On the Path of Energetic Clutter Clearing

July 8, 2011

I’ve made July and August months of housekeeping and clearing out of physical and, most importantly, energetic clutter. If you are anything like me, when “clearing out” starts to happen, things tend to get messier than before.   In the past, it has been a slippery slope during the middle messy part.  If I got distracted [...]

Life Can Hurt. Play Can Heal.

May 27, 2011

Last week, I wrote about giving myself permission to play. I had a few people ask how I could be talking about play when there is so much work to do to clean up the storm damage at home and other places around the country. Honestly, I believe that the more earth shattering events there [...]
