  • Surrender The Struggle, Enter The Flow

    Surrender The Struggle, Enter The Flow

    What do you do when the pathway becomes thorny? When the underbrush is too thick to pass? Do you keep pushing, tensing, bracing yourself against the pain, hoping that the end is near? Or do you practice an easier way? Our organizations praise hard work. Long hours are applauded. Productivity is a buzzword. And even…

  • What To Do, And When!?

    What To Do, And When!?

    If you’re anything like me, you have a thousand things going on. So many things that it sometimes seem like the full-time job is background noise, and then we’re off to the races! No time to delay, it’ll be bedtime before you know it! Inundated by a laundry list of tasks for completion, it can…

  • Open To The Moment, Open To Joy

    Open To The Moment, Open To Joy

    Is the tune you sing a happy one? Are your days spent enjoying the silver linings? Does the sun shine on you, even if the sun doesn’t shine today? We all know someone who is always cheerful, always ready with a positive comment or a smile, always looking on the bright side. Sometimes its hard…

  • Embracing Change, Embodying The Moment

    Embracing Change, Embodying The Moment

    We have an inherent fear of change. This fear has evolved in order to protect us. Change, at times in human history, has meant great hardship. Think of how our early ancestors needed to respond to the coming winters. If the changing of the seasons weren’t taken seriously, it could easily spell death for the…

  • Meet The Resistance And Win

    Meet The Resistance And Win

    We all procrastinate at some time or another — even the overachievers. But not all of us see our tendency to do it. Or understand why we do. It just sort of happens, right? We have the best intentions. We’re going to get up and work on the project we’ve been putting off — we’ve…

    If You Had The Choice, Would You?

    Sometimes the decision that has to be made is a difficult one. Sometimes the outcome can never be pleasant, yet action must still be taken, words spoken. How do know when to make the decision? How do you know if it’s the right decision? Especially if it might hurt someone you love… There is no…

  • With Simplicity, You Can See

    With Simplicity, You Can See

    What creates the most stress for you? The demands of your work? Your boss? That guy in the cubicle across from you? When your hubby doesn’t put the toilet seat down? What is it about these things that cause you stress? Have you really dissected the underlying reason why stressful thoughts arise because of any…

  • It’s Gonna Be A Lovely Day!

    It’s Gonna Be A Lovely Day!

    The last few days have brought me many reminders of how truly supported I am. And looking back even further, I see that I have always been supported – lifted! – by so many around me. As a child, my parents always made sure that there were opportunities to grow (and have fun!). My teachers…

  • How To Tap Your Personal Power

    How To Tap Your Personal Power

    We are all powerful beyond measure. It comes with the territory of being human. We are born into a world where we can choose to think what we want, to do the work we like, to live where we want, who we spend time with – anything! Everything! But sometimes we forget this. Over a…

  • Step Back To See Clearly

    Step Back To See Clearly

    Last week, I packed up the car and made a run to Mammoth Mountain for some vacation. What a blast! Up there in the mountains, there was really no other place, no other time, than right here, right now. I measured the days on the mountain by how many songs played in my headphones. And…
