Go. Be. Love.
Image
The Beatles sang about it. Rumi wrote about it. Air Supply was all out of it. Love is one of the two things everyone wants in life. We already have such an abundance of love -- to give, to feel, to share. But so often we shield, protect, and hide our love from others. We do that out of fear.... Continue reading

Go Ahead and Jump....
Image
When I was 2 - 1/2 years old, my mom was shocked to see that my dad had encouraged me to climb up the ladder of the high dive at the pool, walk the length of the diving board and jump off to meet my dad who was treading water down below waiting for me. I loved it and wanted... Continue reading

Go Out and Screw Up!
Image
What? Go out there and screw up? Is that really the advice of the day? You bet your 'yes, you can handle anything' ass that IS the advice of the day. If you don't put yourself out there and be ok with screwing up -- you will never go and do anything 100%. Fear will hold you back. In order... Continue reading

When You Have Transition --- You Have Movement
Image
I often hear how people do not like transition. There is a fear of the unknown. There is the disappointment that something did not work out. There is the having to let go. There is the uncertainty of how it will all come together. The beautiful thing about transition is that when you are transitioning from one thing to the... Continue reading

The Art of Racing in the Rain....
Image
I get a massage every Monday. It is my special treat to myself to help me take care of me, to relax, to honor my body and to thank my muscles for what they do for me. Today my appointment was at 12:45. Right before it was time to leave, due to a variety of factors, I did not have... Continue reading

Just Breathe....
Image
I don't feel like I have caught my breath. I am not fully inhaling. I am not fully exhaling. My breathing feels a bit choppy, short, sporadic and not centered. I am in my head a lot. I have been on a bit of a 'whirlwind' lately. Go-go-go. Now don't get me wrong, I love my little go-getter self. However... Continue reading

This is a No-Limits Zone
Image
So often we put labels on who we are --- I am a daughter, a sister, a teacher, a community member, a democrat, a volunteer etc. As soon as we follow 'I am...' with a word -- we are not allowing our whole being to shine through. Those words...daughter, teacher etc. are descriptors of various roles we play in this... Continue reading

Ride on Scooter Girl....Ride On
Image
Ever since I was 16 years old I had visions of me living in Florida, being a radio DJ and riding around town on my scooter. It is interesting how each of those pieces of the vision have happened although not all at the same time. I went to college and majored in broadcasting and was a summer intern announcer...

Life is Full of Surprises...
Image
Life doesn't always turn out the way that we think it will. Often we hold tightly to a vision that was created so long ago of what we thought our life would be like....and when life doesn't turn out that way, we can't let go of the old vision. We spend a lot energy living with regret, with disappointment, with... Continue reading

Truth or Consequences....
Image
The theme, right now, in my house is action. Making decisions and taking action. Moving forward. Getting clarity about the goals and figuring how to make those plans come alive. It feels good. And I am now feeling like a student of action. I am studying what makes us move, what creates flow and what stops us dead in our... Continue reading

Looking for Some Action....
Image
In re-reading my last post about Big, Bold, Beautiful Moves, I started wondering -- why do some people go after their dreams and some people stay stuck? What makes some people successful while others stay stagnate? One word comes to mind: Action. Those who take action are in constant movement. Those who aren't in action are stuck. Seems so simple,...
