What is your expectation?

You may have heard that you get what you expect. Often our expectations go unexamined.

Recognize Your Creativity

I was talking with a coaching client a few days ago and asked how she demonstrates her creativity. She said she didn’t–she doesn’t paint or draw or write books or play an instrument. Often we think those kinds of things are the only ways we can experience our creativity. I reminded her that she has [...]

Ego is Good

The ego or fearful self is not “bad,” it is contrast. If everything in the world was tan and flat you could not discern shapes or experience the world. Without dark you cannot know the experience of light. Without fear you cannot know the experience of peace. Anything in your life that you push against or [...]

Intentional Resting

Today I found a very interesting website: intentionalresting.com. I highly recommend you check it out. There is a very good, short, video, and a longer audio, that explain the process in detail. The basic premise is that, for anything that is bothering you, you say (aloud or in your head), “I am resting into my [...]

Some Can Only Hear You

I was listening to an interview with the amazing Les Brown last night, and he reminded me of something very important. Each of us has a message to share, and there are some people who can only hear that message from you. Les was sharing how a man had come to one of his presentations [...]

They said 75% of Americans are overweight, and were attributing it, in part, to larger portion sizes encouraged by larger plates (apparently dinner plates used to be 9 inches and now they are 12).

What do people say about you?

How much deliberate intention do you put into radiating who you really are? Have you selected the specific qualities you want to BE is such a powerful way that you project those qualities easily to those you interact with?

Who do you want to BE today?

I just finished reading “When Fish Fly: Lessons for Creating a Vital and Energized Workplace” by John Yokoyama and Joseph Michelli. It’s the story of how a lowly fish market became “world famous” by deciding that was who they were going to be.

An Abundance of Strawberries

Steve and I went to the local farmer’s market this morning and came home with fresh organic strawberries, blackberries, peaches, red potatoes, tomatoes, yellow squash, and a huge Texas sweet onion. I love buying produce that was grown just a few miles from here, supporting local farmers and their organic ways. When we got home I [...]
