This post is dedicated to the lovely Ann Moller at Diva of the Word, in New York City.

How Fast Can You Let Your Story Go?

It’s so easy to get caught up in our stories! The ones about who we are, how life is, how others treat us, how successful (or not) we are…and on and on. I can easily get triggered into one of my stories and lose a whole evening harrumphing around in it – like I did [...]

The Quickening

Do you feel it? Something is definitely in the air right now. I’m seeing and hearing it in people all around me, seeing it in myself. At first I thought it was just me. In September a series of aha moments started to slowly change the very foundations of my work and what I want [...]

There is NO “Square One”

“Oh, well. I guess it’s back to square one.” This is a phrase I hear a lot in coaching sessions and I heard it again from a client just last week. It’s almost always said with frustration and regret. It means that all our good progress has been ruined by a missed action and now [...]

Most of us who see and know the value of “staying positive” keep our thoughts and feelings pretty upbeat when things seem to be working against us. But I would suggest that, buried underneath all that positivity, are some things that [...]

Beyond Repression – Making Space for Your Irrational Beauty

. . . Today, as I continue from last week’s post taking apart the Jekyll & Hyde image of self-discipline, I want to talk about the remarkable parts of you that are trying to get your attention and move you toward a more beautiful wholeness. Classic “Jekyll & Hyde” self-discipline is about constant repression of [...]

Beyond Jekyll & Hyde – Outgrowing our fear of ourselves

When you’re dealing with the part of yourself that’s getting in your way, it’s helpful sometimes to grab onto a metaphor - an image or idea - that helps you understand what’s going on. But what if that metaphor is making things worse? I read a post a month ago by Marelisa where she did an excellent review of [...]
