  • What’s your hidden agenda?

    Can there be a hidden agenda when you find yourself; sitting, standing or ‘talking’ with a human that can barely lift their head? Now, all eyes are down, phone in hand, zombie like gaze induced. We know at once, what’s important to this human. Its status, its social standing, its virtual life. While eating, visiting, Read more

  • Moody Monday

    It’s a grey moody Monday here in my neck of the world. Hard to be motivated when the sun decided to take the day off or the clouds are working over time, seemingly promised time and a half if they show up and cover the sun all the dang day. Great job clouds! In a Read more

They don’t quite get what the Read more

  • Judge much

    Why are people still judging other people? Why aren’t we first learning to understand, be truly informed, exercising a non judgmental non reactionary way of being? Educated action rather than idiotic reaction! It is often hard to understand other people. Who are they, where do they come, why do they believe the way they do? Read more

  • Let’s talk about empowerment, again and again

    So much of what I deal with in my work is empowering a person. I do not empower a person through talk I empower them to see and activate their own power through wisdom. What good does it do me for you to feel powerful in front of me if when you get to where Read more
