Something has been happening to me over the last month or so, sparked by my own writing about appreciating who you are. (As is so often the case, I’m drawn to write about what I most need to learn in the moment.) I’ve come to this revelation: My “standard of excellence,” the bar by which […]
Is it Time to Dethrone Your Mother?
Give Yourself Some Credit
Recently I read an article that said that attorneys and accountants are more likely to be critical of their spouses and families than people in other professions. The author said this was due to these people focusing almost entirely on finding errors as a fundamental component of their jobs. In an entirely unscientific multi-year study […]
Overwhelmed? Confused? You May Just Be a Chicken
Do you ever have those ‘come-to-Jesus’ moments with yourself, when you realize things just have to change? I had one last Sunday – after months of working the equivalent of three 25hr/wk jobs, I realized I simply could not continue to live with this schedule. Something had to give. When I initially planned this out, […]

A Mystical Experience
I’ve always had the ability to sense the Divine. I realize that might sound a little crazy, but for me it simply is how things are – obviously there is some kind of God/Source/Divine Love, because I feel it. When people tell me they don’t believe in God, for me it sounds like “I don’t […]
What Do You Really Want?
Sakichi Toyoda, founder of Toyota industries, came up with the concept of “the 5 whys” – asking why five times in order to drill down to the heart of a problem. We use this tool in life coaching too, and usually find that by the time you get to the fifth why, you have the […]
Taking a Clear Look at Your Finances
This might be a tough week, as we are applying our Clear Sight theme to money by taking a clear look at your finances. Most of us try to hide from money and not look at it, because it can bring with it a lot of fear. Though I know this is going to be […]
Is Your Workplace a Dysfunctional Family System?
People hear screaming behind closed doors and no one discusses it. “Everyone” knows you’re not supposed to spend more than five minutes getting your morning coffee. “Everyone” knows that in order to get ahead, you need to volunteer to lead employee teams even if you hate groups. There are all types of bizarre and unspoken […]
I Know the Truth About You
A few years ago I fell in love with an incredible man who did not love me. While a painful experience, it was also one of the very best gifts I’ve ever received. It came with clear sight – at least when it came to him – and there’s few things that have changed me […]
A Near Death Experience and the Westboro Baptist Church
Anita Moorjani was in stage 4B of her cancer when she was rushed to the hospital, suffering from full-on organ failure. It was then that she had her near-death experience (NDE), which would change her life forever, and which, of course, is the subject of her book, Dying to Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, […]
