Just a Thought – What if Nothing is Wrong

This – right now – is life, and our experience of it. Life includes all we experience. The idea of anything in life being right or wrong doesn’t necessarily make it so. Think about our laws. Man-made laws are made up laws (and YES, it is in our best interest to follow them or otherwise […]

Taming Christmas Shopping Overwhelm for HSPs and Empaths

Christmas shopping in malls can be a challenge for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and Empaths. If you’re like me, just looking at the image above stirs a feeling of unease. It’s the crowds.  Not only can we be overwhelmed by the noise and people, but we also pick up on both the obvious and less […]

Busting the Independence Myth

I was thinking about independence this morning, and reflecting on how hard it is for some of us to ask for, let alone accept it. I know I’m guilty of that myself, and while on one hand, I thoroughly enjoy the activity of figuring things out on my own, I sometimes let myself struggle too […]

How Does One Grow Thicker Skin?

How do you grow thicker skin? As an emotionally sensitive person, I’m often told to grow thicker skin. Which confuses me because my doctor has never once suggested my skin is too thin. Yet non medical people keep judging my skin as too thin… is there a supplement I can take for that? An herbal […]

Letting Go

Boobs are sagging Hair’s turning grey Getting a new wrinkle every day… and Letting Go Letting go of being in control, or trying to controlling what everyone thinks of me. In letting go I allow the mystery of the universe back into my life. Knowing how the laws of the universe work, intellectually and experientially, […]

Re-write Your History!

Have you become a victim to the stories of your past? Decided you’re unlovable, unworthy or “less than” because of the meaning you’ve assigned to the experiences you’ve had? Life happens, events occur – we see things, exchange words, experience feelings and then we use our interpretation of what we’ve experienced to assign meaning to […]

The Illusion of Attraction – Part Two

Back in January I wrote Part One of The Illusion of Attraction. In it I shared how the idea that we are solely responsible for creating our reality is an illusion and how impossible it would be for us to do so. Using David Copperfield’s act as a Master Illusionist, I compared how all that […]

The Illusion of Attraction – Part ONE

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard people ask, “Why didn’t it work? I did everything I was suppose to; I made myself think positively, envisioned the outcome I wanted, put it on my vision board, held the right emotions… I did everything the Law of Attraction told me to do. Why […]

Re-framing Failure as We’re Closing Out 2012

Coaching Tip:  Reframing Failure Far too often we can be hard on ourselves for not meeting our goals or intentions. If you did not accomplish something on your list, it is only considered to be a failure if it is a goal you still want to achieve, one that is really important for you the keep working at, […]

Ending 2013 With Gratitude

It’s that time again – one year is coming to completion, making way for a new one to begin.  I like to complete each year with a closing ritual that includes taking time to review the past 12 months to remind myself of what I accomplished, what I didn’t do or get to, and  go […]

Do You See Who I See?

How are you seeing yourself?  As we grow and evolve, we don’t always notice just how much we’ve grown and evolved and who we’ve become.  We’re too close to ourselves to see ourselves as others see us. I recall one day when I was working at the bank (in my previous life), I was just […]

What is the World Telling Me about ME?

 There’s a perspective in the self help and personal development arenas about needing to ‘go within’ to find out who we are, to be confident and connect to the value we bring to the world. While there is definite merit in being able to go within and confidently connect to our worth and who we […]

Time for a “Dream Dump”!  I  know, I know, I’m the coach. I’m the one who’s suppose to help you connect to  your dreams, bring them to life, and here […]

Guilt’s Gift

Guilt and shame get such a bad rap.  I understand how guilt may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it doesn’t usually make us feel very good; it makes us feel small, shallow… like we want crawl under something and just disappear. Guilt and shame are awful feelings to have… however if they can serve […]

2010 Year End Exercise

This is a two part exercise. First we acknowledge and celebrate ALL that you’ve accomplished in 2010. Take the time to acknowledging yourself, your efforts, your contribution, your successes and wins and even the perceived failures as there were gems to be gleaned from them too which makes them a success! Hopefully you’ve been expressing […]

Coaching with Compassion

Coaching is a very magical experience.  And research is continuing to uncover scientific proof – very exciting! Coaching with compassion can ‘light up’ human thoughts ScienceDaily (2010-11-19) — Researchers have used an fMRI to document reactions in the human brain to compassionate and critical coaching methods. Students tended to activate areas of the brain associated with openness […]

Stop Doing…..

I just came across this great question while reading the description of Marshall Goldsmith’s book, “What Got You Here Won’t Get You There”.
“Instead of your usual “To-Do” list, start your “To-Stop” list. Ask yourself, “What am I willing to change right now?” .

People hire me as their coach to discuss the changes they want to make in their lives. Included in these discussions are often the details of what they no longer want in their lives, such as what they no longer want to be doing. But then we usually go on to discuss what they will do instead… adding to their “to do” lists more and more things to do. I really like Goldsmith’s suggestion of a “to stop” list. To me this means meeting myself exactly where I am in the moment – doing something perhaps unproductive or unconstructive – and doing the very next smallest step… which is STOPPING! I love it! Adding to a “to do” list sometimes ends up contributing to the overwhelming amount of things we already have to do, where as a “to stop” list feels more like taking away from the list of things to do – it’s a relief! It may seem like a simply enough reframe, however if it feels better, chances are you’re going to end up with better results. […]
