Most people can IMMEDIATELY think of something —even if it feels “unusual” or not clearly explainable. It is often a restaurant, a small shop, or a place you felt immediately “home” but didn’t know why. Envy isn’t necessarily a “bad” thing.

Nourishment is a prerequisite for transformation. Being the best possible parent, spouse, friend, doctor, colleague, and contributor to a better world are not possible from a place of depletion.

There are many ways to nourish yourself. Healthy food is but one.

Mindfulness and coaching allow me to see this and then to live it with those I love. It is especially helpful in my neurodiverse marriage and with my mother.

Once again I am back to my guiding words for 2021– love, abundance, grounded, and proud.

When I chose these words I did not understand how they would —and should —seep deeply into every nook and cranny of my life.

When transforming, and becoming and unbecoming, is approached NOT from a place of pushing or throttling, but from a place of gentleness and kindness to self, a place of embracing who you are, where you have been and how far you have come — that’s where the magic happens.

If you are "addicted to worrying", you are in good company. What could your life look like if you stopped this bad habit? Just like other addictions, it comes at a GREAT cost.

Grounded was another of my words for 2021.

I have been intentionally grounding the last two weeks.

Mindful coaching is a breath of fresh air for your brain. It allows you to take a breath of fresh air.

When you let go of what doesn't serve you you have more space to breathe and think. And then you can show up as a breath of fresh air in your life - for yourself and your loved ones.

Mindfulness and mind management offers mental space and the opportunity to discover a path forward. Even in the midst of uncertainty and change.

In times such as now, when so much is out of our control, we can still deliberately choose and practice thoughts that cultivate calm.
Calming and useful thoughts that may help…

"I have learned how to be in the present.

How? asked the boy.
