Office with a view Oct 14, 2021

My kind of office with a view. I didn’t know how it would be to coach from the road. That’s the inevitable nature of trying new things. We don’t know yet how they’ll be.

I wondered if it would feel as grounded and connected on my end given I’d be settling in to new...

Too often we wait Oct 13, 2021

Too often we wait.

:: For it to be easier
:: To feel ready
:: Until we know exactly how
:: For the leap to be less scary
:: To act until we have all the answers
:: Watching others go after their dreams
:: Until we feel certain
:: To share our voice

There’s a fine line between waiting for the right...

Evidence of majestic beauty Oct 11, 2021

It is evidence of majestic beauty, this Grand Canyon of ours.

Truly something to behold.

How you could stand at the rim and not feel humbled by it and nature itself is beyond me.

How you could stand at the rim and not feel inspired by it and all that it represents?

Where do you go in your life to...

You are a healer Oct 10, 2021

it may have taken a long time,
but in the end it did not matter.
after much healing through
self observation she now had
strength, she now had courage,
and the wisdom to wield her new
magic with virtue. no longer did
she run from her pain or her
troubles, no longer did she allow delusions to capture her...

UNEXPECTED NEXT CHAPTERS Oct 21, 2020

I wasn’t expecting the next chapter of my life to be a master class in letting go. 

If I’d have known I probably would have worked much harder to avoid it. 

One minute I was celebrating the success of my beautiful new studio...yes the one I had just gone all in on...tripled...

BEGIN AGAIN May 21, 2020

I am starting to feel like I live in the Twilight Zone. To say I’ve lost the thread would be the understatement of the decade. Actually most accurate would be to say I feel like I’ve lost and found the thread a million times in the past 9 weeks. Can you relate? The work, the gift, the...

KEEP GOING May 08, 2020

It’s Friday. That used to mean something different around here.

I read Austin Kleon’s latest book “Keep Going: 10 Ways to Stay Creative in Good Times and Bad” in one sitting early this am. It was perfect, and inspiring and just what I needed.

Though intended to remind...

NATURE’S COMEBACK May 06, 2020

It’s nice to see nature experiencing a sort of come back right now, isn’t it?  Turns out it’s true that when given a much needed break from human activity, the Earth really will heal itself and allow itself to again run wild.

I’ve read that water quality has...

TAKE ONLY WHAT YOUR BEAK CAN CARRY May 04, 2020

 

A houseful of Peterson’s field guides but I haven’t even tried to identify what kind of bird it is. Watching her rinse and repeat the above pattern while she constructs her nest in my porch eves one flight at a time has been a welcomed sight.

Day in and day out, tiny beak full...

WHAT WOULD RAY AND MIMI DO? May 01, 2020

Sometimes we just don’t know what to do. It’s so human of us. We should talk about it more. It’s important and it makes sense, given our lives are unfolding moment by moment with no guaranteed...well...anything. 

We can’t skip ahead a few chapters and see how it all...

THE WINTER DECK Apr 30, 2020

When my boys were toddlers we spent much of our time at my good friend Malin’s house- who lived all of a mile down the road. Since her girls were almost the same ages, the kids would happily play together all day while we moms passed out art supplies, snacks and zipped costumes on and off...

OPPORTUNITY COSTS Apr 23, 2020

Did this happen to you? Suddenly mid pandemic this word started following me. Opportunity. Opportunity to pivot, opportunity to boost my coaching work and go all in, opportunity to take it online, opportunity to scale. Opportunity to have my biggest month yet…if only I’d dig deep...
