Whenever we travel somewhere, we love the adventure of discovering things that are unknown to us. But most of our travel has been to places that are easy to explore through books and the internet, with well-documented histories and plenty of pictures. This week we travel to Ghana to a small town we can’t find […]
EXTREME PERSPECTIVES – Is the Glass Half Empty, Half Full or Broken
The news is full of extremes. We’re gullible, we’re glued to it and it sells. From the fear mongering of the RNC to the mass killings of lone gunmen, we are being inundated and caught in the drama. I want to make an ardent pitch that we collectively and intentionally switch our focus. Creating fearful […]
The Virtues Of A Little RNR
We planned a short getaway for a little RNR. Up until I arrived, I was wondering if the hassle of getting out of town was worth the effort. Did I really want to go through all the dash and details of getting things done, deciding what to pack, and the stress of flying anywhere these […]
JOY – What Happens When You Seek It, Create It And Live It!
We had another joy filled weekend. We invited family from near and far, along with a lively assortment of friends to celebrate my husband’s return to health. It involved, of course, a party with excellent music by our talented friends. Why does it seem we do this so much and what happens as a result? […]
On AWAKENING – What Actually Happens?
There was a moment, over a decade ago, when everything became clear to me – my awareness of life changed in an instant. I was outside in my garden and noticed it seemed like I was enveloped in an energetic mist – everything seemed to be glowing with an iridescence. I stopped, transfixed and slowly […]
QUIZ: Are You Living Mindfully or Hydroplaning Through Life?
I spent this spring jetting around the country training and consulting – I’m grateful to be back in my mindful living routine. The contrast between these two lifestyles hit me, which is why I want to write about it. Are you living mindfully or moving so fast that you’re hydroplaning through life – just skimming […]
WHAT I LEARNED AT THE LEADING EDGES OF CHANGE!
Last week I was immersed in two very different professional experiences. They both represent things of great passion and expertise, but I haven’t seen them as connected. This week, I have another perspective. They are absolutely connected as both operate at the leading edge of thought with similar values and processes – they are the […]
Finding Your Inner Wisdom
I’m excited to be presenting a workshop on this topic at the International Transformational Coaching Summit this week. In my couching and counseling practice, it is my goal and challenge to help people claim their wisdom so they can solve their own problems. How can I help them do that? For most people, wisdom seems […]
The Transformative Powers of a POSITIVE ATTITUDE
We were in the doctor’s office to get the latest news on Lee’s situation. Instead of a medical report, the doctor gives him an emotional and personal thank you. He tells Lee that he is a gift to the entire office, that his positive attitude lifts up the staff. He says Lee helps remind them […]
FEAR NOT…
In small letters over a massive intricate two tiered throne of silver and gold foil are the words “Fear Not”. It’s one man’s vision of a world of splendor and glory, possibly the world he saw coming, created in secret over 14 years in a rented garage in DC. The artist worked as a janitor […]
