Today's Favorite

A life can change in a moment. A truck forcing a car off the highway or a deadly diagnosis can shatter the foundation of who we've always known our selves to be. It is only with a shaky faith and the deep, ever present love of the people who care about me that I was able to hold on and even grow through the terrifying time.

Happy

Happiness is a choice even in the hardest of times. I can find at least one thing every day that makes me happy even while holding hands with fear.

New blog!

I've been working on my book and have been quite absent from this blog. I've started a new blog to follow the journey of my writing. You can find me here: www.myworkmyjourney.typepad.com

The book is about what i've learned in my work as a therapist. I'm sharing stories and techniques and my own journey. I envision it being of interest to other therapists or anyone who is on the path of self discovery. Come visit me there!

I've decided I like the idea of "accepting" much better than "surrendering." I accept my feelings, put them out in front of me and keep going. My mind is such a funny thing at times. It is clever and manipulative and even cruel at times. I accept that. There's my mind spinning around again in illusion. I wonder why. Is there a feeling that is hard for me to accept? Whatever... I accept it.

Do you keep a journal?
Do you go deep in your writing?
Do you want to?
Do you use other forms of expression in your journal?

I love it when I can get out of my head, drop down and express from my heart. The most profound insights come in those moments. Often unexpected feelings arise and lead me to questions I hadn't even considered.

I love using a "list of 100" to take me there. I love using it with my clients. It never fails to amaze me. Their words spoken out loud become a poem of sorts... a soul writing that tells me who they are... deep within... the pure, authentic self that has wisdom to share.

I'm working on "Journaling to Self Discovery II" and this technique was the first I included. I can't wait to finish and share it!
