New Stuff!

I just HAVE to tell you what I’ve been up to lately.  So as you know, I’m a coach, which means I get to work with lots of people weekly.  The coaching that I do (Martha Beck style) is very intensely focused on making significant mental changes.  It’s not “motivational” coaching – it’s “wake up… Continue reading New Stuff!

Coffee with a Coach #4 – Healing and Your Essential Self

On my vacation I discovered how truly helpful it is to take some time away from regular life every now and then and really do some introspection.  I feel rejuvenated, energized, and ready to rock and roll!  While I was enjoying the beach, I did a lot of self-coaching and came to some really helpful… Continue reading Coffee with a Coach #4 – Healing and Your Essential Self

Coffee with a Coach #3 – The Law of Attraction

Well, I’m off for a little self-care of the big kind this week – a vacation!  It’s a relaxed getaway with very little structure that includes a beach, a sunny climate, and a day at a spa.  Heavenly!  My husband is bravely trying a couples massage with me, having been assured that it’s very, very… Continue reading Coffee with a Coach #3 – The Law of Attraction

Dare to Care – A Revolt from the Tryanny of To-Do’s

Let’s talk about our to-do lists.  I’m going to use my powers of clairvoyance to see your to-do list…hang on, I’m accessing them now…I’m seeing a list that’s miles long, maybe even more than one list, with more items on it than you can actually do in a day…  Either I’m brilliant or I’m just… Continue reading Dare to Care – A Revolt from the Tryanny of To-Do’s

Perfection versus Moderation

I had to do something terribly annoying last night.  I’m sure you’ll all understand.  I had to look my husband in the eyes and say the dreaded two words: “You’re right.”  He was just in heaven, smiling and nodding and looking quite smug.  Argh!  The truth is, though, that he WAS right, and he deserved… Continue reading Perfection versus Moderation
