Jacqueline Marshall is a Minnesota native but has lived in the Chicago area the past 22 years. It took her a while to discover what she wanted to do when she grew up. Before being a counselor, Jacqueline worked as a medical lab techincian, a pharmacy technician, a private piano teacher and a graphic designer. I guess you could say she is well rounded. It wasn't until she received an M.A. in Counseling Psychology, and started a new path providing therapy, that she realized a sense of fulfillment in work. She was married for seven years but now shares a place with three fur children (cats).
Jacqueline is also a writer of short fiction, poetry and essay. She practices yoga and chi gong, and loves to read and learn.
In case you're wondering, the LCPC after her name stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.
Here are some statements Jacqueline frequently makes to others:
- Trust your feelings; they are your road sign(s) and compass
- Check out your perceptions before making a judgment.
- To take your life to the next level (of well-being) you have to take responsibility for what you say and do each day. Otherwise you will always be what your past "says" you are.
- When you are truly listening to another person your mind will quiet, and you'll be receptive to your intuition.
- Most of the time people think about themselves, not you.
- You are not more important, nor less important, than anyone else.
- You are unique. Enjoy it.
- A kick in the ass is one step forward.
- You're a treasure. When you know that for yourself you will feel better, and life will be more enjoyable.
Humor pits the conventional and acceptable against that which is sideways or upside down. For this reason, humor can be a catalyst for self-awareness and spiritual growth. Laughter is a powerful but soft way to look at our own faults and limiting perceptions. It puts a compassionate face on personal truth. JM
QUOTES THAT REFLECT MY CONCEPT OF WELL BEING:
The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.
- Tom Clancy, paraphrasing M. Twain
A musician must make music,
an artist must paint,
a poet must write,
if he or she is ultimately to be at peace with himself.

the process of rational thinking."

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is
a faithful servant.We have created a society that honors
the servant and has forgotten the gift.
~ Albert Einstein ~
Live out your imagination, not your history.
~ S. Covey ~
When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem
begins to resemble a nail.
~ Abraham Maslow ~
Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series
of small things brought together.
