Day After Year

I've been grieving.  My marriage of more than 15 years is over.  I am learning what it is to fall apart and face a blank slate with choices and fears and dreams.  It is miserable and magical.  (credit T Swizzle ;))  And I'm doing it with my kids.  So many lessons are being learned, about life, love, responsibility, self, expectation, forgiveness.  Much is so raw right now that it's challenging to frame it all in a neat piece of writing.  For now, I'm going to share a poem that I wrote yesterday just upon waking in the morning.  The words were there as I came out of sleep and I followed the simple directions and wrote them down.  Little did I know that it would...

I am so sick of all the ‘rules’ that we think we must live by.  Eat this.  Don’t eat that.  Do this to be happy.  You must be thin.  You must be popular.  You must be smart, sexy, important, wealthy, NORMAL, happy, strong, successful, understanding, nice to others, at peace, on time, clean, polite, and make everyone else around you happy, too.  Don’t forget to get enough sleep, exercise, always do your best, use your blinker, be patient, LOVE everyone and always always always honor your commitments!  WAIT!!  You still need a good tan, to fix what is “wrong” in your family, help others, save money, be responsible, and do the RIGHT THING!!!   Truly, the list of THINGS WE MUST DO goes ON AND ON AND...

STRONG.

STRONG.   What do you think of when you read that? Do you feel strong every day? What does it mean to be strong?   Merriam-Webster defines Strong as: 1. having or marked by great physical power, 2. having moral or intellectual power, 3. having great resources (as of wealth or talent).   I think that just describes every woman and girl I know!   What I know is that in order to connect with our strength, it is necessary to practice BEING in our strength.  What does that mean?  It means choosing situations and activities that strengthen you.  It also helps if you can avoid those that weaken you.   Think of a time in your life when you have felt the most strong.  Where were you?  What were you doing?  Who were you with?  Have you revisited that...

Goodbye 2012! Hello 2013 :)

Another year comes to a close.  It’s a time for looking back.  And LOOKING FORWARD.   Are you making resolutions?  Historically, I have not made a practice of it.  I have always held a belief that New Year’s Resolutions were a way to set ourselves up for failure.  I hadn’t heard stories of people telling how their resolutions were followed through and their lives were better for it.  I HAD heard many tales of how after a few weeks (if that) on the new diet, exercise program, etc., that person was drinking in the bar with friends over cheese fries calling it a lost cause!   This year is different for me.  I have had the pleasure these past few years of surrounding myself with people who ARE making resolutions...

O Graceful Teachers

Today I found my peace.   I discovered a new nursery.  A nursery that specializes in native plants and trees that are not sprayed and that are native to our local environment.  It was the most beautiful place!  I wanted to sit on the edge of the path and stay there all day.  As I strolled slowly through every section of this place, I found myself stroking the plants and trees with my hands.  I especially enjoyed the softer feeling plants, such as the Partridge Feather and The GoldLeaf Tansy.  The Tansy also smells good :).  But, I was drawn to things that surprised me.  Like the succulents.  I lingered inside a greenhouse full of them, reaching for this one and that one, just to feel them.   At...

Are You In The Moment?

I do Bikram Yoga.  It’s also called “hot yoga”.    It is called that because the class is conducted in a room that is heated to about 105 degrees.  However, depending on the number of bodies in the class, and the time of day, the room can even be hotter.  Bikram Yoga is one of my favorite things and it is also something I resist.  I love it because of how healthy I feel after I am done.  And when I do it regularly without a break, I feel better in every way.  I feel strong.  I feel flexible.  I do not get aches and pains.  My neck doesn’t “kink up”.  In fact, my visits to the chiropractor nearly cease.   I resist it because it requires a total...

What Is Wrong With Me?

This same question has popped up in more than one of my client sessions recently.  “What is wrong with me?”  Usually this is asked in the context of “I am not doing as much as the other guy” or “Why can’t I get it all done?”  I mean why is it that I see women in the grocery store with their hair and make-up done, three kids in tow, who are clean with matching outfits and bows in their hair, and I can’t even finish my laundry?!!  When we see a person who appears to have it “all together”, our tendency is to use that person’s personal hygiene habits (or whatever) to make ourselves feel awful!   Why do we do that?  I mean, WHAT IS WRONG...

Sit Still Much?

Have you ever sat still by yourself and done nothing?  I mean nothing.  No TV, no reading, no talking, no sleeping, no crossword puzzles, really, nothing?   If you have, then you know that place where time is irrelevant.  Maybe you have heard a quiet voice whisper to you in that place.  Is it God?  Is it your inner Spirit?  What is that?   Most of the time, when I ask that question, I get a response like, “Say what?”  It seems that in our fast-paced world, we have forgotten how to be still.  In fact, people tend to regard stillness as lethargy.  That is NOT what I am talking about.  In fact, taking time each day for “quiet time” is one of the most productive things we can...
