I received a text message yesterday morning from one of my former clients, Laura, that said, “Thought of you when I saw this!”  It was a meme that read… In a society that has you counting money, pounds, calories, and steps, be a rebel and count your blessings instead. I was taking a walk when […]

If you are someone who climbs mountains for fun, or finds other such hobbies enjoyable, you may find this story ridiculous. But if you are someone who sometimes freaks yourself out against your better judgement, and for no apparent reason, then read on… This morning, I went to a different park for my walk because […]

It’s true, I was mad at the weather last Friday. I mean, really ticked off.  Like I spent most of my walk grumbling to myself about how unfair it was that it was snowing in May. I had started out on my walk just fine, but soon a few snowflakes began floating down from the […]

I recently heard a story from one of my dad’s caregivers, Cindy, that demonstrates so clearly how our thoughts create our results, that I just had to share it with you. So, with Cindy’s permission, here it is: Cindy and her husband, Tom, have been married for many years and are very active in their […]

My morning walk became an afternoon walk last Friday. And at first, I was telling myself, “I just don’t know where the morning went.” But, if I’m going to be honest here, I’ve got to say, I actually do. I had two early morning coaching sessions with clients that day, and so I decided to […]

I’m wondering, how are you bringing calm into your experience? Now more than ever, it’s important for you to intentionally create a quiet time for mindful reflection. […]

In last week’s blog, I wrote how I had been stuck in thought of not knowing what to write about.  Now this week, quite the opposite is true. With so many people feeling worried and fearful about the Coronavirus, I have so much to say that it was difficult to decide what to choose first.  […]

I set aside some time last Tuesday to compose this blog, but then I struggled to come up with something to write about. “I just don’t know what topic to focus on,” I thought, as my mind went blank. Throughout the week as I tried to come up with something interesting, my thoughts would spin […]

I was contemplating a situation that was happening in my personal life one morning on my walk, and I was really focusing in on the unfairness of it all. Yes, I’m a life coach, and I was feeling sorry for myself and indulging in the “victim role”. I use the word indulging because I knew […]
