I witnessed a breakthrough with a client last week, who realized how capable she was of successfully pursuing her own dreams to open a vegan restaurant, without leaning too heavily on the counsel of supposed mentors. I met with another client last week, who vented frustrations around the continual shock and surprise she would receive in response to her decision to leave a high paying corporate job, and become a passionate nutritionist instead. Another client last week, who lives a curiosity driven life and has several purposes, shared feelings of isolation because she did not fit a certain mold. And a fourth client was simply trying to “live and let live,” as she said in her own words, without so many forced expectations.

"To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his God.” ~Thomas Macaulay “Horatius” The first few months of 2018 have brought quite the shift. This has been a dense year, one that has seen us more committed to change. I’m not sure about you, but I continue to observe the weightiness of my life. Time has become my most valuable resource, which is why I intend to use it wisely, and for a greater good. In many of the annual readings I give to clients, there is always a “sleepy period” in their forecast, i.e., a low energy-cycle that can manifest as depression, sadness, lethargy, or simple exhaustion. While this is a natural part of the rhythm of life, most people do not like these periods. They beg the need to go off the radar and focus on inward pursuits, and as human beings, living in a world where poor internet speed can be a deal breaker when choosing a Wi-Fi network, our tendency is to fill the space with something. There is always something to do; why waste time resting?
