I talk to women all the time who are, well, sick and tired of being sick and tired of how their life is going. They are unhappy, unfulfilled, and just don’t see how life can change. They feel stuck behind the labels they’ve assigned to themselves. Mom. Wife. Sister. Grandmother. They tell me about numbing [...]
Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time, I did what good Southern girls are supposed to do: I got married young and created the appearance of the perfect white-picket-fence life. We bought a three-bedroom “starter home,” got a dog and a cat, and began to plan for children. When the children came, I turned my career upside-down, joined [...]
What Do You Want?
Tell me, darling: What do you want? No. I’m not talking about unlimited books, a trip to Paris, a perfect relationship or a killer wardrobe that fits your (now) size 4 svelte body. I’m asking you what your heart most desires so that your soul can soar. Don’t get me wrong. There’s not a damned [...]
Activate Your Super Powers
A client told me she was looking for the keys to activate her super powers. You know those superpowers. The ones that allow you to be faster than a quickly-filling in-box, more powerful than a never-ending to-do-list, and able to leap tall piles of laundry in a single bound. I get it. In this over-scheduled, [...]
No Need to “Foil” Easter
Who can resist the joys of an Easter (or Passover) meal? For those adhering to the strictness of Lent, it’s the feast to celebrate the culmination of the season. It’s also the first opportunity for many families, scattered hither and thither to gather together since Christmas . It’s a gathering sharing not only food, but [...]
When You’re Feeling Burned Out: Play
adore my clients from the depths of my toes to the top of my head. My time with them feels like play. I’ve always been a writer at heart, and my time spent putting my thoughts to paper fills me with joy. I love my every day life. Truly. Head-over-heels in love with my ordinary [...]
Make Life Blossom by De-Cluttering & Spring Cleaning
20 Spectacular Reasons to Get Organized, Toss Clutter & Spring Clean Spring has officially arrived. I’m hearing tales from friends all over the US that daffodils have begun to poke their heads up and that spring showers (and storms) have begun to bring needed moisture for the growth of later spring blooms. In the first [...]
Steer Your Heart to the Truth
What do you want? It’s an innocuous question on the surface. A million times a day we make decisions: The black shoes instead of the brown. A tuna sandwich for lunch. An hour of reality TV and then an hour of reading before bed. When I think of that question, my mind drifts to the [...]
Darling…It’s Time
Hi, honey. It’s me, Debra. I know I haven’t written to you since the Valentine’s note I sent last month. I bet you thought I had forgotten about you. I haven’t in the least. I adore you, you know. In fact, even when you’re not directly in my thoughts or at the receiving end of [...]
Falling Head Over Heels in Love
With You – By Taking Risks and Practicing Courage When I penned my Valentine to you, I mentioned that the entire month of February would be devoted to a celebration of LOVE. I’m all about loving the people in your world – and the person you must fall madly in love with (again) is yourself. [...]
Make Peace Not War
The Best Valentine’s Gift Ever ebruary is a time of love. For the romantics, Valentine’s Day is a time of flowers and romance, while for the cynics, it is a red and pink Hallmark holiday. Men and women alike share feelings of shame and failure if they are not in picture perfect relationships come February [...]
Shop Until You Drop?
Now, before you think Santa should put me on the naughty list and ban me from all Christmas goodies, consider this: everything has energy – everything from the clothing that you wear, to the books on your shelf, to the coffee cup on your counter. Before you bring a single item into your home (or as a gift into another person’s home) stop a moment to question its worth.
