A few years ago, the concept of being an evolutionary was strong in my mind as a healing balm to create much needed change, both in the world at large, and toward the realization of our personal dreams. I’m still contemplating this today, perhaps more than ever as I expand into more of what holistic…
We all have dreams…visions, goals, aspirations we hope to someday achieve or experience. We also have that voice that says, “I just don’t get it. Why can’t I seem to get there.” What do you believe blocks you from your dreams? Two Words that Paralyze Us In my years of coaching and mentoring, there are…
This is an incredibly challenging and yet incredibly potent question for us to be asking. We’re living in times that are so full of uncertainty, and looking at what it is to be a leader, or what it is to recognize quality leadership, is an important question. I also believe that there’s never a time…
To this day, I still get choked up when I read the last paragraphs of the original Winnie the Pooh tales. Why? At the very end of the story, Christopher Robin and Pooh are sharing a moment lying on the ground in a beautiful circle of trees at the top of the Forest. They were…
I have some confessions to make about who I am, and what my work is really about. It’s time I shared them fully with you. Forgive the lateness in doing so, but even I didn’t fully understand that I was hiding until recently. I think the best way to fill you in would be to…
I’ve been wrestling with my calendar lately, wanting to find a “perfect” schedule to allow me to accomplish my goals in the new year! I’m a single mom of two boys who have a very busy school schedule, along with being an entrepreneur and being responsible for the administration of a non-profit organization, not to…
Something in the soul burns. You feel it, but do you listen? Our ego or lower self might seem to know all the answers and just what we are supposed to do, but it is our soul that truly knows how to live. The soul cries to us, causing a feeling of discomfort each time…
I have begun teaching my Wisdom of Fairy Tales class again this fall, filled with insightful, wise women who make the conversation so rich. I continue to be amazed each time I teach this course how perfectly fairy tales and their archetypes help us to understand our own soul’s journey. The soul’s journey is…
We go about our days, often in the same routine, day in and day out. You wake up. You have your morning routine. You begin your daily job. You end your work day. You have your evening routine. You go to sleep. Many of us tend to get restless in this routine. You start feeling…
Nothing gives me greater joy than witnessing the moment when one realizes a spark of their own inner power. You know the feeling. You breathe a big sigh of relief or “aha.” Your eyes light up, your posture changes, your face expresses a new joy, and even your voice might change a bit. You suddenly…
Today’s blog challenge is about distractions. I work from home, so distractions are definitely an issue for me. It’s all too easy to throw in a load of laundry, do something in the kitchen, tidy something up around the house, and of course get lost online. I could work elsewhere, but I like the quiet…
Today’s blog challenge topic is to share my most important actions (MIAs) over the next couple of weeks. By the way, I’m getting these challenge topics from Natalie Sisson’s 15 Day Blog Challenge, in case you’re interested in trying it out for yourself. One of my MIAs is to WRITE!! This is the reason for…
Today I’m doing something a little different. Rather than writing an article as I usually do, I’m challenging myself to blog in shorter stints more frequently, and share more from a personal perspective. What better topic to write about than how I create a day of success for myself! To create daily success, it is…
My mother recently gave me a beautiful gift…a book by M.H. Clark called Fight On. In this Michaelmas time of fighting/taming inner dragons, I have found it to be invaluable! Somehow, it seems to have something to say about nearly everything one might encounter. My favorite at the moment? The very first two pages: “If…
As we receive another year, many are speaking of resolutions, goals, and visions. Perhaps you are feeling a number things that are calling to be created this year. In essence every vision has the potential for manifestation, or we wouldn’t be able to see the vision. What is your vision? Do you feel enthusiastic at…
From an early age, I was very much a dreamer. I believed anything was possible. I felt anything could be created, and certainly that I could do it. Most children believe in this way. They have no trouble believing in the magic of life, like Christmas, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, Gnomes, Fairies, etc. …
We are living in a time of immense change, and while it often doesn’t feel like we can do much about it, in actuality, we all have significant power to affect our future. We have the power to choose. What will we choose for this coming year and beyond? In what domains of our lives…
What does it take to care in today’s world? I mean deeply care, for each other, for the planet, for our homes, for our belongings. More and more, it seems to me that everything is disposable, or undeserving of our time and effort. Instead of customer service with a real person, we get recorded messages…
In my last article, I ended with the notion of finding courage, tuning into our conscience and doing what is honorable. I’ve been sitting with that concept, realizing that in many ways, tuning into, and more specifically listening to, our conscience is probably a task that requires more courage than anything else in our lives. …
