The Prayer

When I was a little girl, I said a prayer. I asked earnestly to never forget what it feels like to be a kid. I don’t know exactly what my thought process was at the time. (I was quite young.) But there was something I saw in the grown-ups around me that I KNEW I didn’t want for myself. I remember knowing that it was VERY important to me. It is interesting to me that I was thinking that way at such an early age, but I’ve always remembered that one prayer. For the most part I believe the prayer was granted, because I seem to suck at “adulting”. No really. I identify so much easier and more quickly with children than I ever have with...

Reflections On Mothering A Daughter ~ A Mothers Day Post

The following is a poem I wrote on Mothers Day. I feel it needs explanation due to the feedback I received after sharing it on social media. It is NOT my current experience of life or my relationship with my daughter. It IS however from my own life learnings, and things I have observed over the course of time, in myself and in our connection as mother and daughter. I was reflecting on how we teach our children, especially girls, by way of modeling. The "do as I say, not as I do" philosophy never works. If we as women diminish ourselves, shrink in the face of adversity, use hateful language to describe ourselves, and fail to care for our needs and our dreams, our daughters will fall in...

Lunch: Just Food? Or An Act of Profound Self Love?

I had the most wonderful lunch! I took myself to my favorite Thai restaurant. I ordered things from the menu that I’d never tried before. (I have certain go-to dishes ordinarily) I enjoyed soup and even dessert. I sipped jasmine tea and finished the whole pot. It’s like it was my birthday or some other special occasion. Only it wasn’t. No, this date with myself, as magical as it sounds, was what most would call a “Hail Mary”. Forgive me for sounding melodramatic, but this was a life or death situation. A literal Lunch To Save My Life. “Pre-Lunch” my whole body was buzzing with agitation. My pores have been seeping anger and frustration and I’ve only been about 2 steps ahead of the men in the little...

Crying: How It Sucks and Why I Highly Recommend It

I’ve stopped wearing mascara on my lower lashes. It’s become a necessity since I started crying. All. The. Time. Seriously though, there are days when I have put on makeup and DURING application, tears would come. I would clean up my face and continue to apply makeup only to walk out of the bathroom and begin crying again. The struggle is real, as they say. The reaction of most people when they hear I’ve been crying is “Oh my goodness. Are you okay?” or “What is wrong?” or some other words of concern. I SO SO SO appreciate these gestures of compassion and love. Some days they are like air to me as I’m gasping for breath. If you are one of these people, THANK YOU for seeing...

How To Make Your New Year Resolutions Stick ;)

I was talking with a friend the other day when he made a comment about going to the gym that evening.   “Oh Geez!  The gym is going to be PACKED tonight!”  he said with a look of disgust on his face.   His anticipation was of the droves of people who show up at the gym on the first day of the year (every year) to get going on their New Year Resolution of exercising more, losing weight, getting fit...

My Daughter, My Mirror

My daughter continues to be a perfect mirror for me. Yesterday, after hearing some "opinions" about her from another person, she began to ridicule herself, feeling really badly about who she is and what that person's words mean about HER. As I was "coaching" her on how what others may say or think about her has nothing to do with WHO SHE IS, I realized that I HAD DONE THE SAME THING THAT VERY DAY. I received some feedback about my performance that was not favorable. I took it and ran with it, making myself feel insignificant, unworthy and small. I thought things like, "What's the point?" and "Why bother?" and even "If I can't do THIS right, I can't do ANYTHING right." I am grateful to my...

What Can You Expect From Working With Me?

I recently worked with an amazing soul.  It was really a privilege to share part of her journey with her.  I feel this way about each person I work with.  I truly feel honored when someone allows me into their "secret life" of fear, worry, dreams, ideas, joy and longing.  These are things that we all share.  They are what connect us as human beings.  There is something magical that happens when two or more of us come together to share ourselves and grow together.  For that I am so grateful. This beautiful human gave me permission to share this feedback with you about her experience of coaching with me.  I offer it in order to give you an idea of what it's like to work...
