We can only share what we are and feel. Often, what we externalise is simply an extension of what is felt inside. Many a sensitive person has been the unconsciously selected and subliminally targeted by a bully. To me, a bully is not an ogre or a monster, they are someone in deep pain revealing…

As a kid from age five, I went to Catholic schools and our family attended church at all major celebrations and the odd Sunday, here and there. I considered myself a part-time Catholic, I guess, but never felt drawn as I got older to the church or the way spirituality was shared. The titles and…

My family was always loving in its own way, and like most humans we have our fair share of distortions and dysfunctions. While some addictive patterns and destructive behaviours were absent, others were there in bucket loads. Where we come from can reveal our thinking and our ability to live life. Not always, but it…

Living on adrenaline, trying to get something, looking for the edge, making gain; there is a flurry of activity in the world, which is wonderful, yet rushing and stressing often produces toxic by-products.

Each of us comes to find healing in our own way and time. Each of us led different paths, which ultimately take us home, in the deepest sense. Home is a nebulous and amorphous concept to the mind, yet to rest in one’s heart and live from one’s awakened spirit is the home of which…

For years, too many, in fact, I pretended to be something other than myself for fear of who I might be or that what I truly was maybe unlovable. For a long time, I chose to ignore the inklings, stirring, muttering, and whispering of my ever-patient heart for I could not understand how to be…

Throughout my life, I’ve cried, a lot. Sometimes the sadness has felt so deep it was almost like my soul was weeping tears to fill an ocean. I was always a cheerful, bright and bubbly, lively person, yet life situations and certain patterns can feel like burdens. Many a time, I was told not to…
