Your Power To Attract
There’s a print hanging in my house of rows and rows of colored dots, each one captioned with a tongue-in-cheek moniker. Were I to count, I’m betting each color is represented in equal numbers. But sometimes, I’ll look at that print and a red dot will catch my eye. I’ll read the name, something like…
Read MoreYour Rising Sign
It feels cliche to talk about rising. The image of the phoenix is played out. We get it. We fall and (hopefully) we get back up. Hurrah. Except anyone who has truly felt themselves rise understands the hype. I’m a perfectionist, which means I’m perpetually aiming at doing things beyond even the best of…

An intentional RESET restores optimal functioning and gives us the chance to begin again.
Read MoreEnough To Elicit Contentment
“I just had to send you a message,” a client we’ll call Marla wrote to me. “Normally this time of year I’d be feening to shop for myself and other people. Like I had to stay plugged so that I wouldn’t miss major sale announcements, but instead I feel totally unbothered!” We’d worked with…
Read MoreRecognizing Progress Is Making It
We live in a highly produced culture. We’re bombarded with shabby befores snapping to swoonworthy afters. The upgrades are instantaneous, only adding to their impressiveness. We expect our personal transformations to happen as rapidly. We want the results now. We want our current discomfort, our hang-ups, and our emotional turmoil to be dispelled in…
Read MoreTrying Grace On For Size
October was my mom’s birthday month, and if there was one quality (aside from joy) that she possessed in spades, it was grace. She didn’t try, she just was. She didn’t force or manipulate, she allowed things to ebb and flow towards and away from her without ever seeming too troubled about their direction.…
Read MoreWhat Will You Renew?
August, with its straw hat and freckles, has taken its final bow for the year. In its stead enters September, which, with its return to routine for so many families, gives one that sense that life is once again standing at attention with its glasses on. The mornings are crisper, the daylight shortens, but…
Read MoreThe Case For Laughter
Growing up, my family took my mom’s cue (who was able to find humor in her wretched MS) and laughed about everything. Mundane acts that were once effortless for her (like showering, getting dressed, eating, and seeing), became exhaustive endeavors requiring no less than three people to complete. It was too absurd not to…
Read MoreFor Better Results, Finesse
When we talk with clients about making small changes that have significant impact, we often use the word “finesse” to describe the process that’s needed. Maybe that’s because we eventually bore of saying “optimize,” “improve,” and the colloquial “zhush.” It’s as much because the concept of finessing is apt. In my mind, finessing is the…
Read MoreIf You Have THIS You’re Luckier Than You May Think
From the earliest age I can recall, I have been aware that health and the energy it affords aren’t guaranteed. That’s the blessing/curse of growing up with a chronically ill mom. From my perspective, health is the ultimate gift and responsibility. It is both my biggest blessing to be in good health, and it…
