion and feeling that dramatically fed the flames of the depression I fought: FEAR. Fear that my children might make the wrong choices. Fear […]

Everything Changes When I Know Me

My journey to learn how to create a life of mental wellness, physical peace, and spiritual connectedness began in 2010. Now, ten years later, I see how the puzzle has come together…I see how everything has changed because I now know me–better than ever before. I know how to detect limiting beliefs and eradicate them. […]

Are Your Results What You Want?

Do you know someone who continues to have the same type of negative experiences in their life, over and over? Do you know someone who continues to attract the same kind of negative dating partner, relationship after relationship? On the flip side, do you know someone who seems to move effortlessly through life? Someone whose […]

Lessons from the Total Solar Eclipse

I loved witnessing the amazing phenomenon of the solar eclipse today. I got to see it go to 90% from where I live. My husband and our youngest son flew to Smiley Creek, Idaho, to witness it at 100%.  They said it was so spectacular that I should have been there! I was in a […]

Where Your Subconscious Programming Comes From And How To Change It

95% of how a person shows up every day is based on the programming they received by age 7…and it sets in to the subconscious mind.

Marianne Williamson suggests that “surrendering” means to give up the beliefs that do not serve us. This is a profound way to look at what may be feeding chaos in our lives. I […]

When Change Seems To Take Too Long

Last year during June my friend helped me plant some flowers in our rock wall. She took some starts of the soapwort flower from my front yard and planted them right inside the rocks. I diligently watered them. I was very hopeful they would produce beautiful plants this spring. Some of the plants seemed to […]

Today’s Frustration Towards An Innocent Employee

I once again learned something valuable today: keeping frustration buried inside of me eventually spills out onto an innocent person. For nine months my daughter and I have been working to resolve a medical payment dispute with a hospital. Both of us have spent dozens and dozens of hours as we have explained that payments […]

Your Future Depends On It

My husband said something really brilliant this morning: DON’T LET YOUR PAST POISON YOUR FUTURE. Everyone has something from the past–a mistake, a sin, a shortcoming, a trauma, consequences due to someone else’s choice–that influences the present and the future. And everyone is at choice about how the past influences their future. It took me […]

It’s Time To Break Up With Fear

I used to be really afraid of not being able to accomplish everything on my to-do list every day. This fear kept me in a constant state of anxiety because of what I believed about myself if I didn’t accomplish everything: I wasn’t good enough. Discovering this lie by facing it, feeling, hearing it, and […]
