I am a Phoenix

This summer, a very special friend passed away unexpectedly. We had lost touch about a year ago. You know how you just get busy and the connection gets lost. I was so focused on my own journey that I didn’t even notice he was missing from my life. It happens to us all from timeContinue reading “I am a Phoenix”

Where did the time go?

I sat down to make an update to an account the other day but my computer decided I should wait awhile because it was in desperate need of an update. Really? NOW? Something that should have taken a minute ended up taking more than 15 minutes! How frustrating! I have places to go and thingsContinue reading “Where did the time go?”

Enough Already!

I used to have a need to reach perfectionism. Nothing else to say really. I don’t have that need anymore. It took me most of my life so far to realize that if I want to be miserable, I must strive for perfection. Somewhere around turning 50, I gave up. I don’t mean that inContinue reading “Enough Already!”

I have these moments when I get quiet and notice where I am, physically but also emotionally, environmentally, spiritually and mentally. I’m sure I forgot something, but you get that idea. Maybe I’ll rehash an unhappy or wonderful experience or reflect on something I just learned. And then I feel myself in the present. HowContinue reading “You Are Here”

Happy Everything!

Someone posted a meme on Facebook recently that made me laugh out loud. I don’t remember it exactly but it was something like It turns out I can go to the store, buy myself a birthday cake and eat it. Nobody checks. HAH! And yet after thinking about it, I realized how true it isContinue reading “Happy Everything!”

Going in circles

This evening I watched my cat trying to get through my bedroom door by trying to bend herself around the filing cabinet. Let me explain briefly… One of my wall outlets isn’t working so I pulled all the furniture away from the wall to allow the electrician to get to it. I have a filingContinue reading “Going in circles”

It’s Not About You

Have you ever sent an email that you poured your soul into or a whole lot of facts, anyway, only to wait forever for a response? While you’re waiting, a process might begin to unfold…. your head is full of doubt and fear and worry. “Maybe I said something wrong? Maybe I was too blunt?Continue reading “It’s Not About You”

And……Action!

It seems appropriate to post this at the beginning of a new year, since so many of us make new year’s resolutions, even if we do it in secret. Instant gratification is not the friend of the New Year’s Resolution. We are so used to getting things when we want them now in this modernContinue reading “And……Action!”

Get Out of Your Own Way

I had a client recently that had brilliant ideas for her time with me as a life coach. She had clearly defined objectives and goals, including forming better work and time management habits. She really thought these things through but, as clear as she was about what she wanted, she wasn’t committed to taking theContinue reading “Get Out of Your Own Way”

What do you really want?

I recently decided I wanted to start looking for a house. I have been an apartment dweller for over a decade and, frankly, I’m getting tired of hearing my neighbors. It occurred to me today that the question I should be asking is not “what kind of house do I want? ” but “what doContinue reading “What do you really want?”
