I eat very well, mostly healthy, organic, but sometimes I'm called to head over to Applebee's for their Won Ton chicken tacos, here in Santa Fe, NM.
The last time I felt pulled to go there, I sat at the counter (okay, the bar...) and was soon joined by a Southwestern cowboy — hat, boots 'n all — who ordered his usual tall beer. I said to the bar tendress, "Now there's a real cowboy!"
"Yeah," she replied, "he really is!" That told me that he was a regular.
For me, it's tiresome when people work to perfect ways to ‘pass the buck,’ make excuses, and avoid taking responsibility for even the smallest goof, misstep, bad decision, or false statement.
I was stunned by how refreshing it felt after an unexpectedly dramatic and contrasting experience. (Doesn’t contrast always get our attention?)
When we enter this physical reality and, after a time, become socialized and take our place as members of a community, we step into what is called ‘consensus reality’ — a generally agreed-upon version of reality that we accept, one that shapes our lives.
There’s an agreement that we will emulate the wealthy, those in power, celebrate celebrity and high achievers, and strive to conform to society’s expectations regarding our appearance, and how we regard those who differ from us.
Metaphysical Arrogance
Years ago, I learned a valuable lesson that added to my spiritual maturity. As is often the case, my most excellent teachings and insights come from the information I receive for clients in their consultations.
I was consulting for the mother of a two-year-old. She was grieving the loss of that son, who had recently perished from drinking from a can of kerosene he discovered in the garage.
HOLIDAY EMOTIONS
The holidays are always a time for reflection, and the older I get, the more there is to reflect upon. A surge of emotions arises when I think back on past Christmases, moments spent with family and friends—many of whom have passed, while others are facing significant challenges. I reminisce about better times when the world didn't feel so chaotic and unkind.
I remember reading somewhere in Eckhart Tolle’s 'A New Earth' (and I'm paraphrasing)) "When we define ourselves by our beliefs, the psyche feels it's being annihilated when it encounters an opposing belief!" Isn't that how folks are REACTing these days in such desperate, divisive, and mean-spirited ways?
Mindful of this, I remember a life-changing maneuver I employed years ago while getting ready to attend a dinner party. I was well-acquainted with the host and knew him to be exceedingly vocal about is religious and political beliefs.
Working with a client the other day, I picked up on a collection of troubling thoughts still bouncing around in his consciousness from the past..." around 7-8 years ago," I reported. "Yes," he replied, "it's shame ~ I carry those thoughts from being misjudged at a job around that time, an incident I was blamed for—it wasn't my fault! My employer threw me under the bus!"
However, he said the incident DID convince him he could trust himself—which has been empowering—but he still felt the shame and embarrassment carried from that time.
I often refer to this in consultations...it's a great example of how determined clients can be when trying to nail down FUTURE tidbits I share when I 'merge' and go beyond time!

Here come the holidays ~ and here's the 2024 Holiday eNewsletter, 'Being a Light!'
Every year on 9/11, I post my personal account from watching the horrific event from my rooftop in NYC. It's hard to believe it occurred 23 years ago on the most beautiful, crystal-clear morning; the blue sky soon clouded with unimaginable smoke and debris.
Seeing the Twin Towers out my window each morning sort of anchored my day, like tent posts. Solid, sturdy, dependable.
I'm grateful to know there's always a bigger picture unfolding, choreographed by a Force much greater and wiser than me, intending to teach humanity better ways to be in this physical experience.

These times present new challenges for folks seeking ways to overcome personal obstacles, isolation, and fears concerning their world, the planet, and the future. Louise demonstrates to audiences how it’s possible to ‘Dance with the Universe’ by creating space for Higher Energies to intervene.
Whenever news surfaces about those who are passionate about solving the mystery of Amelia's last flight, I'm reminded of a session I conducted years ago with a client who was determined to find the answer!
Here's the account of that consultation and what was revealed when I merged with Amelia's timeless consciousness. It was fun for me because my client was able to place most of the seemingly abstract impressions I received!
A while ago, I posted a fun story a long-time client shared with me, one that occurred shortly after the passing of her beloved, sight-impaired pup. Quite unexpectedly and serendipitously, when attending a memorial service and staying in her hotel room, she found a packet of complimentary coffee labeled 'Blind Dog' with a picture resembling her dog.
