I’ve had a really sick cat. (But he might be getting better.) And I’m not beyond being a little superstitious, even when it’s a bit silly. So today, when we got home from the vet, he went out to rest in the grass and I decided to join him as I often do. Grass time is always [...]

Badger on the left, Buddha on the right…
I love visualizing my intentions with a vision board. Seems that right now I’m channeling equal parts honey badger (regular badger standing in on left) and Buddha (up on the right.) I’m still not sure what the upcoming trip of a lifetime will be; interestingly, every day is part of that “trip of a lifetime”, [...]
New space, new energy!
We have a saying in coach-land – your outer world reflects your inner world. So if you’re feeling stuck, jumbled, overwhelmed or otherwise out of sorts on the inside, there’s often a part of your living space that reflects this. I see this with clients – they have a breakthrough and then they clean their entire home, [...]
Five ways I stopped letting money get in the way
I run into this situation with clients somewhat regularly. Something having to do with money is the obstacle keeping them from truly living the wild and precious lives they want. There’s not enough money, they have a giant mortgage, moving to the place of their dreams (often near water) or going back to school would [...]
The Indulgent Path to Money Management
I run into this situation with clients somewhat regularly. Something having to do with money is the obstacle keeping them from truly living the wild and precious lives they want.

Free and Priceless all at Once
When I take the time – when I invest in rising early and getting away from all the technology and to do lists, all the striving, trying, doing, figuring out – I’m always, always rewarded. Two things amaze me every time. The first is that taking time in nature is absolutely free. Aside from the [...]
Manifesting Madonna
Have you ever heard of a vision board? It’s like a collage – a visual representation of what you’d like to have happen in the future. It’s a fun way to articulate your goals or dreams, and strangely, once you put it out there in words and pictures, circumstances begin to align to allow your [...]
A Break in the Routine
Hurricane Isaac completely spoiled my routine – every bit of it. Sure, there were all kinds of productive things I could have done for four days without power. Like write about a half-zillion thank you notes. Or my memoirs. Or a plan for the half-dozen cool tele-courses that are still in my head instead of [...]
Enough – why’s it so hard?
This question dogs me on a regular basis. How can we be so rich, have so much – so much! – and still feel like there’s not enough? Is is because we see and read about others who have so much more? Certainly there are many others who have so much less. I look around [...]
30 Day Challenge: A Surprising Decision
So, I’m starting my 30 day challenge – actually I began it yesterday, and knowing that my focus right now is on time management and accomplishing tasks, you might be surprised that my 30 day challenge isn’t about checking stuff off the to do list. I’m still going to keep doing my ten minutes of [...]
