A recurring theme this past week has been “accept what is.” I’ve had conversations with coaching clients about this concept and their questions led me to search for a better, clearer way to describe how to “accept what is” in everyday life, because I believe - no, I KNOW - this to be a key [...]

It’s certainly a gross understatement to say relationships are complicated. Who we are and how we act are influenced by so many things seen and unseen, and the same is true for everyone else. Relating to others can feel like walking through a mine field. One misstep and boom! - something unexpected blows up in [...]

It’s spring break this week for my kids, so they’re home and any form of a schedule has gone completely out the window. Last night, my daughter asked if her friend could spend the night, and I agreed, mostly because she’s bored out of her skull and the weather has turned rainy and cold. At [...]

Not at all surprising, all the world-wide attendees brought Oprah.com to it’s knees this evening. The site “went dead” about 20 minutes into the class and ‘that was all she wrote for tonight’, as my dad would say.
When you think about it, I guess there’s really no way to ‘test’ for those kinds of conditions [...]

How much of your life have you spent waiting? All of us have to spend time waiting - waiting in line, waiting in traffic, waiting in the doctor’s office. That kind of waiting is part of life and not the kind of waiting I’m referring to. I’m talking about waiting to be happy, waiting to be fulfilled, waiting be loved, waiting to be prosperous, waiting to be somebody. This kind of waiting robs you of your life and is so unnecessary.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll last week! Since we had just a few more people preferring the daytime over the evening, I’ll tell you what I’m going to do: BOTH!
We’ll have two free calls each month - one during the day (might not always be on Wednesdays) and one during the [...]
