Expectations
Expectations versus reality... When the difference between those two is the size of the Grand Canyon, upset can occur. In that moment I can feel my heart drop, my temperature rise, and depending on the situation, either the tears start coming or a rush of angry...
Acceptance
Acceptance… a word, for me that would often show up like a daunting sound too far away for me to clearly understand, let alone grasp and incorporate. Acceptance… a way of being with self-compassion I am often tested on. I have been skilled at dancing around the...
Sleeping Soundly
Summer Solstice… the longest day of the year, which of course, means the shortest night. Seriously, can the nights get shorter? So many times my sleep was distrurbed by any number of things, as if the sandman had completely forgotten my address or was testing my...
Self-Talk
Anyone who knows me knows I have a loud voice. And by “loud” I mean several things. I like being in leadership roles. I enjoy public speaking. My voice carries well in a crowded room. When my boundaries are clear I have no problem standing firm with them (which is...

Gratitude and Awareness
“What are you grateful for today and why?” It is a question my listening partner and I ask each other every day and have for nearly 2 years. On some days the answer rolls right off my tongue. Other days, I take a long pause before answering. The “pause” has...
Feeling Stuck = Get Busy?
Sometimes in life I find myself “stuck”. And the more “stuck” I feel the more hurried my human gets. Why does feeling stuck equate to getting busy? Somewhere in my past someone must have told me that action is the answer to everything. I definitely get “busy”...
Intuition
Have you ever noticed your dog staring at the corner of a room but nothing is there? Have you ever turned to say something when another walks in the room behind you and discovered no one actually came in? Unexplainable energy is all around us. And though modern...
