If You Always Do What You’ve Always Done…
(Originally posted Oct 9, 2018) I was fortunate to have the opportunity to take part in an amazing yoga nidra instructor certification course over three weekends in the past four months. I felt some fear going into the course, during the first two of the three...
Fall In Love With Your Fears – Kyle Cease
(Originally posted Oct 9, 2018) I love this guy’s perspective - Kyle Cease (picture above taken from his Facebook page). I find his ideas super inspiring and motivating. I'm in the middle of his book, I Hope I Screw This Up, which is great, and I recently stumbled...
Did I Say The Right Thing?
(Originally posted Oct 8, 2018) I used to spend a lot of time worrying: was I doing the right thing in that moment, or what should I do or say next so that others would think I was acceptable. I overanalyzed every situation, and agonized over how I thought I appeared...
Hidden Gems
(Originally posted Sept 10, 2018) I’m thinking about how I have learned the value of (and continue to work on) shifting my perspective - from that of lack, to that of gratitude for what I have and abundance; from focus on issues and ruminating on situations of the...
My Journey with Energy Healing

On ‘To Each Their Own… Reservoir of Knowledge,’ commented by Kelly Vass, May 13, 2019: Thank you Carla. I find your writing brings me back to the now. Always helpful and inspiring. I find you have a way of allowing grace in.
On ‘Hidden Gems,’ commented by Helen, Oct 7, 2018: Carla, I love this post. 
It’s a beautiful reminder of how full and “enough” this present moment is. I find I’m totally lost (grasping) when focused on the past. I’m most often caught in panic & fear in anticipation of the future. This moment is where beauty and appreciation lives! It’s where I’m most happy! 
On ‘Joy or Disappointment: You Choose,’ commented by KGC, Aug 8, 2018: Thank you — just the tonic I needed this evening, as I’m facing disappointment at things I’ve uncovered at work. They certainly aren’t going as expected, but it is an opportunity to make changes and improvements — and that feels so much better to focus on. You da’ best!!!
