Hello all. Today is my 57th Birthday. I’m inviting you to a Giving Game where we all win. I’m grateful for every day I have the fortune of waking up healthy, happy, and connected. I haven’t always said that. Thank you to every person (YOU) who takes the time to read and connect. I have an ask today. It will…
Focus. Easier said than done right now. Talent, supply chain, people dealing with illness for themselves and their kids, people unable to show up for work for one reason or another. It’s a bummer or worse. Breathe. Simplify and trust your gut. We’ll get through this. How can we help each other?
New year, new you. We’ve all heard it before, is it really? I don’t think so. When we pause to realize we’re in charge of what’s possible every day of the year, it takes pressure off resolutions, perfection, and the challenges to be something we may not currently (or ever) be. It’s that time when many chuck their resolutions as…
“This body is not me, I am not limited by this body. I am life without boundaries. I have never been born, and I have never died. Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars, manifestations from my wondrous true mind. Since before time, I have been free. Birth and death are only doors through which we pass, …
When someone is feeling attacked, all listening ceases. Regardless of what’s being said, nothing is going in. What do you do? You have to stop and check in. Until the person comes clean and shares what’s going on for them, nothing will happen. Nothing. Regardless of the timing, agenda, subject or deadline. It’s all stopped. To make space to discuss…
Practicing is a lost art. In a world of instant gratification, many have forgotten the value of practicing. Being a beginner, feeling frustration with what seems like a vast divide between where you are and where you want to be. The benefit of doing the work without immediate gratification, trusting the process, and believing in the void of evidence that…
When you catch yourself, it’s hard not to judge. Today I woke up for the first time in a long time with nothing pressing me for my attention. When I say that, I’m referring to work. Meaning, I’m current. What?… When I started imagining what Kevin and I could do with our day, thoughts of cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, and going…
As I contemplate what works for me, incrementally I see gains and who I am shifts with the new practices I embody. Small things add up to big things. As cliché as it sounds, I am present to the gift each day is right now. It’s a cliché I see those diagnosed with terminal illness embody immediately. And even without a diagnosis,…
Figuring out your rhythm is key. During these changing days of a pandemic, it’s challenged me to look at my practices beyond the readily available options. As I realize the impact of travel, “making things work” (my version of overscheduling), staying focused on my goals (and at times losing sight of the journey), paying attention to when I’m my best…
Incremental improvement. I write about it often because until my life went off the rails years ago, I was a big believer in setting great big goals and going for it. Don’t get me wrong, I still believe in setting big goals, but my love of the goals has shifted to falling in love with the process. When you love…
