  • 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…

    Meditation Quote 81:  “Mindfulness isn’t difficult, we just need to remember to do it.”  – Sharon Salzberg

    Ever wondered how to be more mindful throughout the day, always doing your best to be present in the moment and just let go? You just need to remember to be mindful! Simple, eh? That’s what I LOVE about this quote from Sharon Salzberg. But it ain’t all that easy to remember to be mindful…

  • If You Had The Choice, Would You?

    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

    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…

  • What Direction Will YOU Take?

    What Direction Will YOU Take?

    Happy Saturday! I hope your week was lovely. This past week offered me an opportunity. I could fall into old habitual patterns, or I could make a conscious decision to go a different way. The moment of decision was prompted by a sudden rush of emotion – the wisdom of the body offered me a…
