Paris: Part Deux
Well, we did it! Our layover adventure in Paris was a complete success. After nearly 12 hours on what I have to say was a delightful flight on Air France, we landed in Paris at 10:30am. Quick recap, if there is one area that gives me anxiety, it is traveling.
Resolution Solution
The concept of a new year tends to invoke a lot of energy within us. There is something sacred about celebrating the passage of time with the entire planet. As we usher in 2014, our minds start racing with the possibility of change. While I have always enjoyed making resolutions, my approach has evolved this […]
My Heart Is Wide Open – I Think?
Recently I stated on Facebook, “You may be blocking miracles. Take a moment to make sure your heart is open.” After posting this, a few people made valid comments that lingered in my mind. The message was, “Dougall, how do I know if my heart is open?” I kept repeating this over and over again […]
How Sex Became A Central Part Of My Job
As a psychic and life coach, I am fortunate to be approached by production companies that want to consider me for television projects that they are working on. While flattering, some of the ideas are downright strange. A year ago I got a call from “Julie” at a production company based in New York. “We […]
Jumpstart
I’ve had writers block. Or is it blogger’s block? Whatever it is, I’ve been blocked. My mind can conjure up a dozen good reasons as to why I haven’t written a blog in almost six months. Maybe it was reading some of the negative comments from the last blog that I wrote. Perhaps it was […]
The Dr. Phil Experience
Feeling judged by others is an experience with which most of us are familiar. Your body type, politics, and sexuality are only some of the reasons that people might pass judgment. Even well-intentioned family and friends may look down upon us if we are not living our lives in accordance with their beliefs. I have […]
Tune In Or Tune Out?
I had to drag myself out of bed today. Last night was one of those nights that I couldn’t sleep because my mind was racing. I was bursting with thoughts. Elaborate conversations were happening in my head. Not guides or dead people; it felt more like brainstorming. When the alarm clock buzzed this morning, I […]
You Can’t Have Dreidels On That Christmas Tree!
“You can’t have dreidels on your Christmas Tree!” We hear that a lot. People seem startled when they visit our home and are greeted by all kinds of religious symbolism. A mezuzah hangs on our door frame, a four foot tall statue of Buddha perches in our foyer, and a wrought iron cross adorns our […]
Holiday Experiment
Can you believe that it’s November? The seasons are changing! We’ve watched the leaves changing, had fires in the fireplace, and cooked comforting soups on the stove. As usual, for months my family has also been talking about what we are going to do for the holidays. Seriously. This year we hit a record and […]
When the Student Becomes the Teacher
This might come as a surprise to you, but it’s hard for me to accept a compliment. This is especially true when it comes to my work. It’s not that I don’t think I am good at what I do. I’m personally quite proud of the career that I have made for myself. I was […]
