For years I’ve known about Louise Hay. My shrink introduced me to her affirmation cards and often referred to her in our sessions. She has passed now but her legacy continues. I recently listened to one of her podcasts. She talked about the power of self-love. She listed ten things that can help you toContinue reading “Stop Criticizing Yourself”

The Bed
I was listening to a podcast on empowering women recently. As this public figure told her story I felt compassion for her and much of it resonated with me. However, when she got to a certain part I started to shut her down and started feeling not good about what she was saying. She startedContinue reading “The Bed”
Tools for Stress, Fear, & Resentment
I have finished my 3rd book for the year, The Power of Awakening; Mindfulness Practices and Spiritual Tools to Transform Your Life by Dr. Wayne Dyer.

I used this quote when I blogged about giving others grace. I want to use it again to illustrate another point. When we categorize people by saying, they are nice or they are mean, we are categorizing and putting them in our box. We expect them to stay in that box.

Trying to find the pieces, the colors that coordinate, all the wonderful things that bring it to life including working on it as a team. I’m finding that life is like a jigsaw puzzle. There are thousandsContinue reading “The Jigsaw Puzzle”
