I said ‘yes’ to this

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”

form vs. essence

What are you focused on? Are you putting your energy into what brings you happiness? In the past week, I’ve heard the words “form versus essence” come up more than once. This phrase contains a clue to why so many of us feel unsatisfied so much of the time.  We tend to think we needContinue reading “form vs. essence”

takeaways from The Science and Spirit of Gratefulness

It was just six months ago that I awoke to a powerful purpose: to share the transformational power of gratitude. More than that, I awoke one morning knowing that, of all the transformational modalities I’d studied along the path to becoming a coach, and of all the life experience I could apply in serving clients,Continue reading “takeaways from The Science and Spirit of Gratefulness”

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”

How to Work through Imposter Syndrome

I pulled onto the parking deck at my client’s building, backed into the stall, put my car in park and thought, “Who am I to be here doing this?” I wondered what I’d be able to contribute as I felt doubt flood from my throat down into my chest and gut. You see, the nightContinue reading “How to Work through Imposter Syndrome”
