Cultivating Your Inner Circle
A full life becomes full because we have created a life that includes a variety of experiences, adventures, lessons learned, and people to share our lives with. There will be times of solitude and there will be times when we need a strong inner circle to help us maneuver the winding roads. Great inner circles…
2024 A “Flexible” Year
Every year has its share of ups and downs; health and illness; victories and losses. 2023 was an extraordinary year for me as I know it was for many. My recap reel would include: We’ve now launched into 2024! The beginning of a new year is a great time to review, reflect, and regroup, it…
We Can Do Hard!
For the last few weeks, I’ve been recovering from a fractured rib and costochondritis. I won’t lie, it has been a challenge. It felt like everything was hard. Breathing was hard, climbing stairs was hard, walking, coughing, laughing… all hard. However, life didn’t stop. The dog still needed to be walked, clients still needed my…
A New Year Begins
It’s that time again! A new year! A time when many of us reflect on the year that was and the year that is to come. Many of us use this time to set goals, strategize, create vision boards, and implement plans for changes or to maintain successful outcomes. Some of us use this time…
#Be Kind
Years ago, I mentored a group of high school students. We hit on many topics those Sunday mornings, some easy, and some difficult, but we always enjoyed lively conversations. The topic one Sunday was Kind vs. Nice. Cultivating the value of being kind to others and yourself. We discussed how to develop kindness and spot…
Let’s Walk
My childhood was full of time spent at my grandparent’s farm. I loved that farm. I loved my pony Bonnie Bell, the cows, and the chickens. I had rabbits and dogs to play with and trees to climb. Fresh-cut hay piled high in the barn made the best napping spot. One thing I loved more…
Life Chapters: Retirement
Most of us spend years working hard as we move forward in our careers. We gain knowledge, skills, and experience that allow us to climb the ladder and ascend as we grow. At some point, each of us begins to dream about what it would be like to leave our corporate jobs or retire. The…
Be Still
For years I had one scripture stuck in my mind, “And with difficulty sailing past it, we came to a place called Fair Havens”. I have been on a quest to define Fair Havens most of my life. There are times on our quest for peace when the noise of the world becomes deafening. Some…
Life is Fragile
A year ago my son-in-law came home from work and decided to mow the lawn. It was a routine chore, a way to release stress before settling in for the evening, it was also a choice that changed his life forever. As he mowed, he stirred up an underground yellow jacket hive. They attacked. Even…
Riding Out the “R” Cycle
We all get caught up in what I call the “R” Cycle at some point in our life. It starts with resentment (usually due to an unmet expectation), a negative emotion that pulls us toward resistance. Resistance triggers anger, avoidance, frustration, or even silence and we then become rebellious. When an act of rebellion doesn’t…
