Fall...

Hello All!
The Labor Day weekend is come and gone and with it the summertime! Although the seasonal shift here in Florida is minimal, one can still feel a subtle change...perhaps in the state of mind more than in the weather. Summer is over and most have already shifted gears. Academic year well under way and important projects on the "to do" list are in motion! I miss the seasonal changes. When I lived in NYC, it was great looking forward to activities associated with the seasons.... Not sure I could take the intense cold anymore though...

It think life can be seen as seasonal as well...  The spring of life is filled with motivation and desire to make the best of it. We are determined and unstoppable! It is a playful time and time for planting the seeds of new ideas and desired accomplishments. The summer of life can be warm and filled with hope and renewal. The fall of life is when one harvests the seeds and reaps what one has sowed.   And the winter of life may feel contemplative and filled with satisfaction! And of course, the other version can be true as well... 

Remember that the seasons can be unpredictable and bring with them storms, periods of drought and destructive floods!! And in its own way, nature has the innate ability to recover. Life's seasons are no different. And in those times it is important to believe in your own capacity to get through the challenging times. To seek support and to love yourself the most!! It is after all, about choices... and it all depends on our perspective and our ability to manage our way through life's seasons...

Enjoy the Fall season wherever you are!!! 
Peace, Light, and Well-being!

What's in it for ME? Let it go....

Oh how time flies....It's been almost 2 years since may last post.  Life is what happens when you are busy making plans... :) As I reviewed the last post, I concluded that this time passed has served to help me galvanize my thoughts and feelings about authenticity and awakening during this period in my life... Now in my late 50's, I find that my priorities have changed and that living authentically is more important than ever! Watching my grandchildren grow begs the question.. what kind of a world will these little ones inherit?  And here we are ... in 2016! In my day to day work  I assist people in the impoverished segment of our community with serious medical and mental health issues trying to navigate a complex health care system.  Each day brings with it, unique challenges for the people I serve and for myself as a professional. That being said, it has become clear to me over time within the myriad of positions that I have had in the helping profession,.. that until we

On Being Authentic....

Image
Hello all, It's been a while... the month of May is hours away.  I hope April was good to you! Certainly was to me as the family welcomed a new addition... a girl... Mya Julia to the world! My second grandchild! She is healthy and absolutely adorable, as you can see! I was thinking about authenticity... and the importance of being true to oneself and how we each have to figure it out what that means for us.  We are influenced by so many things.. environment, people, technology, location, society... a myriad of stimuli and information that pours into our psyche. It is up to us to learn  and decipher to find what we are truly comfortable with.... to live authentically! I believe it can take some longer than others to find this place of being authentic... As we move through developmental levels, we find that some things become more important than others and continue to peel away at the onion.  Peeling this onion is an ongoing journey, but the aha moments and the wonder of self

50 Shades...of Truth!

Image
You may have heard the adage "the truth will set you free". I like Marianne Williamson's addition of  "but first it will piss you off"! Ain't that the "truth"... or is it?  I wanted to expand just a little on the subject only because there is so much going on in the world and possibly in one's own backyard that stopping to reflect on how we even feel about "truth" is in order.   There are scientifically proven truths that are accepted such as the earth being round and revolving around the sun.... And still, several of these established truths are debated... take global warming for example...Of course, healthy debate feeds the appetite for knowledge, change, improvement, and growth!! After all, had the theory of the earth being flat or the sun revolving around the earth had not been challenged back in the day...!? Note that I used the word " healthy "....So it seems pretty amazing how truth can be such a relative
