when the train falls off the track

It took my customer service experience from hell today to realize just how far I’d derailed myself off my path of positive life creation recently. It started with a call from the credit and collections office of the telecommunications company I consolidated all my services with last year. The nice woman called to [...]

inner voice earns role as CEO

It has struck me recently how aware I am of a little voice inside of me.  Well, I should clarify that it’s not really a voice, rather snippets of wisdom that somehow float to the surface without my digging.  What has struck me even more is how much I’ve come to trust this voice and let it [...]

signs, signs, everywhere are signs

Yesterday had the makings for a very frustrating day.  Two coaching clients canceled their morning sessions and my first appointment of the day was a total no show.  My morning had suddenly become so different than I expected.  So I sent a text message to a friend to ask out loud what the universe may have been trying [...]

love in an unvalentine day

I walked into a bank yesterday and was surprised by how festively decorated the lobby was in observance of Valentine’s Day.  There were hearts and bunches of pink, red and white balloons everywhere.  The teller that waited on me wore a red sweater with a colorful heart pin.  As I walked out of there in [...]

I got together with a friend earlier this evening who was sharing about the best friend he lost to Esophageal cancer just three months ago.  The diagnosis was made in September and his friend bravely passed in November.  Wow. 
 As I took this in I got more clarity about the emotions that had come up for me while processing Anna [...]

good-bye anna nicole

I felt a jolt to my heart when I read the headline on my web browser announcing the death of Anna Nicole Smith earlier today.  I wasn’t exactly what you’d call a fan, yet it was one of those pieces of news that stung me.  As I’ve been watching the media coverage this evening, I’ve been trying [...]

your mind is not your own

I taught a class last night called “Letting Go to Fly Solo”, about finding the courage to let go of a secure job to begin a career sparked by passion. As the group shared about the mental obstacles they faced, they came to a unanimous conclusion that it came much more naturally to dwell upon [...]

wrestling with a fear of success

www.sanctuaryforchange.com 
As humans most of us experience our bouts with fear.  It’s pretty easy to recognize when we’re dealing with a fear of what we think we won’t have enough of.  You know that feeling of not having enough money, enough love, enough friends and maybe even not having enough cool shoes to wear.  Yet have [...]
