Tools for Change:

  • Feeling tension, anger, frustration, regret? It could be your inner and outer worlds are not aligned. To regain alignment, ask yourself what do I need to do to align my inner and outer worlds. Am I missing something?  Is there something else to be doing in my life to feel fulfilled?

  • Start writing down all the caring connections you have in your life.  Once you start you’ll see them everywhere and be steeped in gratitude and appreciation.
