Throughout all my work, I advocate that you begin to practice new ideas. Take any idea that you want to be true, say it enough times, and it has a way of becoming true for you. I do this all the time now as I seek to create new ideas of who I am and what my future looks like.
Yet one idea kept...
Have you ever wondered why home feels so good? Why we often heave a sigh of relief when we get back home? Why we sleep better, feel better, and do better when we are anchored in our homes?
Home, for me, is the space where I can truly be myself. Not that I have to pretend in other areas of my...
The holidays naturally trigger our own personal expectations, which often are far loftier than the holiday season can deliver for us. So I decided to create a few rules to help me, and those I love, have a fabulous holiday.
The joy of the holiday season doesn’t end with gift giving. Instead, it starts on the day we exchange gifts. The days after that are the true holidays as we relax into being together, days off, and family time.
Yet the gift giving day gets most of our attention. I suppose that’s...
In the last post, we redefined success to focus on the moments. We boldly reclaimed our power to define success for ourselves, and then created a definition that empowered us, instead of a definition that fatigues us. And that fatigue is the topic for today.
Fatigue is an indicator that we are...
Believing in yourself, and your ability to know, is a key element of a successful life. How can you know that you have achieved success, however, until you define success? So today I am writing about my personal definition of success.
Believing in yourself, and your ability to know, is a key...
What if our thoughts were visible?
What if they took on the form of a cloud, whose size would reveal how often you had that thought?
What if a single idea was like a strand of cotton candy that adhered together with like ideas until the group of ideas was a sticky mess?
That’s how I see...
When life presents you with options, my preferred means of progressing is to ask myself, what is the best course of action for me? Which path benefits me? Which option will lead to greater joy for me?
I ask these questions not because I am selfish. I ask these questions because the only...
I have found, in life, that I often don’t realize that I have turned the page until I am well past the day when I turned the page.
I don’t recall the day I broke the habit of tuning out my inner wisdom, but I do recall the days after. I recall the knowing that I was ok exactly as I...
We all have a piece of ourselves that we keep for us. A private inner voice that we reserve for ourselves, when we need to tune out our surroundings and find a source of inner strength. I personally find mine through writing, and I am learning to access it all throughout my day.
This piece of me,...
Happy Black Friday, the day when we all rush out to seek the best deals for our holiday shopping needs.
What if we all dropped the pretense of needing to shop, and instead embraced the fun of gifting?
Remember, back in the day, when it was fun to give a gift? Where we got all excited and had a...
Being generous with your time is one way to give to others. Being generous with the ideas you hold for others is yet another way. Being generous to yourself and others, at the same time, creates some real magic.
Holding a positive expectation of success, for another, is a gift. Holding...
