You Can Be A Life Artist

One day I heard my grandmother talking. Kinda weird since Mimi has been gone for years. Although sometimes I smell cigarette smoke when there is no one around and I think, “Hey, maybe Mimi is watching over me.” But, it was her voice I heard that day. Mimi was amazing in many ways. Full of [...]

Are We Doing What We Are Supposed To Be Doing?

What is life about anyway? I know that it can’t be about how much money we make, or how many followers we have, or how good we look in the mirror, or how many toys we collect, or how big our house is, or how many designer clothes we wear. Can’t be about those things, [...]

Unlock The Door To Harmony

I was dreaming in that time between sleeping and getting up. I was awake enough to notice that my neck was tense, and was trying to relax it. In my dream, I realized that harmony would dissolve the problem, and the solution was to unlock all the doors that had harmony shut up behind them. [...]

What Would You Do If You Had A Magic Wand?

What if you had a magic wand? What if it worked? What would you do with it? I always ask new coaching clients this question, although I ask it a bit differently. I ask them if I had a magic wand, what they would like me to do for them. Recently, I realized I wasn’t [...]

Why Not To Give Into Attention Grabbing

I once belonged to a wonderful organization called The Inside Edge, and in the mid 1980’s I ran the San Diego, CA chapter. I took over from another woman who wanted more time for her business. The lessons I learned during this time were amazing, but one in particular has stuck with me through the [...]

Decisions Can Be Easy

How many times have you been stuck because you can’t make a decision? It can be a little one, like standing in front of your closet trying to decide what to wear. It can be a big one like, “Shall I move, shall I take this job, shall I stay, or shall I go.” Not [...]

Do We Really Get What We Expect?

Yes and No. There are laws that can be bent, broken, interrupted, or made to fit circumstances. Human laws, even laws like gravity, are like that. Universal laws are not. They are the way things are. One of those laws is “we see, and experience, what we expect to see and experience.” We may say, [...]

What the Hummingbird Teaches Us

For about a week this summer, whenever I stood at the front window and looked outside at the garden below, a hummingbird would stop drinking from the zinnia’s and morning glories, and fly straight up to my eye level, and look at me before returning to her tasks. Sometimes, I would politely ask her if [...]

Nothing Belongs To Us

I have to confess, I didn’t know there were two sides to the well know Bible phrase – All that I have is Thine.* I might be the only one who didn’t know this, but just in case you didn’t think of it either, here’s what I have finally begun to understand. I can’t remember [...]

See The Infinity That Embraces Us

The tree on the corner of our street is broadcasting change. For the past few years, it has been the first tree in the neighborhood to change to its fall dress colors. Although the majority of the trees won’t have changed into their new garments for a few months, this tree is already heading into [...]
