December 13 – 19 leads up to those sensed impending changes. What we can look for this week centers on the arrival of New Moon on Wednesday, December 16. This day will see us bounce back from recent doldrums. Why? Because our energy levels and emotional tones tend to rev up in the two weeks between New and Full Moon, and then slowly settle into quietude during Old Moon, which takes place in the two weeks between Full and New. The Old Moon portion of the cycle is therefore frequently a time of decreased motivation, lowered vitality, letting go, turning inward, and sorting through our impressions in a subjective way.   More»

Your goals need to reflect what both of you want – sending out the thought that you want a new job, in a new state, then having that job appear, complete with a move, and “then” springing it on your significant other may just cause a few problems! Place an Arsenio Hall “Hmmmmm” here!   More»

This week we are going to be talking about the Law of Attraction. I first heard about the Law of Attraction from the DVD The Secret. Some people want to put this movie down – I think that it carries a great message, and brings people into our lives that perhaps we would not have crossed paths with otherwise.

This week we are going to be discussing relationships – how to understand them, and how to make them stronger. Relationship clutter is just as viable an entity as the clutter in our living room – we need to take the time to honor what is supportive of us, and release that which is not nurturing, and not supportive.   More»

This week we are going to be discussing the tool of staying in the present. What makes the act of staying in the present a tool of empowerment? When our focus is on the present moment, we free ourselves to see what is there, and to react accordingly. We are not tied to the past, to the things that created the present moment. And we are not projecting ourselves into a future that is not there yet. We are grounded in the reality of the moment.   More»
