It would seem that somehow I have to condition her to deal with adults who choose to yell and use scare tactics to keep them in fear, perhaps to control […]

Thoughts by Janeen J. Detrick My thoughts wander to what could have possibly triggered the Sept. 11th attacks, eleven years ago today. What a travesty. How can such things happen in a benevolent universe? Did “God” do it? Why did “God” allow it? If “God” did it, how could we ever trust such a God?

What do you think will make you feel better? Can you describe it to me? 2. After you’ve explained how you are feeling to […]

Ideas for Getting Support! By Janeen Detrick 1. First, learn to ASK for support! When was the last time you really wanted someone to notice that you wanted feedback, but YOU didn’t ask for it?

There are three primary indicators of our soul’s purpose: 1. What obstacles have you repeatedly faced? There’s a lesson in there that your soul intended to learn! Which means, of course, that you didn’t previously know how to do it more effectively! You know where self sabotage comes from? It comes from the fact that you haven’t learned that thing yet, but WANT TO! So, there’s a script in your head that says, “I never do that right”, because that is why you’re here! 2. What are you so good […]
