Recently my partner Todd came home and shared a technique that I am beginning to love. He was attending a presentation where the speaker suggested that we begin each day with clear, dedicated, intention, looking upon the day as an archer would the target. He encouraged everyone to make a commitment to aligning with our vision for the day right upon waking. I love this! The speaker went on to suggest that you strike the…
When things go BUMP in a big way, it’s easy to get sucked into the vortex of judgment. For example, last summer, while I was joyfully down the writing rabbit hole, I got a phone call at 5 o’clock on a Friday afternoon. The man on the other end of the line introduced himself as a fire investigator for the town where a rental condo of mine was located. I immediately felt a stone form…
Yesterday I witnessed the birth of an angel. Recently Maddie had another vision. This time instead of being filled with mermaid tails, it was of angel wings. Armed with a self-drawn and designed pattern, she spent days fashioning her creation. There were feathers in every corner of the house, some even hot glued to the carpet. One day after a severely blistered finger, a failed attempt to sew a dress from old costumes, and a…
I am authentic when I speak and do what I really want. I want to engage with others in the same way. So please tell me what you really think. Tell me what you really want, now what you think I want to hear. If you are inclined to not change to be authentic, then I simply walk away with ease and grace. There is nothing wrong with you or with anything. This just may…
The mind likes to think it has all the answers. My mind coach used to have a saying that said, “Just for today, I will remember that I don’t know everything yet.” I used to get tripped up on how that thought could really help me in life. I got it, but I didn’t really GET it. When you allow the mind to suspend judgment and to let go of needing to have all the…
Within you, within each of us, I believe there are two “selves.” There’s this little self who seems to emerge from the mind. And there is the Wise Self, who comes from the heart, the essence of you. When the little self is at the cockpit of your thoughts, there is lots of chatter. Most thoughts originating from here include a judgement of some sort, a “knowing everything.” Thoughts usually contain the words “shouldn’t or…
For years I chased love outside myself in the form of Prince Charmings, career and money. I thought if I just…..fill in the blank….had enough….fill in the blank again…I would find sustainable joy and peace. What I didn’t realize was that I was running from myself. All this chasing was a diversionary tactic to avoid the fact that I really didn’t know deeply who I was and wasn’t very connected to my heart. And, furthermore,…
Having to do everything was a power play that I used to do to help myself feel worthy and needed. I would run around and around doing it ALL in hopes that other people’s validation would help me fill the giant hole inside that craved to be seen and heard. I was exhausted. I wondered why I couldn’t get a handle on life. My ego would be temporarily rewarded when someone acknowledged what I had…
