I don't mean happiness at the expense of others, but I also don't mean trying to be happy while making everyone else happy.

In my experience, true happiness comes from following the vision that we're all given by Spirit. The "not easy" part is being open enough to see and hear what that vision IS. It can get so confusing for me with all the narrative in my head telling me I need to do and be a thousand other things. To hear the voice, for real, I must get very very QUIET. How? Meditation, of course.

I have a new book coming....really. And in it I write about how I've moved to a happier life, and how maybe, just maybe, that would work for you too. Stay tuned. The book designer is busily creating cover art and making the writing pretty and readable. Hoping to be complete by Summer Solstice.(less)

Riding the Dragon: Needs and Attachment in Non-Monogamy

March 14, 2024

I’ve been ruminating on this topic for the last month, after working with several couples and individuals in my practice who are opening into polyamory and non-monogamy in a bigger way than ever before — and are surprised when it brings up so many emotional triggers. 

My own lived experience comes up as I sit with my client, times in the past when my whole body shook and the tears
