Z-List Famous and “Fat”
My kids like to show their friends that I am “famous.” Ah-hem. What I like to call “Z-list famous.” In other words, I am not famous, but more famous that maybe a friend’s mom who works at Dell. But still, let’s be clear: not famous. For some reason, Googling each other’s parents is a sport […]

Don’t Defend It
How many times have we said, “Oh, but she has it SO much worse than I do!” Someone, somewhere ALWAYS has it worse. That is true. And yes, we should be grateful for the good things. Yes, I know. BUT. That does not mean that you are not hurting or suffering; […]

Pain is Painful
OUCH. Pain pain pain. But isn’t it better to CHOOSE our pain? Of course, we can’t choose it all. Some pain is unavoidable. But–which pain IS avoidable? If continuing your current habits, path, relationship, friendship, addictions is causing you the REAL PAIN… let’s take on the pain of GROWTH […]

Resilience
Why bother? I have said this MANY times in the past twenty years. But what I have learned, most especially in the last several years, is that we have the POWER to take control of our own choices right this second. (Yep, right now.) It’s *just about flipping the switch and taking control […]

Cleaning Up Nonsense
Yowza. But how true is this? Unless we are ready to “heal our own lack” (as @doctorshefali says), we cannot raise conscious children. Turning MY nonsense around has been the biggest gift I could give to my kids. Do I still have tons of Nonsense? Of course. But knowing what in my life I can […]

Choosing Our Present
So much of our past is a freaking MESS. True, legit MESS. But that does not mean that YOU are a mess. YOU are not a mess. So let’s stop saying such things. You can’t choose anything that happened. Not even 10 minutes ago. You can’t choose the choices you made… not […]
