Paying It Forward through Love
As many of you know, I came to a college in a small rural town when I heard my calling to help students who have been sexually assaulted by others, or physically assaulted in intimate partner relationships as I changed my career to do this type of work. Because of my own childhood abuse,…

Healing through Dreams
The idea of emotional healing through dreams is pretty controversial, and I have no scientific proof that it really works. However, I do want to share with you this phenomenon that I recently experienced. Since my recent work with releasing ego, some of my emotions have been suppressed. One such emotion is anger.

Surrender to What Is
I have read many who write about surrender in the spiritual community. For many, including myself, I speak of surrender in a theoretical sense, but never truly felt this experience or adopted it fully. I have short periods of surrender in my life when I do not fight the forces that be, and try to…

Reflections of Healing
This weekend gave me an opportunity to reflect upon my recent emotional healing. As I spent this weekend with a good friend who I have not seen in over six months, I had an opportunity to reflect through her eyes about my emotional recovery. I asked her how I appear to her as I explained…
