It’s getting to be that time of year when we especially take stock and think of changing. That makes me happy, but please don’t just make resolutions. Why? Resolutions are the reason the gym is so crowded on January 2nd, but also pretty empty by January 15th. Resolutions have within them the suggestion of an […]
It’s time for a little levity. I love comedy!The comedian, Jeff Foxworthy, of Blue Collar Comedy fame, is known for his “You might be a redneck if . . . ” bit. Well, I liked that format so much (though please don’t hold his stereotyping against me) that I decided to do a Handel version […]
Remember back to when you were really in love and you felt it, in this relationship or a past one. What was it like? How did you feel? Behave? What did you do when it was at its best, most romantic and delicious? I am stalling a bit so you can really get some good […]
Usually my husband’s jokes get an eye roll or a snicker from me, but today I tried something new. I told him he is so funny. (He is.) I smiled big. I looked right at him and beamed. I was the sun and he was a big, purring cat, basking in my light. In the […]
Sometimes I think so hard I get a headache. And I really think I am solving my problems optimally this way. Upon further reflection, what has always preceded the fastest and most miraculous fulfillment of my dreams and visions has been a shift in consciousness, not thinking up a really good insight or plan. Dangit. What’s up with that?There are multiple […]
It’s time to give thanks for all the various currencies in your “pocket.” You’ve got money, time, food and love. Take stock of the currencies that flow through you every day. Did you know you are the master of them all? Did you know how you think and feel and how resolved you are about […]
I’m going to talk about death in this blog. Since it’s a sensitive topic, I’m giving you a heads up. If your daddy has already passed away, chances are you know you weren’t ready for it. You didn’t know how to prepare or it was sudden and now it’s too late. Hopefully, since then, you’ve […]
I am currently considering throwing a tantrum. My unwitting bosses have foolishly asked me to organize the holiday party. They have assured me that it is “my turn” and that I can delegate all the details and that it’s easy. They’ve even offered to help. But I know the truth: It’s a huge pain in […]
When surveyed, the most popular subject on which you all wanted coaching was time management. So I am dedicating today’s blog to helping you stop squandering your time and feeling out of control about it. We live in an age where you can’t possibly get everything done. It’s time to accept that. But, I still […]
Sometimes I think, “If it weren’t for people, I’d get a lot more done.” Then I laugh, because that is hysterical. I’m a life coach. My job is people. I help people be happy and effective in their lives. I work with other people in order to do that, lots of people. Then, when I am […]
Coaching implies a sideline and a field. As your coach, I am on the sideline while you are on the field in your life, with your people, playing the game. It’s my job to get you really good at it, but your job isn’t passing, shooting, running, defending the goal, etc. Your job is relating […]
This is not going to be your typical parenting list reminding you to get down to eye level with your kids, take a pause and really listen. This is a deeper cut and it’s a little radical, so be prepared. The basic theory is this: your kids are going to turn into you. In many […]
