People spend money on what they value.  Help your clients build the "values nest eggs" they need for a fuller, richer life. Wealth and Well Being, a book for therapists, counselors and helping professionals, delivers the message that speaking about money should not be taboo.

These roadblocks include anxiety and compulsive behaviors with money and spending, depression, trauma, and poor self-care. The book is a guide to help counselors in the recovering community to address specific issues in money and recovery with their clients. It is filled with helpful worksheets and vignettes that make a complicated issue in our society manageable and clear. Buy the book now.

Whats the Promise?

I was e chatting with my sister Jo this morning about keeping the faith in the joy of our lives when we often can’t see or control the means for the outcome. We said that often we forget that despite or maybe because of conflicts, our lives always seem to work out. When I ask her for ideas of what to write about this morning, she said write “ that you are happy to be alive and enjoying life!” What a great idea, because in fact, that’s true. I continue to actually see the end of the rainbow, it is not illusive. When I see it, it is not the traditional pot of gold, but the promise that the gold is the gold of my intention and creation. True, I am creating my life often times in the middle of chaos, confusion and fear, but I believe in the promise that things will work out even if I don’t know how. In that I have faith. I am happy to be alive and I do enjoy my life! Thanks for the reminder Jo. Oh, and happy birthday to your first born, how lucky you are to have him in your life, as I am for mine!   Life is good.

Sometimes as a photographer, I get excited about doing a series of photographs on a certain theme.  I will focus on that theme for awhile, and then move on, and come back to it again. These small projects usually are part of a whole set of interests that I seem to be drawn to as a photographer and artist. Themes that I have been interested photographing over the years have been the disapearing icons in California and elsewhere. Movie theatre marquees, drive in movies, phone booths, old gas stations and pumps, weathered barns, and other "echos of the past"  are all images that I like to photograph. Pioneer Cemeteries have been my latest interest in our travels around and about the north state.
