"Your vision will come only when you can look into your heart. Who looks outside dreams. Who looks inside awakes." -- Carl Jung
Sometimes we need to take stock of where we are in life and acknowledge our success. Humans have a difficult time singing their own praise, and I am no different. However, I can look back at a myriad of accomplishments—published writer in poetry and non-fiction, teacher of writing at colleges, universities and community settings; a career as an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC) that includes 22 years experience; hypnotherapist; mother, grandmother and great-grandmother; wife and now a widow; spiritual seeker; student of shamanism; licensed professional clinical counselor since 1993; community workshop leader. I believe in creativity, beauty, nature’s healing essence, a higher power and our divine connection, and most importantly our ability to handle and prosper through all challenges. It was a challenge to know how to share my knowledge on this website. Naturalist John Muir said "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe." So, although I have listed the areas as separate, they spill over one into another. For example, our values, thoughts and emotions affect how we spend our money as well as how we feel about life in general. Once we uncover and examine these thoughts, we can apply the educational aspects of money management with better success and greater ease.
Another example is the Journaling Workshop, which is a private journey of self discovery. Here I offer the tools to discover hidden emotions and uncover conflicting thoughts that keep you from successful achievement in various areas of your life. A journal helps us find our way. Journals can solve problems, rid us of pain, record memories and much more. There is a little additional bonus here also—writing in a journal may lead you to record a family history for future generations, to begin writing poetry, or to open your creativity in other directions. William Shakespeare said, "of all the knowledge, the wise and good, seek to know themselves." My hope is that I can help you discover the real you that is hidden under the layers of socialization. Finding your true self is were healing begins.
