Letting Go

I just returned from leading an amazing three day Self Renewal Retreat for Women from around the U.S. at the Crossings and am wiped out! (If you attend retreats--thank your retreat leaders profusely--retreats are wonderful transformative experiences…

Support

As much as I am an advocate of asking for and receiving help (and getting support), I stumble often and see how natural my tendency is to still go it alone. Recently I had the luxury of meeting with an amazing executive coach about honing a…

Perception

One of my favorite quotes is "Don't believe everything you think." Author/speaker/spiritual teacher Byron Katie (http://www.thework.com/) tells a great story about an experience she had at a busy airport restroom. She waited in line and finally…

Listening

Last night was the first time I've slept through the night in quite a while. For the greater part of the last 30 days I have been waking up abruptly every night between 3 and 4 a.m. and have not been able to go back to sleep. Yes, I'm exhausted…

Busy-ness

We recently returned from our visit to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. The trip was wonderful in many ways --though not very relaxing (as those of you with young, very active kids know). But overall, I was really grateful for…

My six-week writing sabbatical devoted to Everyday Spirituality is winding down as my family and I prepare to head to the Olympic Peninsula before my little one starts first grade later this month. The experience has given me so many things…

Everyday Spirituality

So, I have shared with many of you that I'm on a six-week writing sabbatical. (I'm a big believer in claiming "chunks" of time for creative endeavors--truly the only way you're really able to play with an idea on a deeper level!). After…

Balancing Being and Doing

“Life is not a thing to be managed. It’s a mystery to be lived.” Anonymous I am in the process of birthing a new way of being. And, like most births, it’s messy and not easy. Although many would look at my life and exclaim how…
SELF-CARE

Seasoning

I started a six-week writing sabbatical--basically dedicating 4 hours/day to writing about and exploring a theme that has been sitting with me for over a year--on Monday June 30th. I have been planning since January--moving client appointments…

Mindfulness

All last week I started my mornings walking around the Town Lake hike and bike trail in Austin, alone. Being such an extrovert, I typically walk with a partner and use this early morning time for walk/talk meetings or rare windows to connect…
