COMPARING & SHOULD-ING Part 2
When I wrote last week’s blog about Comparing and Should-ing, I knew there was a Paul Harvey. . . the rest of the story moment that is so rich it needed to be a stand alone blog. It’s all about how we relate and communicate with each other. I’m calling it the comparison syndrome. We all…
Read MoreAre You Comparing and Should-ing?
Ever find yourself feeling the agony of comparing yourself to someone else and their success and judging yourself as less than? Of course — you’re a human on planet earth. Until we start listening to our inner conversations and stop the debilitating dialogue, Comparing and Should-ing is what we do. How about a new perspective…
Read MoreSharing My Secret Magic Wand!
We’re not talking fairytales here – but I am talking about creating magic. You can do it, too. This magic wand is a pen. It’s not just any old pen. It’s a pen with a point that feels really good when it rolls the ink onto a page – like the page of a journal. Journal?!…
Read MoreMother Love
Are you being a good mother – to you? Most of us don’t ever think about or even consider being a mother to ourselves – just might be a good thing to remember to do. I wrote about this in “Who’s Pulling My Strings,” but like so many things, I find I often forget the…

Read MoreHow do I know my Truth is true – or might it be . . . ?
Do you ever stop to ask yourself if the thoughts you’re thinking are true? This reminds me of the old commercial for Memorex video tapes – “Is it Live or is it Memorex?” Our new slogan might be, “Is it Truth or is it my Perception of Truth?” We cling to our Truths like they’re…
Read MoreI have a dream . . .
This is just the right day to talk about the power of a dream. What does your mind imagine – what is your dream? Are you allowing yourself to have one? How deeply passionate are you about your dream? I’m asking you this because at times I have observed how dispassionate I’ve been about my…
