Hello and welcome back!  Checking in on you.  How are you, really?  There’s a lot going on in the world right now.  If you haven’t taken a moment, a big deep breathe to check in, this is your invitation.  Too often our mind and body are not in the same place at the same time.  We get disconnected and lost in thoughts, stories, ideas that take us away from what is real and true in the present momen...

Hello and welcome back!  This week, I find myself contemplating several recent conversations that initially seemed centered on productivity but, in truth, revolved around the concept of being present while making progress.

 

Sometimes when we feel unmotivated or feel like we aren’t doing enough it’s because we are stuck in a story.  Stuck in over thinking about what we did or didn’t do or what w...

Hello and welcome back!  Whew, Summer flew by didn’t it?  As we say goodbye to Summer, I invite you to take the memory of magical moments shared with the people you love with you.  As I reflect on both the peaks and pits of Summer, I am reminded of the temporary state of all things.  Feeling grateful for the reminder as we transition to Fall.

Hello to you!  How have you welcomed June?  Where are you spending your time and attention?  This week, I’ve been experiencing the anticipation that comes each June, right before the kids get out of school.  In a few days we will be celebrating Carson’s 5th grade promotion to Middle School and this week, Ava closed out her Sophomore year.  The rhythm and routine is about to shift around here!

 

Hello and welcome back!  Let's talk about one of my favorite topics, community. Community is defined as a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common; a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals. Common attitudes, interests, and goals. I love this!  A powerful reminder about the power of our own inf...

Hello and welcome back!  What’s going well and working this week?  One of my favorite coaching questions to ask and sometimes challenging for folks to answer.  Why?  The survival part of our brain is quick to notice what’s not working, where we are falling short, what’s missing.  In our personal life, in our professional work, and in our relationships.  Being present with what is going well and wh...

Goals, focus, time management, productivity, a few buzz words of the month.  Are you hearing them too?  They are all very “January” and important.  Truthfully, I began this post with the intention of talking about productivity. We need it to get the results we want.  But as I was writing the word productivity I immediately felt the energy drain from my body.  Is it just me or do words do this to y...

As we welcome February, I’ve been thinking a lot about automatic daily habits and how they influence the results we want.  An automatic habit is a behavior you do with more ease than resistance, those things you do on autopilot and without much thinking.  I just read a new study on developing habits.  Did you know that it can take anywhere from 18-254 days to build an automatic habit?
