What better way of living with integrity than by showing up authentically. It may not always be pretty, but it will always be real... I'm looking forward to share my thoughts, my musings and hopefully some insights with you, as well. Enjoy! And always feel free to email me with your comments.Display Namenoreply@blogger.comBlogger15125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561927.post-1170959365358438922007-02-08T10:16:00.000-08:002007-02-08T10:29:25.430-08:00

Today, someone dear to me sent me ‘The Invitation’ http://www.oriahmountaindreamer.com/. I had been familiar with its text, yet its power continues to pull me in. “It’s what I seek”, this person wrote me. And my answer is ‘it’s not what you seek, it’s what you be’. This beautiful poem is about authenticity, integrity; it’s about being real. Many books have been written about it, as I’m sure many

So, you know you are great, right? Yep, me too… I’ve read lots of self-help books and done many seminars (I even taught some classes on the subject, myself). Still, I catch myself every now and again, not quite living as loudly as I could…You may have read my blog posts from the past few years. When I started writing them, I was married, lived in a beautiful home with 10 acres of land around it,

Happy New 2007!This has been the most incredible way I have ever enjoyed the New Year's celebration! My husband and I chose to join a tantra workshop as our honeymoon (belated), in Costa Rica over the holidays. What a beautiful country! We stayed at a gorgeous resort with our group of 26 people, all couples. In addition to intensive workshop sessions, we enjoyed excursions such as a canopy tour,

I realized something new, yesterday. Old beliefs go very deep…My husband and I are about to celebrate our one year anniversary. It has been a great year for our relationship. We started off living in two separate households, 3 hours driving apart. Then, a little over three months ago, I gave up my job to move my family of two young girls to merge with his household of two teenage boys. As you can

Yesterday I had dinner with a group of women. One woman mentioned she had been working for the same company for almost 30 years and would be retiring soon. Another woman, retired, mentioned that now this woman would have the time to do the things she'd always wanted to do. It made me I recount a story about the father of my coach. He retired full-honors (with golden handshake, etc) and for the

Yesterday evening I met 5 perfect strangers for dinner. We sat around the table, three men and three women. Somewhat uncomfortable, as usual when you meet a group of people you’ve never met before. But we all came through and had a really fun, entertaining evening. Discussions from fears to dreams, interests in sports and others flowed with fun banter and laughter. Then one woman remarked that

Hmm... I was recently 'reprimanded' for not blogging regularly (you know who you are), so here goes... In the name of vulnerability, which is my reason for blogging, let me tell you about some transformations that are currently taking place in my life. (by the way, there is a direct correlation between not posting regularly and being vulnerable in the public eye!) Today is the 10th anniversary

Yesterday I drove my kids (almost 3 and 6) home from school when their conversation turned into a kind of contest. You know, the one where the oldest says something is blue and the youngest is determined to keep with red. Whether or not she is right- that's not the point! Instead of jumping into the middle and trying to mediate this conversation, I decided to let it ride and see what would

A Happy New Year to you, too! It has been a very quiet celebration at my house. A great time to reflect and contemplate great and not-so-wonderful moments. Releasing this past year has been a great experience. If you look at what 2003 has brought you (or what you have experienced during the year); there are great moments and also very difficult ones. Somehow, this past year has been very

Okay, so I do think, a lot, even if I don't blog... Shame on me... Interestingly, I've noticed that in the middle of the night, when I'm in bed, I can come up with the greatest things to add to my blog. But actually typing them in for everyone to see, that's what makes me uncomfortable. As a coach you always have a certain distance to your clients (at least I do). Even though I care about them

One person answered my question on what greatness meant to him, with : 'feeling the fear and doing it anyway'. My response to that is that while it certainly feels like a quality of greatness it is more a definition of courage. Is greatness a choice we can make in how we want to respond to life? What if greatness is taking the full and complete responsibility for all areas in one's life?

My search for Greatness has begun! Defining greatness, that is. Greatness is a word that's often been used, but it seems to have a different meaning for everyone. When I looked it up in the dictionary it is described as 'being famed for or celebrated for something' and 'to stand for something'. But my own perspective on the word Greatness is that it is more a sense of being than of achieving.

What a wonderful thing! I read a really inspiring email, yesterday, from Prosperity from the Inside-Out. The message was that 'prosperity' comes from the word 'to prosper' or 'to thrive' and that prosperity is a choice that you make for yourself each day or even each moment. And if you make that decision, it changes your perspective on basically everything around you. I was mulling over how

Efficiency! I always think of myself as being very efficient in what I do... But I'm starting to wonder if being efficient taking away precious energy and attention from other areas? Consider this: I'm upstairs in my office, working on the computer, when my daughter (5yrs old) calls from downstairs that she's hungry. 'Okay,' I say, 'I'll be down in a moment and I'll make you a snack'. I save my

My very first posting on my very own Blog! I'm very excited about this! This Blog will be a wonderful place to share some of my thoughts about resources that I've seen that really seem to work for my clients (and myself as well). My own challenge to myself is to reveal more about myself to my clients and allow myself to become more vulnerable in the process. (to the outside world, that is)
