Shame Versus Guilt

April 6, 2021April 6, 2021 Esther Vanderwal

Recently I have been reading the book, “The Power of Vulnerability” by Brenee Brown. It’s a wonderful book if you are looking for something to read.  What I was focused on was her definition of shame and guilt and how the two were indicators of how someone would handle difficult life events.  She shared that… Continue reading Shame Versus Guilt

Find It and Affirm It

March 4, 2021March 4, 2021 Esther Vanderwal

As most of you know, I like to walk and use my audible device to listen to my books. I am a multi-tasker at heart and try to get things done throughout my day as efficiently as possible. I am an avid reader and most of the books that I read are to further improve… Continue reading Find It and Affirm It

Privilege

September 15, 2020September 15, 2020 Esther Vanderwal

Today as I scrolled through Facebook, I paused on a friend’s post.  She had posted pictures of her wedding dress as well as pictures of her mother, aunt and sister in the same dress.  It was a lovely story of how the dress had been expensive, but her grandfather had bought it for her mother… Continue reading Privilege

The Silver Lining

August 26, 2020August 26, 2020 Esther Vanderwal

It’s that time of year again, where our kids go back to school and summer break is over. Summer was not at all what any of us had anticipated and it almost feels as if we were robbed of something.  Well, not only feels like, but we were.  The happy days of cookouts with friends… Continue reading The Silver Lining

Balance and Parenting

June 3, 2020June 3, 2020 Esther Vanderwal

I remember visiting my mother when I was a young mother of two.  I was so busy with the children. We were trying to go shopping together with the kids in tow.  As soon as we got the shopping cart ready, my daughter needed to go potty.  No more had I gotten her to finally… Continue reading Balance and Parenting

A Race Without an End?

April 27, 2020April 27, 2020 Esther Vanderwal

As I continue to meet with clients, I am noticing patterns in how we are all dealing with the virus.   In the beginning, it seemed we were all shocked that this could happen in our lifetime.  Then, some were seeing the positives of life slowing down and enjoying the time with family. I heard about… Continue reading A Race Without an End?

A Historic Time of Worldwide Grief

March 29, 2020March 29, 2020 Esther Vanderwal

Photo by Stanley Morales on Pexels.com A final moment comes like a thief in the night.  We do not expect it or see it coming.  If we knew that certain moments would be the “last time” then we would relish and linger in them a little longer.  We would allow all our senses to take… Continue reading A Historic Time of Worldwide Grief

Bittersweet

March 21, 2020March 21, 2020 Esther Vanderwal

I used to hear that word and not really know what it truly meant, until I had my daughter. She was my first child. Suddenly, I could almost taste the word. Every moment of her sweet life has been a true pleasure to be a part of, but it keeps changing and that’s the part… Continue reading Bittersweet
