Understanding Post-Traumatic Growth
Growth, after experiencing trauma, is some of the most important, profound and life altering recovery. It’s something you have likely experienced but didn’t know there’s a term for it. I’ve known it myself and have been encouraging it in all aspects of my work. In conducting training on Trauma Informed Care for professionals, there was […]
The Power Of Being Seen And Heard
Being seen and heard sometimes means getting out of your own circle. Being on vacation was an interesting experience for us and our friends to be seen through new eyes.

Time: “To Everything There Is A Season”
The holidays, with family gathered around often gives us time to pause and reflect on life passages. The Bryds’ song, Turn, Turn, Turn says it well; “To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven,” The lines are taken from Ecclesiastes 3, with music by Pete Seegar.

Before You Count Your Blessings and Give Thanks – Count Yourself First
I realized something important – If you’re going to count your blessings and give thanks – count yourself first.
