Do You Know How You Came to Be Who You Are?
To reinvent your womanspace you will have to begin to re-create your perception of yourself and the perceptions you hold of your experiences—particularly those perceptions that you find to be troublesome and painful. Reinvention involves throwing away thoughts and ideas that are no longer (and maybe never were) useful to you, and inviting yourself to think differently. You will have to apply a healing balm of Divine Wisdom to your emotional wounds. You will have to hold and rock the baby-girl inside you, who needed to be rocked way back...
read moreHow will you cross the bridges that you’ve imagined?
Have you realized, yet, that the path to your High Places is not accessible from the road of troubled low-beliefs? Imagine walking on the road next to a bridge . . . and just as the bridge begins to ascend and stretch across the body of water, you reach the shoreline and you have to stop. And all you can do is look up and wonder what it would be like to cross that bridge. From where you are, you can only imagine what it would be like to stand, suspended, over this water. And, you can only imagine what might lie at the other end of this...
read moreWhat do you really feel?
One of our most important responsibilities to one another, and to ourselves, is to own and communicate our own truths. Saying what’s on our minds as purely and simply as possible, without being unduly attached to the outcome, or to the drama—taking the initiative to have a conversation, and being willing to open ourselves to hear what others need to say to us—is a precious offering that creates a table of clarity and integrity for our relationships to open and expand upon. Some of us have become more comfortable sitting in the victim...
read moreHow do you handle your true feelings?
Our relationships and our personal power are so closely related that they are often, imperceptibly, intertwined. Just looking at the way we approach our relationships with others can make us aware of innumerable aspects of our relationship with Self. For instance, in your major relationship, are there things you need to say, but are reluctant to share because you’re trying to spare someone’s feelings? Have you been trying to avoid a particular response or reaction from someone? Do you fear that speaking the truth in a certain...
read moreWhy aren’t you feeling your power?
In truth, we can only be moved to give away our power when we are, secretly, afraid to use it ourselves—afraid of the stark responsibility that comes with being power-toting adults. Here are just some of the self-sabotaging ways we give away power we will definitely need if we’re trying to move our lives out of Trouble: We assume a responsibility, that really doesn’t belong to us, for some aspect of another person’s well-being . . . thus putting our own agendas on hold. We give in, conceding our right to do the things we want...
read moreIs there a Giant in your pocket?
Is there a person, a habit, a problem, or maybe a situation in your life, that seems bigger than you? Stronger than you? More powerful than you? Overwhelming to you? Do you really believe that it’s your lot in life to have a giant sitting on you, settling itself right dead center in your life . . . controlling you and your world with fear? And just what would you do with your life if you were free of this giant? Would you, maybe, go and find another giant to take its place? Is having this giant in your life actually serving you in some,...

Think back to your girlhood… What kind of girl were you? What did you like to do? What did you hate to do? Take this time to become re-acquainted with the little girl you once were (who still lives inside you). Why? Because she represents your most authentic Self. She remembers where you’ve been emotionally. She knows who you really are. She is the dreamer in you. And, she i s your most potential Self . . . As a girl did you have many friends, or usually just one friend? Were you a leader, or a...

Sometimes when something is wrong in our life, there is no other way to make our crooked places straight than to start walking right into the middle of the mess. Stop focusing on all the things that went wrong before now and start looking forward . . . walking forward . . . toward the way that we want things to be. How often do we stop ourselves from taking steps in the direction of our good because we have this image in our minds of what people walking toward their good look like? Are you stopping yourself from taking a step forward because...
read moreArise from the depths of yourself . . .
At times life can become such an unhappy place to be that we can’t bear up anymore. A weary brand of sadness attaches itself to our being. We feel depressed. Forced down hard by every little thing we’ve been trying to handle, trying to do right, trying, trying, trying to control. Depression makes us realize that our life must be re-balanced if we are to ever be glad to be alive again. And today is the day we have to begin because depression says to us that there is no more time. That we are, right now, in danger of imploding, falling down...
read moreAre you going in the same direction as your journey-partner?
If you are unequally yoked with someone close to you, you will know it. The more you begin to consider a High Places life as a viable option, the more you will become aware of the true intentions of your partner, and of the vast amount of energy it takes to keep walking at crossed-purposes with someone close to you. Before too long the rope that ties the two of you together will probably start to feel like a noose. Many of our relationships in Trouble are like this— unbalanced, draining, and restrictive. While occasional bouts of...
