I love my dog but, real talk, some aspects of having a pet are not so glamorous. Can you relate? Dogs need exercise, and they need picking up after. I don’t love this, but it’s a necessary aspect of responsible pet ownership. And it reminded me of a conversation I had with a client theContinue reading “I said ‘yes’ to this”

love is my magnum opus
It’s been a bit since I’ve posted. I’ve been busy (dating) and honestly, this feels a little scary to share: Love and partnership are important to me. I have long dreamt of an epic, life-long love affair; I’ve envisioned it — and I thought I might’ve had it once or twice. And despite getting myContinue reading “love is my magnum opus”
what forgiveness reveals
For a dozen days, I’ve risen, fed the dog, grabbed a mug and sat in quiet contemplation to forgive people in my life for past hurts, wrongs, unmet expectations or moving on. Forgiving the same people day after day is a revealing practice. Here are some of the revelations I’ve experience since beginning my practice:Continue reading “what forgiveness reveals”
journey into forgiveness
I’ve been called to embark on a journey of forgiving the past and those who have hurt or wronged me, not lived up to my expectations or simply moved on. When this calling came to me, I used my intuitive tools to come up with a list of 20 family members, exes, friends, and authorityContinue reading “journey into forgiveness”
the wall of technology
Way back in college, I was part of a student group who put on a nightly newscast on local cable. I did weather (making one of the most epic bloopers of all time… but that’s a story for another day), floor manager, sports and eventually took on the coveted anchor role. Then I got interestedContinue reading “the wall of technology”
Spontaneous Self Care
Massage, soaking in a warm bath, mani-pedis, yoga, a walk with girlfriends… I listened as all of these were brought into the conversation about self-care. But they all sounded like things to do on evenings and weekends, as if we can plan ahead when we’ll need self care the most. Don’t get me wrong, IContinue reading “Spontaneous Self Care”
Can’t sleep? Try this.
It shouldn’t surprise me as much as it does that so many of my clients complain of difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or getting enough sleep. Yet, as a woman of a certain age, I can relate. My body goes through cycles of waking at approximately 3:43 a.m., my heart thumping with anxiety. As someoneContinue reading “Can’t sleep? Try this.”
Why now is the perfect time to work with a coach
Media headlines are filled with bad news about the pandemic, international conflict, the “great resignation,” questions about whether to go back to work in an office, and, if you’re a parent, you’re probably facing a certain amount of angst about your children heading back to school. So what’s a person to do? Well, some ofContinue reading “Why now is the perfect time to work with a coach”
How to quiet your mind
I asked my followers on LinkedIn to vote for what topic they wanted me to write about next — and it’s not surprising they asked for “how to quiet your mind.” After all, we can’t be certain whether we’re coming out of the pandemic or going into another wave, some of you have worked atContinue reading “How to quiet your mind”
What do you want now?
I recently connected with a girlfriend over happy hour. I ventured from my home, excited to have an evening out on the calendar. My girlfriend met me after her first day back in the office. As we conversed on the patio, I felt calm, focused and intrigued by all the energy and activity around me.Continue reading “What do you want now?”
