Grief; It Comes In Waves

Image
Wow, what a month! I have to admit it's been somewhat of a whirlwind for many, including myself. I personally have experienced a range of emotions including excitement, sadness, hope, defeat, empowerment, joy, fear, gratitude, and surrender. In light of all that, and the increase in COVID cases and a new mask mandate, I felt it only appropriate to write a little about grief. I hope you find this helpful. Please feel free to leave feedback, reach out via email, or through the “Hay Keri” section on the website.  Grief comes in waves. Sometimes the grief comes in like a tropical storm and it lasts for days.  You feel the oncoming of it, at times you may feel irritable, overwhelmed, exhausted, hopeless, and have this ache in your tummy.  You may try to hide from it, run away and distract yourself from what you are feeling.  However hard you try though it has a way of making itself known.  The longer you deny what you are feeling the more intense it becomes.  Some people are unaware of

Staff Meeting and Honoring Fear

Image
  We had our first “staff” meeting during the month of June and it went really well with the exception of two of our people unable to attend. We held our meeting equine-learning style (which is way more interesting than any other staff meeting I have attended). My plan was to do the meeting as a group and obviously the horses were a part of that. I thought that I would be a participant and a therapist stepping in and out of the role. It can get a little tricky to do this but it's totally possible. Anyway, that was the plan, but one of the many things I have learned with equine therapy is that things usually never go according to plan. My team ended up being the therapist and I was more like the participant. However, as a team we all had our roles as a group. In this “staff meeting” I was able to see what I had been feeling but avoided saying. It is fear. I realized I am afraid of a lot of things, especially starting a business. With the support of my team and the interactions of th

The Gift of Intuition

Image
As a child, I often had dreams that would come true and visited with some loved ones who had already passed over. My friends often asked me what I thought about certain situations in their lives, and very often I was able to accurately guide them with things to do, behaviors to avoid, and so on.  I had never thought much about this until my late teens when I learned more about what it meant to have psychic abilities. I was instantly drawn to learn more about this gift, including my own gifts and abilities.  In 2005 I began working with my mentor Virginia Thompson, who has since passed.  Virginia was a registered nurse, reverend, author, and psychic.  She hated the word psychic because of all the stereotypes attached to it.  For many, a softer and more recognizable word intuitive. We all have intuition, we just use it differently - some use it a lot and some don’t.  I worked with Virginia to fine-tune my own skills and abilities. This was not an easy task. Being able to work with energ
