Lately I’ve been hearing so many people, especially women, share how they’ve put everyone else ahead of themselves for so long that they’re not living the life they are meant to live. I’m wondering if that is happening to you. It’s...
When I am moving through any difficult time it often helps when I focus on finding the nugget. I’m referring to the nugget of gold that shines with the lesson of what I’m learning or how I’m growing by going through this particular uncomfortable situation. Sometimes...
Years ago I struggled with self-care. Actually, I still do to be truthful. I don’t always put myself first or take care of myself in the best ways. I often find myself at the bottom of my priority list and don’t always accomplish what I set out to do because of it....
There’s often a reluctance or a desperation that comes when you feel like you’ve tried everything else and nothing has worked for you. When all the quick fixes and promises of success fall to the ground you’re often left with the feeling of not even wanting to invest...
For longer than I’d like to think about, my life had gotten off track. Like so many others, my family experienced tremendous hardship when the economy fell in 2008. My husband lost his construction job. I supported our family with my income for the next year and...
Two years ago my life was much different. My daughter and I celebrated New Year’s Eve in the best ways you can when you have a 7 year old – playing with stuffies and toys while trying to stay awake. Although my husband was in the house, he wasn’t “with” us. He...
So much of life cannot be controlled. Of course, we are not victims of circumstance but rather powerful creators in our own lives when we claim ownership for them. Yet things happen, for better or for worse, to us and for us. Sometimes those things are glorious and...
Sometimes you have to shift your focus a little to see what’s right in front of you. Since my daughter has been little, anytime she struggles to find something I’ve taught her to take a step back so she can get a new perspective. She knows that sometimes...
During the worst part of my husband’s drug addiction, I left. I gathered my courage, packed up our daughter, and drove across the country on the family vacation I had planned for months for all of us to enjoy. I was terrified and angry, devastated and determined, and...
There will always be a million perfectly good reasons why you can’t do something. Reasons why it’s not the right time, you aren’t ready, you don’t know how, or reasons and thoughts about what others would say or think. The list is endless....
In my work with clients, I help so many people to live with more authenticity, transparency, and truth. I teach them how to shine light on their shadows, take off the masks, and get real with themselves so they can stand tall in who they are and what they’ve...
Sometimes we have to learn things the hard way. The painful way. Most often it happens when we’ve been ignoring the whispers within that we’ve chosen to disregard. You see we are always receiving guidance – thoughts, gut feelings, strange...
Today I want to share a I lesson I’ve been going through in my own life: making your dreams come true. We can all relate to the feeling of wanting more for ourselves. The pull toward it and the resistance of it at the same time. It’s fascinating and...
So much goodness has been showing up lately. There have been so many different opportunities presenting themselves in the last two months especially, that mirror back to me how I am showing up in the world (and what I’m asking for). So many different...
Here’s the thing. Sometimes life sucks. Big time.You know what I’m talking about. There are times when you can work your tail off and it looks as though you have nothing to show for it. There are times when you do everything you think you are supposed...
Permission is a funny thing. When we are little, we long for permission as if it is connected to our ultimate joy or survival. We rely upon someone outside ourselves to provide the guidance for what is best for us, to help us do the right thing and keep us from harm....
I’d like to be transparent with you, if I could. This last year I’ve been taking a really close look at myself, my life, and what I want to experience moving forward. Much of what I found I am grateful for – there is so much to be thankful for in my life despite any...
This morning I was thinking back to the time years ago when I was breastfeeding my daughter. Without being anyone different than who I was, simply by offering what was inside of me, I was able to nourish and sustain a beautiful soul. Sure, it took some time to figure...
Crazy as it seems, we’re halfway through January already. If you’re like most people who set resolutions at the beginning of the new year, chances are that your will power is getting a bit shaky around now. If you’ve started to falter a bit,...
I had to take my cat, Hobo, to the vet yesterday. But he also reminded me of a great lesson yesterday I wanted to share with you. He was showing all the signs of something being wrong – I called the vet and got ready to go. Here’s where my lesson...
