Is THERE really better than HERE?
Hopefully, you read the Newsletter last week about Dorothy and her shoes (If not here’s a LINK). As I mentioned last week, it took Dorothy 102 minutes to realize there is no place like home. The bigger lesson here, in my opinion, is that THERE is never BETTER than here. At the beginning of The Wizard… Read more

Dorothy You’ve Had the Power All Along
The hype surrounding WICKED has me thinking of the many lessons in the original movie, The Wizard of Oz. First, there is Dorothy, running away to find something better. The irony of that? She spends all her time in OZ trying to get back home. Begs the question, “Is THERE better than HERE?” But that’s… Read more

A Novel Approach to Habit Change
“You are very regimented.” Someone said this to me one time. It did NOT feel like a compliment. The comment made me think of my dad and his army ways.

Legos and Sidekicks: Train your Brain for Abundance
It’s been a Lego year at our house. Why? That’s a different and longer story but let’s just say my youngest and I have been OBSESSED.

The Bottom of Pandora’s Box
I was working with a client a few months back. I asked her, “How do you feel about that?” Her response: “I don’t know. I don’t want to know. I don’t want to open Pandora’s box on THAT.” I loved that response so much. You know why? She knew the part of Pandora’s story everyone… Read more

Technology Woes and the Rule of THREE
Do you have technology woes? This thing is not working or that thing is not sending or where the heck is that file? Ever happen to you? Recently my email was not working. So… I call my hosting company: CALL #1: Person: “Sorry Ma’am we cannot fix that for you. Here is an article for… Read more

Why do I need a Life Coach?
Why do I need a Life coach? I’ll tell you. The human brain suffers from word vomit. Constant chatter. Non-stop monologue. In yoga we call in, “The monkey mind.” To create order among the word vomit, the brain WILL TAKE EITHER SIDE of an issue to STOP the monologue. One minute, your brain is agreeing… Read more

Are you Done Yet?
I was talking to a girlfriend the other day. She was preparing to go away, ALONE with her HUSBAND, no kids! Whaatt?? So excited for her. But the kids are small, and it was the first time she was leaving them for longer than overnight. She was understandably anxious and frazzled and said, “I have… Read more
