Do you want to be held in the embrace of listening?
Do you ever think much about listening? I'm curious, do you listen differently depending on the situation or the person? I asked my clients for testimonials and several of the responses were along the theme of how I am a good listener (pretty great to hear!!). This...
Wanna create a joyful life? ?
I used to have a journal that had an entry for “What will you do today for fun?” I noticed that I would usually end up leaving this blank. The hours in my day were meant for productivity and crossing off stuff on my list. Laughter, fun and joy weren’t...
Ways to deal with Loneliness and Change
Today is the first day of school for my two sons who are 12 and 9. They don’t want to go. And I’m going to miss them. When your kids are little, they physically need you. Like A LOT. Our brains are continually scanning – what are they eating, watching, doing,...

Turning the Definition of Discipline Upside Down?
I’ve always thought of discipline with somewhat of a negative connotation. I like living in a state of flow, feeling “aligned” and doing what feels right. Most of the time, I think my instincts are pretty good. I’ve built a successful design business, finished...
What No One Wants to Talk About
This post was supposed to be about setting goals, but on Sunday, June 2 we got a call that a close family member had passed away ~ peacefully in her sleep. I haven’t lost someone who was a part of my normal life, so my brain and heart have been trying to comprehend...
An Unknown Path…
Two years ago I went by myself to a workshop called Brave. It was April 2017. I admitted that I was unhappy with my career/work to a group of strangers and a woman who would become my coach (but I didn't know that yet). I was just there because I had to do something...
