Waiting

I finished writing my first novel recently. This is a big accomplishment because after I started it and wrote the first 130 pages, it sat in my computer, unfinished, for a year and a half. I just didn’t have time or creative energy to get back to it, until the end of this summer. Now […]

So Much to Learn, Where to Turn?

I’ve been thinking lately of all the things I want to learn to help myself grow. There’s a lot. And it feels a little overwhelming, actually, knowing there are so many choices and I only have a little bit of time these days to spend on reading. I’m reading Ekhart Tolle’s A New Earth which […]

Protecting Your Energy

I learned something, (applause, please!) and when I learn something, the first thing I want to do is to share it. (It is the teacher in me that drives me!) I am hoping that this lesson is something that will help someone avoid what happened to me. I’m relatively new to energy work, even though […]

The Lessons of the Summer

After a couple very slow weeks, things have started happening. I’m happy to welcome some new students – Kundalini Reiki students and Energy Healing Mentoring Program students. I also did some searching for places to teach Reiki in my local area and came up with a few possibilities, which I pursued. There have been some […]

Starwood

Last weekend, my hubby and our 7 and 5 year olds and I went camping at the Starwood Festival. We stayed in a tent, sleeping on the ground in sleeping bags, camping rustic w/ no electricity. I had been invited to teach Distance Healing and Reiki for Parents, which I felt very honored about. The […]

Trying Not to Try

In my last post, I was experiencing some computer difficulties, and mentioned that I would be spending the weekend away for some R&R, friends, family & energy work. I also mentioned that I had been feeling a little “stuck” lately and hoped that would resolve itself soon. Here’s an update. The computer issues are resolved. […]

Crazy Days

The last few days have been kind of crazy. For two days, I had weird computer issues. First, Twitter suspended my account. Mine was one of a large number of accounts mistakenly suspended for no reason. Twitter corrected it and apologized but it brought to life how much I really rely on my involvement with […]

Alice’s Awakening

People often ask me how I got here, how I became a passionate Reiki teacher. Here’s the story, and links to a number of posts written at the time of the events I’ve described here. Please enjoy. When I was a kid, I wanted to feel special. Doesn’t everyone want to feel special, endowed with […]

A Trickle or a Gush – Intuitive Development

One of the things I do for people is intuitive development mentoring. I would like to say outright that I am not the most intuitive person I know. Not at all. I’ll also tell you that I was not born psychic, and I never had any sort of childhood intuitive abilities. I have never seen […]

The Weight of the Word

In my other professional life, I write content and rules for games. Board games, mostly – social party games involving cards, questions, and friendly competition. I learned through having this kind of job that every word is important. Words for cards, questions and rules must be chosen carefully in order to be clear about how […]
