Are you postponing how you want to feel until you get what you want?
So here’s the thing: There’s always a period of time—days, weeks, months or even years—before you arrive at your desired destination. Before the goal is achieved or the shiny penny acquired. In other words, there’s a journey and process to the evolution of your desire. Sometimes—often even— it’s a gradual process. So the only question […]

Two months in: The truth about writing to my intuition
I’ve been writing a daily letter to my intuition. I’m 60+ letters in. And boy have I been surprised. In the past, I would’ve said I didn’t even have intuition. When people talked about this mysterious, wise something-or-other directing them, I really had no idea what they were talking about. If pressed, I would say, […]

Not long ago Hans and I were at the mall on a Saturday to have lunch. I’d been looking forward to the outing all week. Well, somehow we got our signals crossed. Hans was thinking lunch and no shopping. And I was thinking lunch and lots of shopping. I’m sure you know where this is […]

Yes, I’m grateful the library had the book I wanted
I used to say I had an attitude of gratitude until someone called me on it. No, they weren’t saying I’m ungrateful.

Maybe that’s why the quote resonates. Believing the worst is waiting around the corner, seeing the glass half empty, expecting […]

I recently returned from a 17-day adventure in Paris. And I can’t stop thinking about my carry-on. I took a compact 20″ hardside spinner that fit with room to spare in the overhead. In it were my favorite clothes and must-have essentials. Even with only 20 x 14 x 9 inches, I packed more than I […]

Those are the facts, but what’s the story?
You hit the snooze a few times, try on four outfits before settling on what to wear, and get stuck in traffic on your way to work. Those are the facts. But what’s the story you tell? Is it: Once upon a time I had a horrible, awful, terrible start to my day. I can […]

I’m doing research for a new vacuum. Thank you.
I have much to be grateful for. I’m guessing you do too. Most of us—when we intentionally pause and think about it—can come up with a long list of people and things for which we’re thankful. But what about the rest of the time? What about day in and day out while you’re “doing” life? […]

Here’s the problem: Saying yes too often and to the wrong things means you end up drained and depleted. Overwhelmed and exhausted. And, truth be told, feeling burdened, put upon, and probably a little resentful. We say yes to be needed, liked, and avoid disappointing others. We say yes out of guilt, out of duty, […]

I’m not special. You can have this superpower too.
One of my superpowers is detecting limiting beliefs. They’re rotten for your confidence and your future. You know, thoughts like I’m just not creative or I’m too old to make a career change.
