Don’t Push, Folks!
10 Jan 2014I don’t like pushy people. And, I don’t think it’s just me that feels that way. Last week someone struck me as “pushy” and it set off a chain reaction. I’m not a spineless wimp…people who know me well will attest that I have a “mind of my own.” I’ve scrimmaged in the corporate shark […]

Bless You!
27 Dec 2013Bless You . Have a cold? No. Are you cold? Perhaps. As 2013 comes to a close, I re-evaluate the year. Did I do the things I set out to accomplish? Am I closer to being the person I want to be? Did I backslide a bit? Maybe? We create our own reality very close […]

This Free Spirit
13 Dec 2013This free spirit sings aloud, filled with mirth. This free spirit sometimes partakes of dessert before dinner. This free spirit dances with dogs, many of them, all at once. This free spirit feasts eyes upon bold and lively colour palettes. This free spirit sports costumes which please her…sometimes to the amusement of others. This free […]

Rearranging the Room in Your Head
06 Dec 2013When I call this a “Confessional Blog” I’m not fooling around. This week I’ll share a recent experience and give you a tour inside my head; some insight into how my brain works. You. Should. Brace. Yourself. Sometimes I free up space in my head and go all conceptual, philosophical ninja on my defenseless self […]

Sniff
21 Nov 2013I don’t read fiction. I’ve always considered it unproductive. I guess, in a way, I’m a commitmentphobe. A story must be finished to learn what “happens.” If I stop short, I waste time. What if I don’t like the read? If I read a non-fiction book I can walk away at any time and take […]

Life and Death in the Pot
15 Nov 2013Are you superstitious? I’ve addressed this topic with executives in regards to superstitious leadership, but magical thinking applies to so many people and can be used against us, or to our benefit. Because our beliefs can hold us back or propel us forward, consider your own obstacles. Are they real or imagined? Are they helping […]

Play Grounded
08 Nov 2013Lately, I’ve been a bit wonky. Does that ever happen to you? I know I’m off kilter because I get stressed by things that wouldn’t typically bother me, feel rushed, overcommitted and generally out of balance. It’s about life balance. Life is like a teeter totter, it’s fun when everything is working, but if the […]

The Pebble
13 Sep 2013“You can be walking on the most beautiful beach you’ve ever seen and if there’s a pebble in your shoe, that’s all you can think about.” ~ Jim Hardy We all have our pebbles. Small, sharp sticking points that demand our attention. As a friend told me, we can have the most incredible, full lives […]

The Sweet Spot
30 Aug 2013There’s that thing you do. I don’t know what your “thing” is, but you know. It’s the work you are passionate about, that drives you, that makes you excited your eyes pop open in the morning. You know that thing? Maybe it’s painting or writing or coaching or golf or parenting…you get the idea. Your […]

Hearing Voices
02 Aug 2013I think of myself as fearless. But. I’m. Not. About 8 years ago I publically declared my intention to become a crazy old lady in my later years. That statement liberated me. It made it possible to be creatively fearless and do stuff that would make the faint of heart run and hide. I put […]
