May 27, 2014 Willingness is a choice. Turns out it’s a no-brainer. Because the alternative, doing something grudgingly, really sucks as an option. When I do something grudgingly I don’t enjoy it, anybody else involved, or myself. And given my high awareness that I could get hit by a truck tomorrow I’m really big on …
Go For The Big Fails
May 10, 2014 Here’s a theory. Granted, it’s really simplistic. And since it’s just a thought I’m playing with, totally unsupported by any science whatsoever, feel free to debunk it with real science in your comments! HUMANS ARE THE ONLY SPECIES THAT DEVELOPS THROUGH ONGOING TRIAL, ERROR, AND FAILURE. This theory leads me to a …
Gotcha! Doesn’t Work
May 1, 2014 We all have a powerful need to be heard and understood. We want to connect, and yet we often find it’s way easier said than done. The next time you’re having or planning to have a difficult conversation, consider replacing ‘Gotcha!’ with the following ABC’s: 1) Assume positive intentions. Seriously, have you …
Cancer
April 23, 2014 I just listened to a podcast interview with Eve Ensler, the author of the Vagina Monologues. This podcast was focused more on her experience with cancer than on the monologues. Here’s my take-away: Many of us will get cancer. If not cancer, we’ll get something else. In 2006, my year of the …

April 15, 2014 Have you noticed that my posts lately tend to encourage you to do something, to ACT? I’m drawn to exploring ideas that move you to make a commitment, create a plan, and take a step in the direction of who you want to be and what you want to stand for. Life’s …
Playing With Grief–Huh?!
April 4, 2014 Do you tend to reserve grieving for the big things? For instance, do you allow yourself to grieve things like death, loss of a limb, serious illness, divorce, loss of a job? What about when your best friend disappoints you or you don’t perform up to your own standards? Do you laugh …
Oops!
March 29, 2014 Next 21-Day Meditation challenge starts April 1st, not May 1st. Clearly, it’s not soon enough for me to be working on increasing mindfulness! E-mail me to join the private Meditation Corner group on Facebook if you want to increase your present moment awareness, start, deepen or stick with your meditation practice, and …
21-Day Meditation Challenge!
March 27, 2014 Doing another 21 day challenge. We did one at the beginning of the New Year and 15 people signed up. Three months later five people that I know of are still meditating consistently and a few others intermittently. That’s awesome!! There’s something about knowing you’re not alone. Or at least that’s what …
Want To Feel A Little Less Alone?
March 23, 2014 We’re all hardwired with a need to feel connected to others. When that connection is severed because someone has been judged as ‘the enemy’, and that includes yourself, it usually has the same outcome—when you’re disconnected you’re in some degree of pain. Here’s the truth. We’re all way more alike than different. …
