Keeping the loving energy flowing beyond Valentines Day

By |2017-07-13T17:43:57-04:00February 14th, 2011|Guest Blogggers & Interviews, Love Will Keep Us Alive|2 Comments

By Debbie Must Valentines Day is a reminder to us all that we need to honor the loving connection that we have with our spouse. Celebrating this occasion is one sure way of keeping our love and passion alive. For the connection to remain strong all year long, we need to keep our marital flame burning. This may seem a daunting task in these busy times, yet there are couples who manage to do just that. Successful couples equally commit to ensuring that their marriage thrives rather than just survives and together they transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. A glowing example of a strong connection shines in the relationship between my friends John and Nathalie. Together, they lead a program called The Marriage Course. Their efforts help to equip couples with the tools and skills needed to build a strong and healthy marriage that will last a lifetime. Fortunately, they were willing to share their recipe for success with us, a gift that can help each of us deepen the connection to our own spouse.

Strengthening the Human Heart through Healing Hands

They walk among us. Through their loving work, they help to heal the world. Jean Houston calls them “Social Artists”, referring to those who bring focus, passion, skill, tireless dedication and fresh vision to the social arena. Christian Gagne is a social artist, but he is better known in his own circles as a medical doctor. I am privileged to call him a friend. I personally witnessed the compassion and kindness that he infuses into his practice when he sat next to me, providing comfort as my husband (and his friend) passed away. I watched his healing hands gently touch my husband and tend to his comfort in his remaining hours of life. Those same hands have healed thousands and have welcomed countless newborns into the world. It seemed appropriate to me that he would volunteer to work with an organization called, Team Canada Healing Hands (tchh.org).

Watching Groundhog Day, Again

By |2017-07-13T17:43:57-04:00February 1st, 2011|Crisis, Loss and Renewal, Love Will Keep Us Alive|6 Comments

Watching the movie Groundhog Day again, I was surprised to realize it was filled with metaphors about life, love and conscious evolution. The motivation and reward for the main character's conscious awakening was love. Often romantic love, parental or other love bonds can help propel the soul to evolve. I experienced this in my own life with my husband, Bob, who died over a year ago.

Overcoming Adversity – Survival of the Spirit

By |2017-07-13T17:43:57-04:00January 31st, 2011|Crisis, Loss and Renewal, Guest Blogggers & Interviews|3 Comments

History has proven time and time again that the resilient nature of the human spirit will ultimately triumph when faced with adversity. Although challenges present themselves in a variety of ways, few of us are untouched by adversity. When we find ourselves in difficult times we must refrain from seeing ourselves as the Captain of a sinking ship but rather at the helm of a vessel that is riding a wave. The waters will be calm again for such is the natural ebb and flow of life.

Emergency or Emergence – You decide

By |2017-07-13T17:43:58-04:00January 14th, 2011|Mind, Body & Spirit, Shifting Perspectives|1 Comment

We are living in a time of great change and awakening in the western world. We have had incredible advances in technology, medicine and in our fundamental thinking. We have become more tolerant, enlightened and financially secure. Yet we are far more stressed and uncertain of our future than past generations. We fear financial ruin and loss even though we are surrounded by abundance. We seek out negative news to support the view of the reality that we have created for ourselves.

Most small and medium-sized business owners indicate an interest in improving their environmental practices but many do not have the knowledge or resources to begin the process. While there might be a will to become a better steward of the environment, there is a common misperception that it takes substantial green to become green. In fact, businesses can significantly save money by reducing their energy consumption.
