What is a Wazzy anyway? Funny you should ask. Everyone has a Wazzy, did you know that? Yes, even you! You have a Wazzy! I’ll let you in on a big secret… your Wazzy is your intuition!
Hunter and Wazzy Adventures is a 4-book series picture book series by Alexis Faere about Hunter—a boy who discovers his intuition (his Wazzy) and what to do with it. Through the course of the series, Hunter meets his Wazzy and learns a little bit about what intuition is and what to do with it when he has challenges. Some of the challenges he faces include:
- Wanting to feel like one of the cool kids by helping his brother build a ginormous Ferris wheel
- Having nightmares
- Feeling hurt when grown-ups forget their Wazzy and say harsh things
- Tempting fate and stepping outside of boundaries
By the end of the series, Hunter learns a big truth about Wazzy—his intuition is with him wherever he goes, and it is always a part of him. His intuition is his wise inner self and it’s always working on his behalf. Guess what? Your Wazzy really is… (you’ll have to read all the books in the series to find out)!

Family dynamics get interesting under any condition. When trauma happens, either within a family or to someone in the family, things can change how a family relates to itself. I’m sharing these thoughts from my perspective and the impact being raped had on my family. I can’t possibly talk about everything in the few hundred words that will make up this blog post, but here are some highlights.
When I got hurt, my parents wanted to know that their little girl was alright, that she was okay. I understand that as a parent. As a kid, though, I didn’t want any special treatment or attention. I just wanted my life to get back to normal, and special attention was not part of that picture. Because I wasn’t fully able to grasp my parents’ perspective, this caused some rift in the waters of our otherwise ‘normal’ relationship.

I hate when that happens! How many times have you said this to yourself or out loud? It’s pretty easy for us to jump on the hate bandwagon, and it is a thunderously loud emotion. Hate easily pops up in topics such as politics, social issues, or even personal attacks. What is the possibility that when we feel hate, there are deeper awarenesses at work?

I’m playing with the idea of conscious receiving today. Nice job! Congratulations! You look dapper today. I love you. I appreciate your helping me with this. You are amazing, and I’m so glad we are spending time together.
What’s spinning around in your consciousness when someone says these things to you? Do you grasp for a quick retort, feeling slightly uncomfortable and not sure what to say in response? I’m familiar with that one. Why do we sputter and wriggle around when someone notices and recognizes us with these gifts?

Ooooh, sigh, gasp, eye-roll: can you sense that irked feeling dropping in for a visit? You know it, but perhaps it’s not a feeling you quickly put your finger on. The person sitting next to you is munching on something crispy, and that just keeps nagging you away from your focus stream. Maybe one more interruption is going to push you over the edge. Or here’s a good one: that mosquito keeps buzzing around your ear, and just won’t buzz off! These little, early-stage irritations leave you feeling irked!

It’s rare for people to talk about feeling jaded. Have you ever asked someone how they feel, and the response is ‘jaded?’ It’s a feeling rarely talked about. So, I’m diving in. If you were to describe what you mean when you say, ‘I’m feeling jaded,’ how would you describe it?

How do you manage when life says, “Stop?!” The dreams and aspirations I had for 2025 were all on track for the first half of the year. Suddenly, though, in the last half of the year, life screamed stop! Nothing I planned for stayed on track, and a new sort of path demanded my attention. What’s a person to do?

‘You are here: I’m there with you’ is a phrase I’ve coined in my personal journey around caregiving for an aging parent. It’s easy when caring for a loved one with memory loss to get frustrated with the changes we see and experience. In my personal experience, the dad I used to know and remember shifts into someone different. Some days he seems like a completely different person. Oi! What’s a person to do with that?

Have you felt Knotted?
Knotted is a word I’ve rarely used to describe an emotion, but I have certainly felt it. This is a feeling probably more often used to describe a physical feeling as it relates to knotted or cramping muscles. Who here has never felt a physical cramp? Ouch! On the emotion side of things, who here has ever felt knots in their stomach? Oh! Is that what that is? Now, what’s it all about?

Needing to Try Again
“You’re okay; try again.” Her dad encouraged her to get up off the ground she tumbled to while trying to ride her bike without training wheels. Sound familiar? When you started riding your bike, how many times did you try before you got the hang of it? Your heart was super motivated, but the first few times you tried, you went tumbling off the bike, learned how hard the ground was, and didn’t enjoy the result. What’s a person to do?

I’m feeling lethargic. Let’s see… Am I experiencing overload? (Perhaps.) Maybe I’m avoiding feelings I don’t want to feel. (I have felt that before, but that doesn’t seem to be it today.) On the mind-body connection front, I’ve negligent on the hydration front. (This could be a factor.) Am I separated from my purpose or joy? (Recently, life called me to redirect my energy. Meaning is still present in my life.) Or, is this lethargy a healthy response to life’s demands? (Maybe.)
