Don?t let the true magic of the holiday season get lost in the whirlwind and glitter of this busy time of year.

Part 1: Understanding the Pain of Betrayal

Relationship, WellnessBy Carla Marie Manly, PhDApril 19, 2018Leave a comment

Betrayal. In truth, betrayal is one of our worst fears. Betrayals can occur within families, in the workplace, among friends, and in the most sacred space of marriage.

As the afterglow of summer lingers in my soul and in the air, I pause to filter through my drifting thoughts. Emotions float in my soul and morph into words within my brain.? The journey of my life has changed again?as unpredictable and wild as the seasons have become. There is no use in struggling…

The Warmest Winter of All

Life, WellnessBy Carla Marie Manly, PhDMarch 8, 2018Leave a comment

As my feet touch the soft earth, I realize that I?ve been absent too long. The selfsame soul that writes for others of psychology and healing has taken a strange hiatus from the writing that gives her own spirit such joy and deep expression. So, as I take the winding path that leads me through…

I Cry Because I Love

WellnessBy Carla Marie Manly, PhDFebruary 22, 2018Leave a comment

A crimson-gold collage of autumn leaves dances about my feet as I stride swiftly across the parking lot. The hour for my weekly meditation is calling, and I want time to settle in before it begins. Still, it?s impossible not to pause for a moment to admire the still-blooming cascade of purple flowers tumbling from…

Lessons in Love, The Story of the Pink Moon

WellnessBy Carla Marie Manly, PhDJanuary 25, 2018Leave a comment

I step through the garden gate, a long, incredible week behind me. I take a deep breath of the warm, sweet air. A gold-breasted finch darts from the bubbling fountain as though I interrupted its bath. The tiny, swift bird sweeps into the greenery, and I smile as I soak in the delightful scene before…

Shell of a Woman

WellnessBy Carla Marie Manly, PhDDecember 21, 2017Leave a comment

She is a young, lovely shell of a woman. Exhaustion has painted tawny circles under her eyes. I am intrigued that her coloring is a palate of pale shades of bisque and faint peach. Though in her mid-twenties, she comes to my office in the company of her father. A sense of slight confusion rises…

It is February, and love is in the air. I feel it around me as nature begins to wake from its wintry sleep. The sweet softness of spring is on its way, gently pushing into the cold, calm chill of winter. Birdsong now breaks the early morning quiet, and I listen?curious and delightedly aware. As…

Love and Life in the Rain

WellnessBy Carla Marie Manly, PhDDecember 7, 2017Leave a comment

Nestled in the warmth of my bed, I wake slowly to the sun?s cool, gentle rays. It is cold and gray outside on this Easter morning, yet the rain seems fitting and good. After all, today marks the one year anniversary of my dear mother?s death, and I wonder if the skies are not crying…

A Statue Without Hands

WellnessBy Carla Marie Manly, PhDNovember 23, 2017Leave a comment

January smiles and softly asks that I open up to new ways of being. I listen and want to heed her gentle call. Although I feel ever open to new experiences, there is a part of me that often prefers what is already known, the more familiar walks and pathways. I often fly through my…
