How Would You like to Be Remembered?

Posted in Life Coaching

As most of you know, a dear friend of mine passed away about two months ago. Grief can be a tricky little bugger that seems to subside for days and then creeps up out of nowhere. While life does move on, I find myself still thinking of my friend often, and am continuously learning new [...]

Fact Vs. Fiction

Posted in Life Coaching

The scale has a number on it—or that number means I’m disgusting. She made a comment—or her comment must mean I’m a horrible person.

What Really Matters

How do we make sense of things that just don’t make sense? A dear friend of almost eight years, passed away last week. He died in his sleep. He was 49. He had two little girls. I have not felt like myself since I heard the news. I’ve been looking for the magic, searching for [...]

You Spot it, You Got it

Posted in Life Coaching

Other people’s behavior at times can get under our skin (or our thoughts about it anyway). My guess is it’s happened to just about all of us more than a few times over the years. “He’s so opinionated, she’s so quick to judge, so-and-so is so selfish”—catch my drift?
