Personal Myths: Update the Stories that Drive Your Life ll By Rev. Mary Coday Edwards, MA.
“Who’s going to marry a woman with three children?!” This was my mom’s incessant angst-driven rant after our father was killed in a tragic farming accident and left her alone to raise us little ones, all under the age of 10. I could never comprehend her distress. She was a school teacher and had put…
What Does Swimming Have to do with Mastering Learning? ll By Brenda Bomgardner

Ego Defenses ll By Rich Brodt
Today, I am taking a pause from writing about self-care, to discuss a topic that I have been seeing in my sessions quite a bit recently: ego.

Trusting, Confidence and Inner Peace ll Kate Heartsong
Trusting ourselves and that all is well in our lives is a big one for many people. It certainly has been for me!

Of course, we all can’t go around trusting everything, but that’s where discretion…

Light and Dark: Living a Seasonal Mythos ll Mary Coday Edwards
Blog 21 Light & Dark: Living a Seasonal Mythos By Rev. Mary Coday Edwards, MA Like a light dusting of snow covering a bleak industrial landscape, our religious leaders cloak crass and frenetic Christmas consumerism with a barren literal religiosity, embedding the Christ mythos into the Santa mythos in order to sanctify our…
