PRACTICAL INTUITION Apr 30, 2024

The question I get asked the most is this: how do I access my intuition? Which is a funny question to me because I see myself as always plugged in to my intuition. It just gets distorted when I have beliefs that limit me. When I do the work of clearing out my limiting beliefs, and adopting broad...

CRAFTING A PLAN Apr 26, 2024

We live in a world where we are all urged to plan, to think through future events, and to prepare. We are urged to see what could go wrong, plan to avoid mistakes, and visualize success. We are guided to keep a tight leash on ourselves and to stick closely to the plans we create for success.

MAKING THE CASE FOR LOVE Apr 17, 2024

If you had no limits on what you could ask for, what would you choose?

That’s the question that gnawed at me as I came to terms with the idea of the universe as an infinite supply train of whatever I wanted. I tried to supersize all my requests, but I kept coming back to this one idea: I...

KEEPING THE PEACE Apr 11, 2024

Many of us have a habit of downplaying our discomfort. We feel that a decision is off, yet we push through our discomfort to avoid confrontation. We feel that a path is not for us, yet we move forward under the idea that doing what we should is better than doing what we want. We feel that we...

LOG IT Mar 28, 2024

When you find yourself waiting, what do you do? Are you like me and you grab your phone? Here is what I started doing instead.

I made a list of everything I had accomplished so far today. I reflected on the breakfast I ate. The meeting I led. The people I talked off the ledge. I make note of the...

TRASHING THE PROJECT PLAN Mar 25, 2024

Crafting an action plan is my preferred way to move my projects forward. But here is my secret: I never follow the plans I create. Instead, I toss them in the trash and work my way, intuitively, toward all my life goals.

Here is how it’s going. Awesome. I am currently having more fun than...

THE POWER OF FOCUS Mar 19, 2024

We all know that we are free to give our attention to whatever we want. We can focus on the rain outside or we can focus on being cozy inside. We can focus on what’s going wrong or we can focus on what’s going well. We can focus anywhere we choose.

What I have found, as I have learned...

THE POWER OF CONFUSION Mar 14, 2024

A fresh perspective is often what we need when we feel uncertain or confused. When I am mired in these emotions, I like to try on a new perspective — a new lens — to see if I can find a creative way to answer my uncertainty or clear up my confusion. And the lens I see the most benefit...

LEARNING EMPATHY Mar 08, 2024

Empathy is something we all value, in ourselves and in others. When we feel like another person gets how we feel, we begin to feel more normal. More accepted. And more at peace.

Giving another the gift of empathy is a way of saying, here is our shared humanity. Here is where we overlap. Here is...

FOLLOW, DON'T FORCE, YOUR ENERGY Mar 06, 2024

When you allow your own spirit to lead, you are calling in the power of the Universe to take you on a journey that feels like a slow-playing movie, some days, and like an action-packed adventure others. I am learning to navigate life, at both speeds, and today is a day for action.

Following your...

TRUST IS THE FOUNDATION Mar 01, 2024

Can’t decide what to do next? Feel uncertain of your next action item? Want to move forward in clarity instead of in confusion?
