I Am a Social Activist

This past Sunday my son and I stumbled upon Lady Gaga's new Born This Way initiative, launched recently at Harvard, which focuses on  heightening understanding around bullying and promoting a more compassionate society. It spurred a great…

Slow Down You Move Too Fast!

This weekend I found myself frequently humming, "Slow down, you move too fast ..." Lately, it feels like life is moving too fast. A month feels like a week--a week, like a day. Saturday night we really felt the effects of this. My…

Why Can’t I Sit Still?

I finished the first draft of the manuscript for my new book on Friday (more to come on this fruitful journey and the gifts that came from the last several months). In many ways, the work is just beginning, but I’m committed to stopping…

Curiosity

Last month my husband and I had a session with a parenting coach. My almost ten-year old has hit adolescence and it's taken us by surprise (we thought we had a few more years before he started asking for the car keys!). She shared that…

A New Simplicity

I attended an awesome women’s retreat yesterday with the fabulous Anita Johnson and the divine Elissa Shapiro. What came through loud and clear for me at the retreat was a desire to yes, simplify and do less (read more), but also to use…

Gifts from 2011

As we move into 2012, I find myself feeling more quiet and at ease than I have in many years past. While there are many wonderful things coming to fruition around my work, more than anything, I'm just content with being with what is. And…

Reflecting

It's Thursday morning, December 29th. I'm sitting in front of our fireplace in my floral pajamas with a mug of chamomile tea and an inspirational Osho Zen card deck. I've arranged for my son to attend an all-day winter nature camp so I can…

What Really Matters?

Yesterday morning I found myself standing at my open front door staring out at a beautiful oak tree. Bathed in sunlight, I held a cup of lemon ginger tea in one hand and my to-do list in the other. I was waiting for a friend that I was helping…

Do It Different

Over the past two weekends I saw some amazing art at E.A.S.T. (I feel so lucky to live in Austin--a progressive oasis in the center of Texas; our tourism plug for years was "Austin, what the rest of the country had in mind!") Having the opportunity…

Surrendering

This past week I participated in an amazing one-day conference for 2000 women.  It was an inaugural event and I was delivering the closing keynote, a workshop session to 300 women, my organization was staffing/working a booth and I was signed…

Shifting

Friday I got triggered. One of my team members told me they wouldn’t be available to help me this week as I prepare for several major events. I translated this into “I’m not supported in the world." And I immediately felt a strong…

More Harmony, Please

,
This past week was a doozy. It seemed everywhere I turned—clients, friends, school, family, businesses—people were in disequilibrium. On a personal note, it makes sense that I would experience some resistance given that on top of our…
