I remember hearing that advice for the first time. Or at least it was the first time I actually paid attention and really ‘heard’ it if you know what I mean. You Teach People How to Treat You It was kind of confusing. I mean, was I supposed to just TELL everyone all the time exactly how I wanted to be treated? That seemed like a lot. But it actually is like that. However, there are other ways we do…
Ever decide you need to do something but then can’t seem to get started or keep going? You are not alone! In this video I talk about 2 big blocks that come up when we find we SAY we want to do something but then fizzle out and don’t. What is going on? Why don’t we get done what we say we want to? Where did my motivation go? Most of the time, if we just stop and listen…
Hello lovelies! Oh boy, if you’ve been following me or the news in general you may have heard that here in PNW we just got hammered by not one, not two but MANY storms! (I actually lost count and we are waiting on another as I write this) A couple of these storms which brought really heavy snow, high winds and messy roads. You see, we are not all that good at dealing with snow around here if I’m honest…
New year’s eve presents us with the edge of a new year, a fresh start! And who doesn’t love a fresh start right? Well you’re in luck. There are lots of different new year celebrations in a ‘year’. For example Chinese new year follows a lunar calendar and begins on January 25th and runs for 15 days. Welcome to the year of the rat by the way! There are many cultures who also follow a lunar calender instead of the…
If you know me at all, you’ll know I love me some books! I will attempt to read just about anywhere, anytime and almost anything! Truly! I was that kid under the covers with a flashlight and then streetlight when I got busted and my light taken away, I was hiding books under desks at school, heck I’d even read cereal boxes if that’s all there was! Today I can offer myself more than a cornflakes box, and I do…
You know how coaches and teachers ask that fun question “if I had a magic wand right here to change everything for you…what would it look like?” I LOVE that question. It brings into our awareness what it is we REALLY want. One swipe of the magic wand is all your getting, so make it count right?! The problem comes when we get overwhelmed by the enormity of the whole thing. Generally, it’s a LOT of changes all at once….
It often takes something BIG to shake up our world and make us realize we have so much more to offer and so much more we want to do. I enjoy referring to this as being ‘shaken awake’. It really is like suddenly being made aware that you were dozing off this whole time. Seriously, so many people just living life on automatic, dis-engaged from themselves and from the world as a whole. But something usually comes around and starts…
Comfort zones? We hear a lot of talk about this idea. It labels a point in our life, or an area of our lives that we are so familiar with and so comfortable in, that we mire ourselves there quite happily. But consider…is it REALLY all that comfortable? A lot of folks will tell you they are happy and are not interested in changing anything, but I don’t buy it anymore. First of all, consider that if these ‘zones’ are…

What is complaining? When you go off about something you’re not happy about with no intention of finding a solution! But there are other more subtle ways of complaining that can really hurt our relationships with others and ourselves! Not all complaining is done in the same way, but it still damages relationships, builds and re-enforces a victim mindset and more. It’s SO important to be aware of our own actions! Is this your sneaky way of complaining possibly YOUR…
