I just didn’t want to work on this particular Monday, yet I had so much to get done. I had a long to-do list for the day, but…I wanted to GET OUT, my soul longed for adventure and to see something new or enchanting or enlivening. I could almost taste it I was so...

EXPOSING THE UGLY SIDE OF SELF CARE
Self-care is a term that has been around the coaching industry for a long, long time. It’s now become popular in general circles, but what does it really mean? I can tell you it is more than manicures, pedicures, massages, and/or treating yourself to something...
HOW BEING MINDFUL CAN HELP YOU SPOT AND MASTER YOUR LIFE-LESSONS
I was stretching, the other day because I had done exactly what I tell my clients NOT to do, --over commit. I was so stressed about having done so that my back went out and life showed up by rendering my chiropractor at a conference all week. How was I going to get...
HOW MULTITASKING UNDERMINES YOU

WHICH IS IT: DO OPPOSITES ATTRACT OR DOES LIKE ATTRACT LIKE?
Most of us have heard the saying, “Opposites attract.” It’s also said, “Like attracts like.” Okay, so…which is it? Take the example of a married couple where one is a tightwad and the other a spendthrift. On the surface, they're extreme opposites. One spends...
