It Is What It Is

This morning I woke up around 5:00 a.m. with a tight chest and my mind was whirring like a hamster on a wheel. Late last month, my two amazing support team members both shared they are moving on to new opportunities—which I’m totally supportive…

What Would She Think?

Today is the anniversary of my mom’s passing nine years ago. She came down with the flu on March 29th, 2000 and quickly without warning or anyone knowing, went into congestive heart failure twenty-four hours later and was gone. She was 59. She…

Unexpected Gifts

In 2002, the year my son was born, I felt a soft but persistent tapping on my shoulder to start a free, community support group to help mothers (most of all me) focus on self-care. My plate was full with a six-month old and a relatively new…

Possibility

One of my favorite writers says our job is to give birth to the best that is within us. Part of that process is being open to what is possible. Often, when my coaching clients are faced with a challenge or they’re at a crossroads in their…

Disequilibrium

Listening to my six-year old practice piano this morning reminded me of the past six weeks. He was playing a simple song with a pleasing melody (on the white keys) that ended in very harsh cords (on the black keys). Most of us enjoy when…

Extreme Self Care

After an intense period of back-to-back workshops and retreats, yesterday, I took an "extreme self care" day to rest and rejuvenate. Being out of town (and having staff who had also been away with their families last week), left us all with…

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
