The Gratitude Loop

How to get a Handel on your Magic

We have all experienced the inexplicable. You know, lucky coincidences in our lives, like bumping into an old friend in a remote location whom you were just thinking about, or randomly being offered tickets to a long-coveted, sold-out concert. I like to refer to these supernatural events or mysteries as “magic.” As something that happens […]

Getting Over Myself

Testimonial for Design Your Life™ Online by Andrea King. Launching soon! I came to The Handel Method during what should have been the “happily ever after” portion of my life. I had done heaps of the “right” things and there were genuinely good people, places and things in my life. I wondered why then, when my list […]

The Four Month Flurry

It’s almost Labor Day Weekend, which means summer is sadly winding down and autumn is right around the corner. In the next two weeks, we’ll really start to feel the change. Kids will be back at school. The leaves will begin to turn and just like that, we’re entering the last part of the year. […]

Grow Up and Get Healthy

I have a confession to make. Ready? I can be a bit of a baby when it comes to being a grown up about my health. You know, like making (and going) to annual doctor appointments, stretching before running, drinking a ton of water (does the water in coffee count?), etc. Don’t get me wrong. […]

The Conversation That Changed My Life

I believe it’s important to design all areas of your life. And, I mean ALL. From health to love to money to community to learning to fun and adventure to spirituality, etc. But, obviously, some areas get a little more attention than others, like love, career and money. While others, like, LEARNING, get practically no […]

Fly Your Freak Flag

What’s a freak flag? There really are things about you, traits, mannerisms, a style, which are wholly “you.” Those idiosyncrasies, which are unique to you, possibly irksome to others, are your freak flag. Most of us walk around either tripping on our own freak flag or hiding it. Though, I am thinking, there really is […]

The 3 H’s in Love

COACHING LOVE This Valentine’s Day, let me let you in on a secret: everyone is hung up about love! It’s one of the top concerns I hear from my clients. Yes, even the hugely successful feel like they are utterly failing at it. Luckily, I love coaching people about love, unraveling their thought patterns, sorting […]

2016: How’s it Going So Far?

It’s nearing the end of January, and I have one question for you: how are those New Year’s resolutions you made earlier this month? You know – the ones that sounded like – Lose weight. Eat healthy. Quit smoking. Save money. Be better. Blah blah blah. They’re so common that it’s almost a cliche! Though […]

Happier Holiday Rituals

Holidays are here, and much of this time involves participating in rituals we both love and hate: last-minute shopping, familiar sibling arguments, predictable overeating and drinking. Truth be told, we even resent the happy rituals sometimes, like the hours spent preparing Christmas dinner or wrapping presents. It’s easy to lose sight of the joy and […]
