The National Day of Prayer

When we first looked up at the skies and felt alone, when we lose our beloved family member, when our hearts have been broken, and when we are traumatized, when we run out of options, and when we are physically in pain, we can pray in our own way. Spirituality is a personal experience and one which is documented as one of the seven protective factors for a deeply fulfilling life. So today, pray! Pray with song, with dance, with silence, with poetry. Pray with all the beautiful things that remind you of your divine humanity and how much you mean to others and yourself. Self-love is a form of prayer; you deserve to love yourself and be loved for yourself now.

We REALLY are All Connected; Celebrating Earth Day

Earth Day
You don't have to be a super recycler, vegan earth shoe wearer if you don't want to be. You don't have to plant trees if you don't want to. You don't even have to bike/ walk to work if you can't but the very act of increasing your state of awareness of how our individual actions impact others and our planet means that you are one step closer to that universal sense of connection that we all need to survive together. Let's survive together, shall we?

Boston Marathon Therappy
The discussion surrounding the Boston Marathon and similar events with children is undoubtedly complex. It requires a balance of honesty and sensitivity. By acknowledging the reality of the situation, providing reassurance, preparing them for emergencies, and embracing community and spirituality, we can guide our children through these challenging times. Remember, it is not just about the conversation you have today but also about the ongoing support and understanding you provide as they navigate their feelings and responses to the events of the world around them.

Why We Need Anger Management in College Basketball

Anger Management
Anger Management: The Cost of Anger in Sports Anger, when not managed properly, can be destructive, particularly in a team setting where cohesion and mutual respect are paramount. The incident at Rutgers University underscores a critical issue: the use of demeaning and abusive tactics under the guise of motivation. Such behavior not only tarnishes the sport and the institutions involved but also inflicts deep psychological wounds on the athletes, who look to their coaches for guidance and support, not fear and intimidation. Also, please remember, that is someone's child you are screaming on.
