A situation occurred recently while on my morning walk that really made me laugh! I want to share it with you, not because it makes me look like a stable, competent adult (because it certainly does not), but because there is a life coaching lesson tucked inside this not-so-harrowing adventure. One morning, as I started […]

I’ve been noticing lately that if you ask most people how they are doing, they will say some variation of “Good, but busy.” And many will say it with a sense of pride, as if busy equals successful. Interestingly though, I’m finding that some of my clients seek out life coaching because although they are […]

The first month of 2020 is officially over, and we are now into February! I’m wondering, are you on track with your goals? Or I guess I should first ask, have you developed clear goals for the year? If your answer is “yes” and you are on track, good for you! That’s awesome!  However, if […]

The sun was shining brightly when I went for my walk a few weeks ago, and the temperature was in the 60’s. As you might imagine, this is very unusual weather for January in Northeast Ohio. The warm air and sunshine felt absolutely delectable, but the very best part for me was the sound of […]

One thing I really like about walking in the wintertime is that the trees and bushes are bare, and so the view into the woods is expansive.  Every once in awhile, when I remember to take the time to look, I get a glimpse of one of mother nature’s hidden treasures. As I began my […]

My morning walks provide me the opportunity to clear my mind, tap into my intuition and set my intentions before starting the day. This ritual has become very important to me because I have learned that living with intention is everything. For many years, I let my circumstances decide how my day (and therefore, my […]

I have lots of thoughts about who I am and like other humans, I am not always aware of how these thoughts enhance or limit my life. For instance, identifying myself as “a person who loves to take a morning walk by the lake”, is a thought that works well for me.  It aligns beautifully […]

This story is about a man who my husband respectfully referred to as “Wilderness Man.” He would walk his dog in the park around the same early hours of the morning that we walked our late-dog, Penny. The Wilderness Man received his nickname due to his burly stature and the survivalist style of clothing that he wears.  […]

Although it can be impressive to watch the waters of Lake Erie strike hard against its shoreline, seeing the erosion this causes to the banks of the bluffs can feel a bit troubling. I have been amazed over the past few years to see big trees toppled over as the ground beneath them crumbled, forever changing […]
