The Soulful Self Show with April Kirkwood, LPC

Situations seem to pop up out of the clear blue. Some bring heroes, lovers and great friends. Others seem to be more like nightmares with villains out to get us. I have tried to manage them...some not so well. But then I went deep inside and looked at even the worst individuals and events through a different lens. It has helped me see others differently, carry less guilt as well as less anger. Here is how I deal with situations....hope this inspires you to look at all situations as relationships urging each of us to learn and heal. Love, April of CourseSupport the show

May you slow down and realize it so love lands gracefully on your shoulder without ever so much as a text message from a stranger.Support the show
