Do Foods We Eat Fill A Void Or Feed Our Body?

Do Foods We Eat Fill A Void Or Feed Our Body?

Food, Healing, Lifestyle, Relationships
The foods we eat, do they fill a void or feed our body? How do we analyze what is good or bad for us? Simply put, how do you feel after eating or drinking certain foods? We all have some foods that upset our stomach and our gut. Were you in a hurry and chomped down the food without even noticing its taste or aroma? Hurry, hurry, hurry. We do that a lot, don't we? Were you calm and able to enjoy the meal? Or were you upset and agitated in the middle of an argument? Our stomach and intestines and more all want a peaceful environment. It's like riding over a bumpy road at high speed. Things get jostled around and sometimes they break. Do you want to be…

Going Through A Soggy Patch

Going Through A Soggy Patch

Lifestyle
I had an unfortune barefoot experience when I stepped on a soggy patch of carpet in our home.

Are You Ready to Change Your Life?

Healing, Lifestyle, Relationships

Often we're ready to say "heck yes!" but when the time comes we pull back. Important moments when we make a choice - to go forward or slip back into familiar patterns we're used to. I see all of the potential of a person in front of me. It's sad to watch some clients shrink back as they get close to breaking through to their next level of confidence and awareness.

Christmas Triggers – Stirred Up by past Emotional Wounds

Christmas Triggers – Stirred Up by past Emotional Wounds

Relationships
They stir up our past emotional wounds, reminding us of times that were better or worse. Along with glad feelings, our sad and mad emotions can suddenly bubble up to the surface, usually not at the best of times. Christmas brings up a variety of feelings for many people. Some experience upsetting emotions which are consistently triggered year after year around the holiday season. As we remember favourite Christmas moments and past events shared, we feel sadness and grief over loved ones who have passed, knowing they won't be with us again this year.  We beat ourselves up with memories of past ugly events and negative circumstances. Especially childhood traumas we couldn't control. Anger and hurt feelings appear around relationships that damaged us.Some people even feel shame about being alone at Christmas.  We have…
