Are you willing to Risk CHANGE to up-level your life?
After I got off the phone with my daughter Caitlin the other day I found myself reminded of the last time I made a really big change in my life. Knowing that my daughter didn’t have a job, many people kept asking her if she had found a new job yet. When she answered that she didn’t have one yet, the response often was “I would be so nervous to be without a job. Are you afraid you won’t find one soon?” As a result she started thinking that maybe she should be feeling anxious about the situation and so she did. When I decided to leave my husband ten years ago, I had a lot of family,...
Read MoreStop thinking your way through life and start feeling it!
I’m sitting under two oak trees in the back mountain country of Santa Barbara. Blue jays and sparrows are talking to each other and I’m feeling happy and grateful for the hike I just finished. When my partner Jeff decided to go on a mountain bike ride and asked if I wanted to come along my feelings were initially torn. I wanted to be with him and have fun in nature but I also wanted to stay at home and follow my desire to write. So I started thinking, how can I do both?

Read MoreDoes Your Calling scare the S** out of you?
Do you have a crazy calling that seems ridiculous and scares the shit out of you? Do you follow it? Or are you just receiving the inspiration right now and thinking, WTF? I encourage you, like Elza Sakz in the video below, to choose love and trust your inspiration’s value. As challenging as your desired creation may seem to you, it is actually the liberation of your life force energy. If you accept your calling you will grow in ways you never dreamed were possible. It takes courage to follow your calling, big or small. I know as I have followed many callings, some happily and others with...
Read MoreWhy 30 Is Not The New 20
Below is a TED Talk Published on May 13, 2013 with clinical psychologist Meg Jay sharing with the audience how important it is for 20-somethings not to throw their 20’s away as disposable time thinking you will accomplish everything in your 30s. She has a bold message for 20-somethings: Contrary to popular belief, your 20s are not a throwaway decade. In this provocative talk, Jay says that just because marriage, work and kids are happening later in life, doesn’t mean you can’t start planning now. I have clients in their 20s and they are realizing that planning is not a...
Read MoreThe Gift of Being Highly Sensitive
The Highly Sensitivity Trait can feel like a curse or a brilliant gift depending on how we perceive it and manage our lives. Today I want to share with you how Highly Sensitive People (HSP) positively contribute to humanity and our world. My hope is that if you have been believing that the HS trait weakens you in any way, this post will inspire you to change your thinking and beliefs about yourself and your possibilities. In a 1996 study on Highly Sensitive People it was determined that 15%-20% of the population was highly sensitive. (Read more about it here.) That is 50 million+ people...
Read MoreThe Art Of Receiving ~ Stops Suffering
The Art Of Receiving Take a moment and TAKE a breathe in and exhale. Notice how it feels to take a breath in. Do this a couple of times.Now let yourself RECEIVE your breathe and let it out. Receive it a couple of times. Can you feel the difference between receiving and taking? Was receiving more relaxed, no agenda, expansive and natural? Did you notice that taking in felt like a forced action, a doing agenda that had a determined result you were looking for? Were you thinking, is this what it should feel like or was that good enough? It is the same with receiving things, events, or people...
