I often look at the many observances in a month for ideas of what to blog about. For the first time, I noticed two in March that grabbed my attention: Everything You Think is Wrong Day on March 15 and Everything You Do is Right Day on March 16. That strange juxtaposition sparked something within […]
In our many decades of working with people in the business world, clients of social services, and regular everyday people, one thing seems to be universally true: Everybody is dealing with life, and life can be hard. Many people don’t want others to know that they are struggling. Just look at your social media feeds—what […]
October is National Emotional Wellness and Positive Attitude Month. I would like to make a case that the two go hand-in-hand, and Mental Freedom® is a tool to develop and enhance both. Although it has the potential to help everyone, Mental Freedom was not created to address mental health diagnoses but for anyone who may […]
When I recently spoke about Mental Freedom, the person I was talking with assumed that it is for people with mental health concerns. While I know people with mental health diagnoses could benefit from Mental Freedom, that is not who I created the program for. When I created Mental Freedom, I was considering highly competent […]
This year, as I am writing my fifth book, Mental Freedom, 2023 is unfolding as my year of preparation. I have always had a strong drive to create new material and products. It’s how I spend a lot of my time. This year, as I am planning to release a suite of Mental Freedom products in […]

If you read my last blog and have been wondering how to move along the mental health continuum from distress to peace, this is what you’ve been waiting for. Last time, I shared some ways to assess your mental health. This week, here are some simple concepts you can follow that will help you make […]
Recently, someone asked what my reasons are for developing Mental Freedom®. I don’t know if I can pinpoint just one—there are many. As so often happens when important things are developed, a whole collision of seemingly meaningless, disconnected events helps make it all happen. The creator’s job is to follow the path the Universe opens, […]
How many times have you thought you were intervening in someone’s life for their own good? This could look like giving hard-heard advice. Maybe you created a difficult or hurtful situation that you believed would help them in the long run. Or perhaps you coerced someone until they gave in and did what you thought […]
I can explain why people have expectations and how they can ruin relationships. I can suggest methods to help you manage those expectations and the subsequent disappointments.
