Depression Is Not My Friend
Let’s be real, depression is not anyone’s friend. Does anyone think depression is their pal? There’s that whole tortured artist brouhaha about needing drugs/mental illness/angst in order to create aaaaaart. Yeah. I call BS on that. Indeed, the main Source needed to...
The Danger of Pursuing Your Passion
Pursuing your passion is always a good thing, right? “Follow your bliss.” “Do what you love, the money will follow.” “Shoo be doo be doo wap.” (Hey, passion comes in all forms.) But are there any downsides? Does the decision to pursue your passion automatically result...
Hey Women! We Can Stop Doing This Now!
It’s an exciting/scary/amazing time to be a woman. Women are coming forward and telling their stories. And being believed! What a concept. There’s still a long way to go. And there are still lots of disparities depending on where you live, the color of your skin, and...
#Resistance: What Is Mine to Do?
I’ve been putting off writing this post for a long time. I guess you could say I’ve been resisting it. Ha. Ever since a certain someone moved to our nation’s capital, I have felt a pull away from my life as it was before November 9th, 2016. Does this pull have a...
Enneagram Animals
A while back, I did a post about the Enneagram. I’ve been studying the Enneagram for years, and I love it. It’s a fascinating personality-typing system that also helps with spiritual growth. The Enneagram is great way to find out what makes you tick. And what makes...
Five Steps to Becoming a Boundary Master
Setting boundaries is both really hard and really easy. If you’re not used to setting boundaries, they’re really hard. You try to set them, then feel guilty, then change your mind, then unset them. Which only makes it even harder to set them next time. On the other...
My Guru Has a Tail, Episode 13: The Guru’s Guru
Those of you who have been following the “My Guru Has a Tail” series know that there have been not one, but two, Gurus. First there was Guru Lucy. And then there was Guru Max. What you don’t know is that, like with most Regime changes, the transition didn’t happen...
Wild, Wild Gurus
Wow. I just finished watching the Netflix series “Wild Wild County,” about the crazy times of Bagwan Shree Rajneesh and his followers in Oregon in the 1980s. While the documentary is not for everyone (it includes murderous plots and writhing naked “meditation”...
Swearing as a Spiritual Practice
“Holy people don’t swear.” “Swearing pollutes your consciousness.” “If you swear, you’re very bad. And no one likes you. And you probably smell.” Okay, that last one was a stretch, but you get the idea. Swearing and spirituality are generally seen as enemies. Indeed,...
What to Do About the Low-Vibe Peeps in Your Life
We all have them. No matter what vibration we’re normally groovin’ on, we all have people in our lives who are groovin’ – or not really groovin’ at all – on a much lower vibe. We also may be fortunate enough to have people in our lives who are groovin’ on a way higher...
Who’s in Charge of Your Life? Your Self or Your Elf?
A while back, I wrote a post about the elf self. The elf self is a kinder, gentler name for the ego. It’s the part of us that’s cut off from our Higher Self. Or thinks it’s cut off from our Higher Self. Self – S(pirit) = elf. Get it?! Viewing the ego as an elf is...
The Alternative to Gratitude
Gratitude is big these days. Oprah’s crazy about it. Scientific studies are being done about it. Everywhere you turn, someone is extolling the virtues of having a gratitude practice – including me! But there’s an alternative practice to gratitude, one that no one ever...
