This is a lesson that is sometimes hard to remember in the moment. Often, when obstacles occur our natural reaction is to become upset, to feel like the victim, to wonder “why me” (or at least that’s my natural reaction). The obstacle in the path becomes your path, even if only momentarily. The lessons are in the obstacles. The growing is in the obstacles. We learn more from our failures, adversities, and challenges than we do from the things that just go smoothly. Happy Weekend!
Read MoreCaterpillars have a season of isolation if they’re lucky. It’s during that time that they transform into butterflies. We too can use our alone time, our solitude, or isolation as opportunities for transformation. It is when we’re alone that we truly have the time to reflect, plan and create. It can be hard to be alone, but transformation often comes out of hardships. Happy Weekend.
Read MoreThank goodness the trees don’t have human consciousness, or they would go through a variety of fears, and insecurities, as they lost their leaves. Nature can be an amazing teacher. All of nature goes through change and transformation. Naturally there are periods of darkness in nature, where night literally brings darkness, or winter promotes hibernation. However, because nature doesn’t have
Read MoreThings truly are best when they’re shared. The meaningful experiences and joys in life would not be as meaningful if we had nobody to share them with. I would argue that if we lived in total isolation, nothing would be meaningful. The shared experiences we have with others is what gives our life meaning. Life is about creating and living experiences that are worth sharing. Happy Weekend!
Read MoreMake your heart the most beautiful thing about you. Be kind. Spread love. Choose how you want to react. Our hearts and our minds are just about the only things we can control. We can control our reactions. We can control how we treat people and whether we spread joy or sorrow. Make your heart the most beautiful thing about you. Happy Weekend!
Read MoreThis quote couldn’t be more true. We need balance always in life. We need movement and we need stillness and each serves its purpose. Health is often about maintaining balance in the body, mind and spirit, and thus it makes sense that the methods we’d use to bring about health would also be based on balance. Too often I work with patients who have fallen too far in either direction. Some have embraced
Read MoreFear is not the enemy. Fear is a natural part of life, something that will always be with us, but when we change our behavior because of fear, fear grows. Don’t let fear stop you from doing what you’re meant to do, or from what you know to be right. Bravery wouldn’t exist without fear. Happy Weekend!

Read MoreI can’t tell you how many times things have happened and I wondered “why me”. I have all to often, presumed to know the nature of events, believing they were a negative in my life, only to later realize those events cleared the path for something wonderful to happen. Not all storms come to disrupt your life, even though it can sometimes feel that way. Sometimes storms come to clear the path, making way for
Read MoreWhat better time than the holidays to be reminded that the most beautiful things in life aren’t things. We don’t need to place pressure on ourselves to buy one another beautiful things. We just need to create beautiful moments, and feelings, and smiles, and laughter. How lovely and simple is that? Happy Weekend!
