There we are, 23 years ago. Me holding this little squish. This week they graduate from Columbia University. I could write an entire book about how parenting the Junior Gormans has transformed me into the best version of myself, and maybe someday I will, but for now, let’s just leave it with this: the gratitude… Read more »
Friends, you’ve got to stop calling your intuition names. If you always introduced me to people as “my weird friend Susan”, or constantly referred to me as “bizarre”, or “freaky”, I would probably avoid you too. But that’s exactly how we talk with each other about our intuitive experiences. Labeling them this way discredits them… Read more »
Last week we talked about how the Screamies aren’t good for your intuition. Today we’re going to talk about supporting your intuition, especially during times when you are stressed. Let’s say you have gotten really good at identifying when you are afraid. You’ve begun to understand that when we’re in fear, our intuition is completely non-functional, meaning… Read more »
I know how scary it all feels right now We’re at Level Turbulent, right? Or are we? Like, how bad is it going to get? Wait, don’t tell me. I don’t want to know. Occasionally these days, folks have the courage to say some version of this to me, but I’m assuming most of y’all just… Read more »
It’s Definitely Spring (Although damn if it’s not taking its time about it! ) It’s still pretty chilly here in Southern Maine. We were traveling in Europe at the beginning of the month, and while I’m gathering my thoughts about it, I should point out that it’s much easier to write/post on le weekend in… Read more »
Hands down, the most common question I get about intuition is how to know if it’s just fear talking. My clients are frequently confused about whether they can really trust their intuition because they don’t know if it’s real. They confuse fear (and often, wishful thinking) for the voice of their intuition. Living in a… Read more »
I started Spiritual Resilience Sundays so I could do my bit, intuitively speaking. There are plenty of amazing writers and thinkers helping to conceptualize this moment in our history, as well as many, many others who point toward (or shout) the calls to action that are available to us. It is truly inspiring. I share my… Read more »
Spring is a celebration of light out of darkness. Even though the first few days after Daylight Savings Time can feel like state sponsored jet lag, that extra hour of light in the evening works like magic. Well, on me anyway. I’m not quite sure what the Savings part is actually saving, but I surmise… Read more »
We wanted crow friends so badly. For each of the past three years, a different family of crows has taken up residence in the woods behind our house. They arrive in late summer and stay until spring, then they move on. We always take it personally when they go. I’m embarrassed about how badly I… Read more »
Last fall I bought a used Peloton. They are a lot easier to come by these days, and for all the reasons why, I am grateful: we are not in lockdown, we (currently) have access to vaccines and masks, body bags are not being loaded into freezers due to lack of morgue space. I bought… Read more »
