How Do You Forgive Yourself?
Dear Meli, I'm having a problem with forgiveness. It's not forgiveness of someone else I'm having a hard time with - it's forgiveness of myself. In my last relationship, I cheated on my partner. Looking back, my ex and I both now acknowledge that our relationship...
How Can I Stop Being a Wallflower?
Dear Meli, I've always been different than other people. I don't like parties. I'm not interested going out all the time. My husband is the exact opposite. If he had his way, we'd be going out every night. I keep thinking I need to push myself to be more social, but...
Is My Big Vision from Ego or Source?
Dear Meli, Since I was a kid, I've seen myself serving in a big way. The vision I saw as a kid was me on a stage, in front of thousands of people. The work I'm doing now seems to be leading in that direction. But I keep worrying that it's my ego that wants my vision...

How Do You Stop Sabotaging Yourself?
Dear Meli, I recently got a promotion at work. That sounds great, right? And it is. But here’s the thing: The day after my promotion, I fell and broke my arm. I’m a landscape architect, and I need my arms to work! I will still be able to fulfill the duties of my...
Can I Do A Gratitude Practice If I’m Not Grateful?
Dear Meli, I have a good friend who's super happy all the time. He suggested that I try doing a daily gratitude practice so that I'm happier too. But I have a hard time with that. I don't often feel grateful. I have a lot of hard things going on in my life - with...
How Do You Get Motivated?
Dear Meli, How do you deal with motivation? Like, being motivated to do things? I seem to have a hard time getting myself to do almost everything, including spiritual practice. I always feel better when I do it, but it usually feels better not to. Or easier. Or...
Can You Be Too Proud of Your Success?
Dear Meli, I have what may be a weird problem. After five years, my business has really started to take off. Needless to say, this is pretty exciting! Except for one thing. I'm starting to get worried that I'm getting a big head. I'm feeling really excited about our...
How Do You Deal with the Other Shoe?
Dear Meli, I'm a good little manifestor! I meditate, I pray, I say affirmations. And guess what?! They work! Lately, I've been having lots and lots of demonstrations. Things that I've wanted for a long time - and have been praying and affirming for a long time - have...
How Can I Stop Bickering With My Spouse?
Dear Meli, My wife and I have been together for over 30 years. She is my favorite person in the world. We have 3 kids together, all grown and out of the house, and now it's just us. Even though I love her, it seems that we have gotten into a pattern of bickering. A...
How Can You Lower Your Stress About Politics?
Dear Meli, As you may know, we elected a new President a few years ago. Ever since then, I have been stressed. I have been stressed that rights are being taken away. I am stressed that hatred and prejudice are being used to unite some people and disenfranchise others....
How Can You Celebrate the Holidays If You Hate Them?
Dear Meli, I hate the holidays. When I was a kid, it was always the most stressful time of the year. My grandparents and uncle would come visit and things got loud. Fights broke out - verbal and physical. I would see shows on TV of happy families during the holidays...
