How Often Does Your Inner Volcano Erupt?
“When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.” – African proverb
I think of this quote with clients all the time, because it seems that our common tendency is to look outside ourselves and blame “the other” for our anger, frustration, sadness, fear etc. Whereas in truth, people and situations simply trigger these deeper parts of us boil over.
When we clear out our “inner volcano” we can find our deeper sense of grounded calm and strength.
So when an “enemy” comes at us with something that would normally trigger our own internal “eruption”, we have nothing left to erupt, and we stay cool as a cucumber! 😉

Women and Friendship: What's it all about?
I just read this article from Women’s Digest: UCLA Study on Friendship Among Women. Here are some of the highlights that I found interesting…
“Women respond to stress with a cascade of brain chemicals that cause us to make and maintain friendships with other women…”
- “Scientists generally believed that when people experience stress, they trigger a hormonal cascade that revs the body to either stand and fight or flee…Now researchers suspect women have a larger behavioral repertoire than just fight or flight…When the hormone oxytocin is released, as part of the stress responses in a woman, it buffers the fight or flight response and encourages her to tend to children and gather with other women instead.”
- “… the “tend and befriend” notion developed by Drs. Klein and Taylor may explain why women consistently outlive men.”
- “…study has found that social ties reduce our risk of disease by lowering blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol. There’s no doubt, says Dr. Klein, that friends are helping us live longer.”
It seems that the sharing and bonding amongst women is even more important than I realized….just another good reason to make an appointment with me I suppose 😉 Click here
"We may not have it all together…"
“We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.”
-Unknown
I like this quote because it addresses the notion that we aren’t always “perfect” and it places the importance on simply connecting with one another. We never stop growing and learning from one another, and this is definitely a gift worth appreciating.
