Life changes. We can count on that! Oftentimes, when we need to make changes in our lives we’re afraid to take the necessary steps needed. Fear of hurting others or fear of the unknown can be the barriers that stop needed change. When it comes to changes in family configurations, blended families, marriage, divorce, family relationships, finances, moving, or any aspect of life that can change, we serve our children best by giving them the highest, healthiest example of how we handle change. I have always held that in mind with my behaviors during changing times. I have two learning and growing human beings watching me and figuring out how to handle big changes through what I model. My ten year old CJ shared with me this morning what he has learned about life after witnessing and experiencing his own level of major life change. Our family has gone through divorce, a major change in home life; up, down and back up again in family finances, and now being a new blended family. I thought his wisdom was simple and profound. I told him if he just remembers those things throughout his life, he will always be okay. He said, “Remind of it when I am 20 years old.” Now, that’s worth remembering…all of it! Smiles,...

A few years ago, during a dark, reflective time in my life, I was feeling betrayed and abandoned. I meditated, prayed, contemplated and embodied (as much as I could) forgiveness. I knew it was the way. I knew it was the only way to really heal and be whole again. I wrote this forgiveness passageway as my prayer, my enquiry, a doorway into understanding more deeply the powerful release of forgiving. I am posting this passage at the start of a new year as a fresh new way to remind us of the power of forgiveness as we embark on the journey of a new year with so much possibility for our dreams and hopes. Powerful miracles of manifestations can take shape in the heart that forgives. The bridge is the passageway. Swaying in the wind… Stability is questioned. Who is my friend? Forgiveness is all there is in the end. How does it begin? The madness of the way… Lost in another day… Who do you know? And which way does the wind blow? I forgive you. I forgive me. What else can it be? Just another day on the passageway…swaying in the wind. Weaving a thread of what will come to be. I forgive you. You forgive me. What else can it be? Today starts the new… What do I weave? I forgive you. I forgive me. What else can it...
