ARTArticleHow Are You Perpetuating Deprivation?Where are you depriving yourself? Take a look at places where you're being cheap, stingy, or witholding the good stuff with yourself. I find that there is a powerful connection between overeating and other ways you are keeping yourself in deprivation and lack. I see so many of my clients (and my women friends) being incredibly generous and nurturing to virtually everyone... but themselves.ARTArticleHow is Life Coaching Useful?Life coaching helps people who need someone to lift their life and make it splendid.

There is no doubt in my mind that making changes to my food in this way impacts my life, energy, mood, mental acuity and relationships- not to mention my own wellness and well being, more than any other choice I can make. I've done it before, and the results are dramatic and worth it.ARTArticleHow to Manage Workplace StressWorkers seem more and more stressed every day. Technology has created expectation of an immediate response 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Short-term thinking and planning based on the focus of quarterly stock reports has increased the sense of importance for every project. We feel everything is an urgent priority needing instant attention. The “doing more with less” mentality has increased the amount of our responsibilities and what is expected of us. This has created a culture of inefficient multi-tasking.r ARTArticleIndividuality is...…in division and duality; in-division-duality: individuality. Although individuality has many redeeming qualities, and is, in fact, one of our major developmental tasks throughout the lifespan, it is as well loaded with problems. Individuality is the source of feeling alone, isolated and estranged. It is the source of conflict, both internal and exte al. Individuation can be a painful process as one separates from close attachments including family, friends, jobs, cherished beliefs and socio-cultural self-perceptions.ARTArticleInfidelity: Is It Selfishness or Survival?I have come across many articles and discussions on infidelity lately and find that there is a consensus. Infidelity, adultery, having an affair, cheating, betrayal... or whatever it is you want to call it, is a growing problem. Why is this? Some say that our culture has contributed to an increased discontent and unhappiness in our lives. We seek pleasure and expect our partners to meet our needs. If they don’t, we blame them for our unhappiness. Marriage becomes more about meeting my needs and making me happy.ARTArticleIntention and Focused Can Heal YouThe passion to heal started for me at an early age. It was an unstoppable force. At age 16, I was a nurse’s aide; at age 19, I was studying to be a psychiatric nurse. But it was the death of my husband that showed me the true power of intention. I believed we would be together forever. But Rick’s life was haunted by a past of abuse and separation. To beat his pain he battled with alcohol and depression. At times it seemed like he was winning.ARTArticleIntroduction to the Poetic Series "Grieving the Death of a Grown Child"“HeartSpun Talk from the Crucible of Experience”© From the life of Ken Matthies - Author, Poet, Real Life Storyteller Every single death that occurs brings loss, grief and bereavement to someone who loved or cared for that individual, and its significance never can or should be discounted in its impact and meaning to those suffering and finding healing from its effects.ARTArticleIs Alcoholics Anonymous Effective?

So here’s my story.ARTArticleLove And BoundariesWe tend to think of love as an all encompassing, overwhelming, positive feeling. We say, “I love you” and think that solves all our conflicts and arguments with our partner. During the initial stages of love, often referred to as an infatuation phase, boundaries are melted and dissolve away. We enter into the realms of the other person’s reality. We merge together. Our life becomes theirs, theirs ours. We lose ourselves. We become one. It’s a wonderful, marvelous feeling. For a while. At some point, we want ourselves back. We begin to erect some boundaries.ARTArticleLove And Despair: Recovering From A Break-UpWhen we are in love, the world is golden and nothing gets us down. When we are out of love, we are desperate to regain those feelings we had while in love. The desperation can be so intense, we find ourselves thinking and doing things we would be ashamed to tell our best friend. The excitement of falling in love, being in love, is not just a thrilling psychological and emotional experience. It is as well a bio-chemical experience, what might be called a "high," and there are resemblances to a chemical addiction, and withdrawal, which become evident when we break-up.ARTArticleMarker Stones Part I - Avoidance - ‘Walking the Edges’“HeartSpun Talk from the Crucible of Experience”© From the life of Ken Matthies - Author, Poet, Real Life Storyteller Every single journey of loss, grief and bereavement is individual and different for each person experiencing it.

But recent studies are showing that happiness can actually be learned. How? Through meditation. Dr. Richard J.
