As I am writing this post to you, the saying, “be careful what you wish for…” resides in my mind. I have had a lot of T’ai Chi moments (in other words, lots of change), since my last blog entry on ChiMoments.com. I confirmed this past Tuesday, that a large...
One of my Core Desired Feelings (CDFs) for 2015 is IT (Intuitive Trust). I don’t know about you, but at times, I reach and grasp for answers outside of myself. This year, I am really focusing on trusting my intuition. Being more open and recognizing when I...
