the work

"When the song of the angels is stilled, 
When the star in the sky is gone, 
When the kings and princes are home, 
When the shepherds are back with their flock, 
The work of Christmas begins: 
To find the lost, 
To heal the broken, 
To feed the hungry, 
To release the prisoner, 
To rebuild the nations, 
To bring peace among brothers, 
To make music in the heart." 
— from Howard ThurmanThe Mood of Christmas

~QUESTION FOR CONTEMPLATION AND JOURNALING:
What will be your Christmas work?

~AFFIRMATION FOR MEDITATION: 
Take a deep breath, exhale, and remember...
"BEGIN THE WORK."

Dr. Shelly Harrell

Welcome! My name is Dr. Shelly Harrell. I'm a psychologist and have been a professor, therapist, and consultant for over 20 years. My career has provided me with the amazing opportunity to help people transform their lives. I have been helping people and mentoring students professionally throughout my career. I am a licensed psychologist in California and currently a Professor at Pepperdine University's Graduate School of Education and Psychology.

Most recently, I have brought together my professional experience and my passion for helping others fully manifest their unique gifts and strengths to form "Focus and Flow", my integrative approach to facilitating optimal well-being and empowered living. Developing my programs and services has been a true labor of love. It represents an integration of my professional expertise, my life experiences, and my commitment to participating in the transformation of individuals, relationships, and communities. The Focus and Flow approach is about empowered living, positive energy, wellness, and fulfilling our optimal human potential. My services include psychotherapy, consultation, mental training, life coaching, retreats, online classes, and more. I emphasize the use of music, meditation, and writing as tools for healing and transformation.

"FocusandFlow - Just Posts" (focusandflow.posterous.com) is a simple blog site, a place for easy access of the various content that I share. I post all kinds of different inspiring and empowering content such as quotes, videos, and articles (some original and some reposted from other sites). Thanks for visiting and happy reading!
