Gurus

Published on by Jennie Adams
Through the years I have met many who put themselves on pedestals, as if they know more than others. I’m not referring to someone who has just had more life experiences than others (that often makes them more humble). I’m referring to people who believe that they know better than you what you should do, […]

Choosing and Following Practices

Published on by Jennie Adams
I have many friends that jump full force into a practice like an addiction, only to burn out completely a few weeks or months later. They do this repeatedly and each time leave everything behind – always on the lookout for the next high or the perfect practice. Other friends stay rigidly with a specific […]

You Know More Than You Think You Know

Published on by Jennie Adams
I have many friends that have become entrenched in spiritual communities, or just worked with healers. I have done both myself. At first they feel very good, but at some point things start feeling not so great. When they start voicing that something feels off, the leaders or healers do not listen to the constructive […]

The Depth of Your Grief is Measure of Your Love

Published on by Jennie Adams
Over the past 10 years I have experienced a significant number of losses including my child, countless pets, friends’ children, family members, and a significant other’s two suicide attempts. I’ve seen many people being pushed to speed up the grief and recovery process, or to try to rush through the “stages of grief”.  The stages […]

Moving to a New Country With Pets

Published on by Jennie Adams
It has been a year since I moved from Texas to the Netherlands and five months from the Netherlands to Norway with two dachshund mixes and a cat. Boy, was that first move an adventure! Okay, BOTH moves were adventures, but for completely different reasons. Based on what I learned, I wanted to write up […]

The mind retaliates. Keep trudging along like you always have. The rule book exists for a reason. Defying it and setting off on your own path exudes with selfishness, abandoning others, and showing others there may actually be a better path. I have done this a few times now. As a child we moved or […]

The Call

Published on by Jennie Adams
The Call Hunger Deep guttural growls Eyes cut looking Prowling A mate, a match, an equal on all fields Willing to play and see where it takes them Handling and taming the beast Fierce rage and passion – really they are one in the same Reaching deep inside pulling out the worst to get to […]

Passion

Published on by Jennie Adams
Dull throbbing deep in the nether regions of the body Shortness of breath Sweaty palms Slight heating through the body Deep seated roaring anger Lightness of the edge of a rose petal being stroked across the body Happiness erupting just being near the energy of someone Softening at the sound of a voice Allowing the […]

Story

Published on by Jennie Adams
It consumes us. It dictates our future. How do we get out of it? Where is the exit? Why are we so boxed in? Such a distorted lens. We deserve so much more. We can have so much more. Why do we allow it to dictate what we believe we are allowed? When did it […]
