    Yes Dear

    When I work with clients one of the most frequent subjects I get asked about is relationships. “When will I find one? Where is my soulmate? What do I need to do to help my current relationship? Should I stay in my current situation or find something better? Will I always be alone?” This aspect of life often doesn’t match our ideal and it’s frequently packed with at least some challenge. Most relationships fall somewhere between almost perfect or on the other end seriously toxic. I once had a female client who was uncomfortable and embarrassed about being controlled by her possessive, dominating boyfriend. We discussed possible solutions and she decided it might help if he came to see me. Aside from being in denial about whether he was controlling at all, and he really was, he tried to manipulate and control me during our session. It was not a successful attempt and he left likely thinking, and telling her “I was not qualified. There is unquestionably a need to prioritize healthy compromise in any relationship..."It is important to recognize..."

    Essence Contact:

    “...Experiencing essence contact happens when we are not actually trying to! It often feels like fully plugging into the present moment. It can feel like a circuit that completes or a light has come on and you just simply “get it.” When this occurs it moves us immediately to the positive poles of our over-leaves and our astrological wiring. Fear is not part of the experience and we may even temporarily move into what is know as the higher centers. It is a brief release from Maya or false personality. Time can seem elongated or even become meaningless. Often the magnitude of essence contact, however long or brief, afterwards can feel almost that we are in a positive way, burned clean or back on track...”

    "...achievement of essence contact is unique for everyone. A mother may feel essence contact during childbirth or when she holds her child for the first time. A father may feel essence contact while walking his daughter down the aisle at a wedding or with the father, daughter first dance. A fireman may feel it while rescuing someone..."

    Todays Show: What “I Use” means to assist us in both practical and spiritual wisdom.

    “...I have to remind myself to remember the many benefits of focusing on gratitude and how many things I have to be grateful for. While I still get frustrated, it seems my fifties self versus the me of my forties tends to be far less irritable. The practical details of life like cars, appliances, and many of the things in life that inevitably break down, and r often ridiculously expensive to repair, have not changed; things wear out and break. The details of marketing connected w having my own business, r still at times very time-consuming.  What fortunately shifted in my fifties was how I look at all of these things. I now truly understand what the positive pole of Capricorn actually means. “I USE” is understanding the wisdom of how problems can propel us toward solutions or make us stronger versus irritation and complaining, or going to the extremes of feeling like a martyr...”

    Nice to meet you again for the first time

    “...What is actually happening when we meet brand new people that are new in one way but are also oddly familiar or just seem to fit perfectly at the time? There are a number of ways to look at this. One is karmic bonds. When you begin to understand that we do indeed reincarnate and have many lifetimes as we evolve, learn, and grow, we are bound to have souls we have been with before. They may be in different bodies, and in different times and places, yet the pull or essence is familiar...”

    “...I saw this instant pull of “meant to be friends” in the different restaurants I worked at in my late teens, twenties and my early thirties.The process, while always different, still had a thread of noticeable patterning. It felt like you were attempting to rapidly fill each other in on your lives so far. Often you would find similarities or even extreme disparities that you were equally excited by. Whether the affinity was just for a few weeks, months, or even years, they were often instant glue...”
