Most of you know that I consider one of my first difficult relationships the one I developed with food and eating. It came in as a distinct relationship around adolescence, the usual time young people are becoming interested in adulthood, attraction to others, sexuality, greater responsibility. I was afraid of the universe. Things did NOT…
Over the weekend in a workshop of absolutely delightful people who came to do The Work together for an afternoon, a question came up that I’ve been asked before: What if I want to keep my belief? What if I like my belief? I like how Byron Katie suggests that you don’t need to question…

One of my favorite topics of all time to do The Work on is Money. That stuff called Money that appears necessary for trading what you need to survive, or to take action, have adventures, learn, or to feel secure. Such a huge, wide, broad general topic…money shows up in life, even if you live…
Relationships that are rocky, difficult, or troubling can last long after the actual relationship is over. The memory of that worrisome person can bring up fresh feelings of confusion, analysis, heartache….all of the sudden maybe, when you’re walking to the store.
