Keeping in line with the themes from my previous piece, I want to take a closer look into the Enneagram and why it can be so useful for healing professionals to use with their clients. I believe that the Enneagram is a tool that can be useful for most people. For those who are unfamiliar,…
The Power of Daydreams ll By Erin Amundson
Following the launch of my fall online group, I’m reflecting even deeper on the content I’m teaching. It’s no surprise to me that every member of the group agreed that they go unconscious and find their mind daydreaming a worst-case scenario. For some, this is worry about a loved one. For others, worry about a…
The Glory of Lion’s Tooth: In Praise of Diversity ll By Dorothy Wallis
Dandelion, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” and you with your bright golden shaggy Lion’s mane and your “dent de lion” serrated leaves will always remind me of playing in meadows and making dandelion chains.

3 Maps for Life’s Journey ll By Rev. Mary Coday Edwards, MA.
Nothing like an old white guy defining and telling a woman what her journey ought to look like. And then gaslighting (1) her when she disagrees with his pronouncement. Joseph Campbell was in his late 70s when he dissed the woman’s journey as outlined by Jungian analyst Maureen Murdock in her 1990 book, The Heroine’s…
Finding Gratitude Even When it Seems Impossible ll By Dorothy Wallis
The sunlight bounces off the myriad shades of burnished auburn and gold as I rake leaves into plump piles. The azure sky is a deeper blue in autumn as the angle of the sun dips lower. The air has a bit of a chill. In Colorado the sun is quite intense and so the temperature…
Has a culture of insecurity distorted our reality? ll By Rich Brodt
At various times throughout my forays into writing I have delved into the current political climate of the United States.
