Make Way - For Anything
It’s a New Year with new possibilities. What are we hoping for this year? How can we gain these things that we are hoping for? What needs to change for these things to become realities?…
Make Way - For Gifts
As we reflect on our lived experience in 2024 we can benefit from recognising the gifts that have been given to us and the gifts that we have bestowed on others…
Make Way - For Uncertainty
Humans long for security and certainty in life & in love. We want a sense of control and predicability over our lives and our well being. Yet much of what lies ahead in life is uncertain. We fret and worry, we feel stressed and anxious…
Make Way - For Grace
Honing in on what we are thinking, feeling and doing takes focus and intention. Understanding ourselves and having self compassion is our life’s work. Enter another person and the work is doubled. In relationships there are two very different sets…
Make Way - For Acceptance
We are all human. We all have foibles. We all have idiosyncrasies. We all have thoughts and feelings and behaviours that we unconsciously and consciously, to our detriment or the detriment of others, engage in…
Make Way - For 2024
What is your present view of 2024…Hopeful? Fearful? In limbo? Every year we want the next year to be better. We hope for less loss, less suffering, less hardship, less illness, less bad news…that’s perfectly understandable…
Make Way - For Hope
Was 2023 everything you hoped it would be? What did occur that you were hoping for? What didn’t work out the way you were hoping it would? What did you learn from both of these experiences? What are you hoping for now, today, for Christmas…
Make Way - For Emotion
We are emotional beings and we are living in turbulent times. The inexplicable injustices and violence that we are seeing and hearing about locally, nationally and globally impact us…
Make Way - For Pleasure
Chemistry generally allures us and physical touch seems more desirable in the flirtatious stage of our relationships. At some point, one or the other, or both partners, can lose this allure, this desire (for all kinds of reasons) and their libido may diminish. What are our expectations?…
Make Way - For Connection
When something bothers us and we are upset… It’s natural to react. It’s harder to intentionally pause. It’s difficult to respond from a place of understanding and empathy…
Relationship Reconnect
It is easy to get complacent and to slowly drift apart. We used to kiss before we left the house. We used to kiss when we got home. We used to hug and sit close on the couch. But now…
Begin well. End well. Part 2
Many of us are hoping that 2023 will be a much better year. We all had losses, frustrations, let downs and suffered to varying degrees last year. And for some of us this lingers… The struggle, the search for understanding and meaning given our difficulties is essential…
Begin well. End well. Part 1
Life as we know it has 2 bookends…birth and death. A beginning and an end. And such is life. This is a fact. It doesn’t need to be or to feel depressing but maybe it is or it does?…
Be gentle with yourself
Each one of us has our strengths. Each one of us has ways we can and need to grow and change. Each one of us is perfectly imperfect. We have seasons…
Self awareness
Self awareness is the ability to tune into our thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Knowing what we are thinking…usually something unhelpful or untrue…
Relationships come with attachments
We are wired to love and be loved but life gets in the way and sometimes it all feels too hard. If only we could be more at ease and open with one another. If only we were more consciously aware of our vulnerabilities and our defaults…
Satisfied?
What satisfies us? A delicious, flavoursome meal? A refreshing, cool glass of water? A coffee meet up with a friend?…
Life review
Are we on track and working toward a goal? Can we identify things about last year or past years that we want to change? Let’s consider…reviewing our lives. This is our Life Review!…
