  • The Stories We Tell Ourselves. What Do We Know To Be True?

    I’ve been having an issue with time lately. I’ve felt like I haven’t had enough time. Each week goes by and I wonder why I didn’t get more done. I wonder where all the time has gone. I stop and look back at my week wondering what I did. It’s not as if I did…

  • It’s Not Okay

    I’m sorry. It’s okay. No it’s not. A few weeks ago, I found myself participating in this short conversation. I’d say, “I’m sorry”. The person I said it to would say, “It’s okay” and I’d respond, “No it’s not”. In each situation the person I was saying, I’m sorry to wasn’t someone I’d hurt. It…

  • I Heart Boundaries.

    Boundaries are an amazing and powerful tool. Boundaries help you clarify what is important in your life. They tell the world and yourself that your needs are important. When I was younger I had no concept of a boundary or what that even meant. I worked when I was asked to work. I skipped workouts…

  • Noticing Resistance

    Have you ever had a task in front of you that you need to tackle but all you want to do is anything but that task? I have an assignment from a coach I’m working with. Every week that I have to tackle one of these assignments, I delay doing it. Once I finally sit…

  • Accepting What Is

    This can be the worst place to be sometimes. Because accepting what is, means that it’s not how you want it to be or how you thought it should be. How things “should” be is a whole other issue & living your life based on “shoulds” isn’t authentic to you or your values. Accepting what…

  • It Doesn’t Have To Be Hard

    This week I surrendered an issue I had been dealing with for over the last three weeks.  To a few, it might look like I gave up.  To those that saw my struggle, I gave it all I got until it just wasn’t worth it to continue. I don’t know if it even matters the…

  • Life’s Hurdles

    When I was in high school, I had a friend who ran the hurdles. She was a year older, a few inches taller than me and with very long lean legs. Watching her run the hurdles was a beautiful sight. I probably only watched her once but it stuck with me. She raced down the…

  • January 2015. In like a lion?

    It’s been awhile since I last wrote. I took some time off for the holidays and as soon as January began, life had me off and running. I thought it was March that was in like a lion, not January.   It seemed that each day brought a new high and a low. It felt like…

  • Season of Light

    This time of year, during the dark days, it’s hard to remember to be light.  We have long to-do lists and obligations that can weigh us down. But if we look around, we have reminders everywhere to be the light for ourselves and others.  You see the flames of the menorah, the lights on a …

  • Four Tools For Dealing with Internal Conflict

    What should I do?  Have you ever asked yourself this question only for it to be followed by a long internal dialogue about pros and cons, rights and wrongs, what ifs and should dos?  It’s like a board room of lawyers are in your head arguing across a table, throwing out possibilities and scenarios. Most…
