I’m going to share how I get in alignment. Now, here’s the thing: Your alignment practices will look different from mine, for sure. So keep in mind I’m sharing to give you ideas and spark your thinking. Let’s start with the importance of coffee I’ve never been a huge coffee drinker. And I gave up […]

Two months in: The truth about writing to my intuition
I’ve been writing a daily letter to my intuition since mid-November. So 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, […]

The Law of Attraction quote that changed my life
“Let your standard of success be your achievement of joy. For in the finding of joy, you are finding vibrational alignment with the resources of the universe.” Wait a minute?! What?! Success = joy? Achieving joy is achieving success? You mean, not more money or that promotion? Not a new car or bigger house? Not […]

Here’s what happens when you complain and criticize
Many of us are on autopilot when it comes to behaviors and mindsets that lower our point of attraction. We complain and criticize. We find fault with others and judge all day long. And we don’t even realize we’re doing it. It’s just the backdrop of our daily lives. You blame your spouse for making […]

Be careful: What you focus on multiplies
What you focus on multiplies. Not sure if that’s true? Just give it a whirl. Hop on the negativity train Spend a few minutes thinking about things that annoy you and people who irritate you. List your gripes and grievances. Think about the store clerk who was rude to you and the driver who cut […]

It’s no fun being addicted to approval
I used to want everyone to like me. And I wanted everyone around me to be happy. More to the point, I was driven to be accepted, to be approved of, to be liked. To be considered a nice person. It wasn’t a pretty picture. Addicted to approval I said yes to client requests that […]

Are you living without margin?
Living without margin means… Back-to-back appointments. Errands stacked like dominoes, one after the other. Deadlines with no time to spare. Everything blurred together in an endless, task-driven loop. Getting through this so you can go on to that. No wiggle room. No breathing room. A life with margin means… a ridiculously doable To Do list sensible expectations unclouded by […]

My trip to the mall ends in irritation and disappointment
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 […]

Things are always working out for me. What about you?
As I say yes to life, life says yes to me. Life mirrors my every thought. As I keep my thoughts positive, life brings to me only good experiences. —Louise Hay I’ve heard many people say they don’t like affirmations. That they don’t work. But here’s the thing: Any thought is really an affirmation. What […]

How do you want to be remembered?
Do you ever think about your legacy? Maybe you think legacy is for later. Down the road. Years from now. Maybe it seems like a post-retirement thing to consider. To be honest, “legacy” isn’t a word that’s ever resonated much for me. It seemed a little lofty for my life. But then I started thinking […]

Tale of two stories (Aka: What you focus on is what you get)
A few years ago, Hans and I were between our old house and new digs. Construction delays on our new place meant moving into a hotel. What was originally supposed to be three months turned into six. That’s 173 days. But who’s counting. That’s where these two stories begin: We were 63 days into our […]

3 ways YOUR poor self-care is effecting those you love
You make cupcakes for the bake sale, take your friend’s late night call to talk about her marriage, pick up slack on the project at work, schedule the family doctor appointments, and generally tend to the wants and needs of others.

Is your glass half empty? It’s time for a Rampage of Appreciation.
Did you know it’s impossible to feel crappy and grateful at the same time? Don’t believe me? Go ahead, try it. Think of something that makes you feel bad at the same time you’re thinking of something you’re thankful for. It’s impossible. Gratitude causes the less-than-great feeling to take a backseat. Which means gratitude is the Tool […]
