With everything that is currently happening in the world (i.e. environmental and human-made disasters, political unrest etc) it certainly looks like we are in the end times, the Apocalypse, which was foretold eons ago. I believe the world is not coming to an end but that in a few short years the Earth and its peoples will be [...]
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. – This is What it Means to Me.
Ahh, respect. Everyone wants it, very few people get it in a way that matters. Being ‘respected’ because you have wealth or some other kind of social status is not the R.E.S.P.E.C.T. that I am referring to. Respect, in my opinion, is about being treated like everything about who you are matters – your feelings, thoughts, [...]
Just Like Starting Over
New beginnings, turning over a new leaf, wiping the slate clean, starting over…at the dawn of yet another year many of you will be thinking about beginning again right now. Do you want to be healthier? Are you ready for new relationships? Do you want a more fulfilling job/career? You may make an effort to [...]

Nature’s Healing Powers
Nature has played (and continues to play) a pivotal and powerful role in my healing journey. Based on the amazing ways in which I have been helped, I believe there is probably something in nature to cure every disease – physical, mental and/or emotional. Eventhough this is something I cannot prove, “I feel it in my bones” [...]
Shopping for a Shrink
The title in this post may be a little misleading as I will be referring to all types of psychological therapists in my description of what to look for when shopping for a…psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, counselor, alternative therapist and so on. I have been to so many over the years to help me cope with severe [...]
Holy Healing, Helen!
“Healing would have to be both the worst and the best thing that I have ever done (and continue to do). The worst part is the pain…oh the heart-breaking, soul-draining, almost-too-much-to-bear pain! Healing simply isn’t possible without it. In relation to trauma, there is much more involved than merely recalling disturbing memories - these experiences need [...]
Introducing The Phoenix
Progress has been very slow since it is quite emotional writing this book…as you can well imagine. I have decided to write only when I am inclined to do so or have the energy to express myself about this aspect of my life. This is definately not like the creation of my other literary pieces which I [...]
Beginning My Ascent
I never thought I would have a reason to write a blog. So much of my work is already posted on my website but here I am… This book will be a very difficult one to pen as it involves recalling – yet again – some very painful, horrible times. Abuse of any kind is devastating [...]
