Embracing all of ourselves

Welcome to my new website!

I’m so happy to have you here and look forward to sharing my thoughts, musings, experiences and challenges here with you.

Working with a diverse array of clients, and being an avid hound for knowledge, I’m always coming up with new and interesting ways of understanding the world and the way in which we are all a part of it.  I’ve recently been getting into Debbie Ford, and am excited to have just purchased her new book (that was co-written with Deepak Chopra and Marianne Williamson, wow) called The Shadow Effect.  Here is an excerpt from the book [incidentally, the first paragraph]:

“The conflict between who we are and who we want to be is at the core of the human struggle. Duality, in fact, lies at the very center of the human experience. Life and death, good and evil, hope and resignation coexist in every person and exert their force in every facet of our lives. If we know courage, it is because we have also experienced fear; if we can recognize honesty, it is because we have encountered deceit. And yet most of us deny or ignore our dualistic nature.”

I love thinking about this, about how it is only in our struggle that we are able to transform ourselves and that we must embrace the dark and the fear in order to let our light fully shine.  Without the dark, we wouldn’t know the light.  So let’s embrace it and love it for what it is — an access point to our higher selves.
