Why People Ignore Red Flags

If you were to google this topic, a lot of relationship scenarios would come up. I’d prefer to generalize so that this can be your guideline for any situation. Plus, men miss red flags too but most of google discusses women and relationships. Let me give you a perfect example. Years ago, my husband and …

We Can’t Predict How We’ll Feel

It’s tempting to think that we know how we’ll feel when a certain thing happens. We imagine the moment. We rehearse it in our heads. We decide in advance how we’ll respond. But honestly, the old saying, “You don’t know til you get there” really is true. We may think we can predict, we may …

Pulling Rank

Have you ever had that happen to you when someone pulls rank? I have and it doesn’t feel good. Most of us have done it at some point, but the real problem is the habitual users — the ones who make it a default strategy.  You’ll know who they are if you know what I …

Perfectionist vs Precisionist

The other day I had an “aha” moment so I thought I would share it with you, especially since I’ve written about perfectionism before. As I’ve revealed, I’m a “good enough” person, not a perfectionist. However, I do care when things aren’t right. I just don’t freak out about them, and I don’t beat myself …

Your Intuition is Your GPS

This past weekend I did a reading for a lady who was getting very clear intuitive signals. They were just so big she wasn’t sure they were real.

Use the Power of Prayer

Do you ever wonder why your prayers aren’t answered? Maybe you used to pray, then turned away from religion only to abandon prayer thinking it doesn’t work. According to Esther Hicks, who channels Abraham in the Law of Attraction, it does work. She says, “Your prayer causes you to focus, and the Law of Attraction …

Reassurance Trap

Ever find yourself asking someone if things will be ok? Asking on occasion is normal. Asking if you’re in a crisis or a tough spot is also normal. Needing it on an ongoing basis, however, isn’t healthy. In fact, it keeps you stuck and in a cycle. The more you get it, the more you …

How to Handle a Strong Personality Person

In my last post we discussed strong personality types. As the beginning of the post stated, having a strong personality can be very beneficial. These are the “get ‘er done” type of people. The leaders. The Type A workaholics who achieve. The downside is these same traits can also come across as bossy, pushy, stubborn …

Beware of Strong Personalities

Do you have someone in your life who is what is colloquially called a “strong personality? You know the type. They’re confident and decisive, know what they want, and a natural leader. They’re great to have around. They’re also a challenge to have around as they are very opinionated and won’t take no for an …
