You don’t see those around too much anymore, but in Victorian times they were used to display flowers or wax fruit in a dust-free manner. Something that is under … Continue reading Are You Living Under a Glass Bell?

Image by fabrixx from Pixabay Lately I’ve been listening to an audio book by the late Joseph Murphy, a very interesting and remarkable man. I don’t know that I can accept all of the claims in this book, but there’s no doubt in my mind that he is correct when he talks about the power … Continue reading What Are You Telling Your Subconscious Mind?

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay Lately I’ve been listening to an audio book by Joseph Murphy, called The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. It’s quite fascinating - he makes some very interesting connections between the well-known healing power of the placebo, and the unplumbed depths of our subconscious minds. I’m very appreciative of my … Continue reading Is Envy Holding You Back?

So this weekend was … interesting. I was tired, I was stressed, and I got into sugary things I shouldn’t have. I can definitely feel the result, there’s a reason why I’m not supposed to eat that stuff, and it’s not because I’m on a “diet”. So now what? In the past I would probably … Continue reading What to Do When You’ve Blown It

Just about … Continue reading Cape or Anchor?

Many people get very confused about what a Life Coach does, and how it’s different from therapy. I thought I would take the opportunity to share what I think the main difference is between a therapist and a life coach - especially since my friend Rabbi Amy thought this was a rather good image. Enjoy!

I’ve been listening to Don Miguel Ruiz’s books while running and walking in my neighbourhood. I love The Four Agreements - be impeccable with your word, don’t take anything personally, don’t make assumptions, and always do your best. Those four concepts have changed my life. Lately I’ve been enjoying a book called The Fifth Agreement, which … Continue reading Why You Shouldn’t Believe Your Own Stories

Image by Ri Butov from Pixabay It’s that time of year - the leaves are turning, the air is crisp, and it is almost Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year. 10 days after Rosh HaShanah is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Together, they are known as the High Holy Days. This is a time … Continue reading The Hardest Forgiveness of All
