I’m not talking about Nextdoor. That’s neighborhood gossip; this would be for exchanging information to affect change. Hear me out. But also let me know if this exists already. Example: Your HVAC Doesn’t Work Reliably Neighbors at a certain property should be able to communicate via a secure app that a landlord and property management can’t…

Congrats 🎉 You’re writing an entire novel this month, a solo activity requiring a daily commitment. But how do you actually complete your novel by 12/1? You Do It By Making Writing a Daily Habit Duh. But you know who has a problem doing this? Writers. Writers love to do anything but write the damn thing. Fight this by…

A year ago, I had no idea where “doing” NaNoWriMo would lead. I’d “done” it before but didn’t get very far. When I logged into my NaNo account for 2021, all my previous failed attempts stared me in the face. It’s Easy To Say You’re Doing It, Harder To Say You DID IT The same goes for marathon running, which I also did…

We have to start somewhere with what we have. I was digging through an old hard drive and I found some of the first graphics and blogs I made. I was reviewing free/cheap writing SaaS and making my first (horrible) graphics in Canva c. 2015–2016. This went with a blog…

Don’t Practice Outside Your Scope of Practice. — Don’t write checks you can’t cash! Don’t make promises about what Reiki can do or what someone will experience. Have integrity.

While I’m happy to share about myself and my experiences, I don’t want to do it to a client’s detriment. The 4th Reiki Boundary is Proper Disclosure I never want you to hear me talk about Reiki while thinking silently, “I wish I could experience that,” or, “That’s just not possible…” Experiences vary. We’re not all here…

Many Still Believe Reiki Is “Wackadoo” — When people come to me for Reiki, they come from all walks of life. The one thing they all had in common? They don’t want me to tell the world they were seeing me for Reiki sessions. For some, there is a reputation to lose if certain people find out…

The problem in the healing arts is many Reiki practitioners aren’t using the boundary of respect. An example: Someone comes up to you (who thinks she’s super ‘spiritual,’ and ‘intuitive’ who most likely refers to herself as an ‘empath’) tells you SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU 🙄 You have a dark energy…

In Reiki, Boundaries Are Built In — Nine years ago, Reiki taught me something I’d been trying to learn through therapy — boundaries. So many people are drawn to this energetic art who have boundary issues. Have you ever noticed everyone in the metaphysical space is “an empath!” Empath = poor boundaries and I will die on…
