Is Life A Series of Important Events or Processes?
I was reflecting the other morning on how we tend to think of life as a series of important events that mold and shape our world. As I sat with this thought for a while, it occurred to me events are rarely events, they tend to be a process that has culminated with a defining experience; the “event” was just a larger experience in a longer, more defined process.
What Is An Important Event?
Let’s begin this exploration looking at major life events like weddings, birth, death, divorce, graduation, retirement and birthdays, and see if we can discover where the process began and if it really was an actual event....Can Success and Sex Sell Mindfulness?
I found this such an entertaining and well-written article; Can Success and Sex Sell Mindfulness? I hope you find it as riveting as I did. I think she has raised some excellent questions for further reflection.
The first thing that bothered me in the article was that I actually knew what the expression "side-boob" meant. I wish I didn't but I do, enough exposure to pop culture through Facebook and online research has me more mainstream slang-friendly than I would like.

Clothes were rarely where they belong, in fact, they were typically anywhere but where they belonged. There were times it was hard to tell the clean from the dirty piles, there was so much. Clutter, of mind, home and life were constant obstacles to being present and focused in my day. I am grateful these things are rarities in my life today!...Providence Spiritual Life Coaching – Helping, Fixing or Serving?
I recently read an incredible article in Shambala Sun titled Helping, Fixing or Serving? by Rachel Naomi Remen. This article inspired an opportunity to reflect on the differences of helping, fixing or serving. As a Providence Holistic Counseling Services, the distinctions are important and valuable in my work.
During periods of my life when I was receiving support from professionals in the Mental Health and Spiritual Communities, I was fortunate to be directed to people who clearly wanted my best interest first, this was clear in the way they interacted and guided me. I somehow knew this, even from those I paid for their services. I think we can feel at a deeper level when we are served and when are being helped or fixed by someone. ...
