6 Ways to Get the Love We Deserve.

by on May 17, 2013

Ain’t nuthin’ gonna change unless we realize we’re feeding our perception of reality and change our actions that support what we don’t want our lives to look like. Huh? If I want someone to always look like an asshole, then I’m going to treat them like an asshole. I’ll make sure I do and say things which [...]

3 Reasons Why Our Relationships Cause Us Grief.

by on May 4, 2013

Often when we are dealing with issues in a relationship, we look to the other person as the source of our grief. We think or believe we’re doing everything we can and the other person is lazy or doesn’t care. Not true. They may care as much or even more than us—we can’t measure it; [...]

Is it Love or Desperation?

by on Apr 25, 2013

Desperate is the word no one wants to admit to being! Unless you’re Indiana Jones! And what’s the difference between being desperate and experiencing desperate circumstances. Does it always mean we’re willing to do just about anything to have what we crave, but yet, if so, wouldn’t that mean we have just as much drive [...]

6 Tips on Allowing Love to Attract Love.

by on Apr 16, 2013

We believe we allow love. We think it’s a matter of a person showing up for us, being in our corner, spending time together and the right words. We may see allowing love as outside of ourselves. What are their actions? What are they doing? When will they get a clue or stop that behavior, [...]

Are You Living in Your Heart?

by on Apr 9, 2013

Depending on our state of mind, we may find some things “hard to do”—our ego has a way of disrupting the heart’s intentions. When we are living in our heart, many statements and actions are clear. We are living authentically, true to ourselves. Often, we allow what is going on outside of us to dictate what [...]

4 Ways to Keep Yourself Real.

by on Apr 4, 2013

“Be conscious of what you are thinking so that you can always think positively.” That is a quote I read, recently. I’ve come to the conclusion that anything subscribing to a one-way street aka thinking positive thoughts only, is like a diet…and how hard are diets to maintain? Very difficult. Most of us would need [...]

The Truth Hurts? 5 tips on How to Say It.

by on Mar 26, 2013

The biggest issue many people have in expressing their truth is their own inner critic. We can’t predict the outcome, but we try to control it by how we may phrase our feelings to another person. It also means the inner critic will kick our ass if we say something, which could garner a bad reaction [...]

Regret is a Choice: 6 Tips on How to Live Now.

by on Mar 20, 2013

I read something, which reminded me of some folks I’ve met over the years: those who regret. When we live an honest and true existence with ourselves, we’re living full out! Regret has no place. The outcome of what we do isn’t as important, as having fully expressed ourselves. We can get stuck in a [...]

Are You a Free Bird?

by on Mar 9, 2013

Emotions remind me of waves; sometimes tidal waves, but they all possess an ebb and flow. Sometimes, we think we’ll come out of our skin, because we can’t shake something holding us tight in it’s grip. We can try to run or hide, and it makes no difference. When we try to “stop the motion, in [...]

If I Love You So Much, Why Do I Treat You this Way?

by on Mar 2, 2013

Have you ever had the experience of someone coming into your life, in which you share a deep and profound connection, which you both recognize? Me too. Some people refer to these as karmic relationships, others as soul mates and others don’t have a label for it, except calling it “crazy-making.” Even when we walk [...]

I Was Raised to be An Angry Woman.

by on Feb 23, 2013

I was raised to be an angry woman. It wasn’t on purpose; mostly my Mom was just unaware—and Dad, too. When we reflect upon childhood, we remember the happy and the not so happy through our adult eyes. There may have been an overall theme playing background music; in my case, I remember my Mom [...]

The Season of Impermanence.

by on Feb 14, 2013

Why do we human beings use the word permanent, to describe so much? There is no such word, whether it is a job, a relationship, a dog or a cat, the seasons and that crumbling building down the street…all are not permanent. Well, I take that back; the only way permanent has truth is with [...]

Thought You Were Over It?

by on Feb 9, 2013

How often when we have let a relationship go, do we feel an almost visceral feeling of missing someone? That specific feeling, which propels you into a physical desire for action—and then your head takes over, reminding you what a bad idea it is to contact him or her. It could be for so many [...]

How to Make a Relationship Work in 7 Steps.

by on Jan 30, 2013

Want to make your relationship work? First. Stop fixing the other person. That’s right. They’re not broke and neither are you. Complaining, nagging, sighing, whining and bullying will not change someone. Although, they may temporarily give into what you want, a solid relationship this does not make. We sometimes choose the flaws of our mates [...]

Awareness: 6 Tips for Getting Clear on What You Want.

by on Jan 21, 2013

At times everything may seem unclear. What am I doing? Where am I going? What do I want? Who am I? And so on. You may be doing what needs to be done, but producing no results or feeling disconnected with no understanding as to why. Awareness is key to answering those questions. First, let’s start [...]

The (Emotional) Baggage Tossers.

by on Jan 7, 2013

Duck quick!! Another one is coming! Ouch! That one caught me sideways, I didn’t even see it! As I get older, I find the amount of baggage one human being can carry to be incapacitating toward any kind of healthy relationship. I have witnessed it, not just with dating and love relationships, but friendships too. Today, [...]

Takin’ a Chance on Love.

by on Dec 12, 2012

Love is never the reason something doesn’t work out. Love doesn’t break it, everything that isn’t love is in control. Love is just love. Excuses are what fills hot air balloons; excuses are also what we allow to lead us away from love. When I give a reason to someone for why love was lost, it’s [...]

Letting Go (When you can’t…)

by on Oct 8, 2012

Letting go is very difficult for us humans; whether it’s a person, perception, job or treasured item, letting go brings on the greatest unrest inside of us. We create our biggest struggles when we work against life—we fear change and disappointment can eat us alive.  We’ll sacrifice the good to hold onto something (even when we’ve grown out of it), [...]

You’re gonna leave me?

by on Sep 16, 2012

Those words may be buried in your mind and, depending on your past experiences, they rule your future and disempower your present.

Soulmate: Read Back of Bottle for Instructions.

by on Aug 28, 2012

What’s with the word “soulmate”? And does claiming “your beloved” as such give you the right to torture your gift from the universe? It depends on baggage. Or as some people say “the karma between y’all.” Baggage has become synonymous with words such as leprosy, food poisoning, pirate teeth and anything which can make others [...]

The Secret I Love About Men.

by on Aug 18, 2012

  They are human. Their heart beats wildly, trying to live up to some ideal. We tend to believe we are a different species but the truth is, we’re much the same. And I don’t speak for all men or the perspective of all women—just my own. In my coaching practice, I’ve found men stick through [...]

50 Lashings, please!

by on Aug 16, 2012

Punishment of others and ourselves can be a full time hobby. When we feel wronged, what do most people do? One or two things. They strike back venomously; they feel self-righteous and a sense of power coming from diminishing the offender. Or, they suck it up, privately hating the person or even wishing them pain. [...]

Is Love Worth It?

by on Aug 6, 2012

Whether I’m single, coupled or in the midst of a breakup, it has a direct impact on the answer to that question. It’s all about experiences, baby! If I choose to never take a leap into vulnerability and instead watch life from the sidelines…I never get to have passionate adventures to love, fulfill and grow [...]

The Magic in Kindness.

by on Aug 2, 2012

Is kindness a daily visitor or permanent houseguest in your life? Kindness is an essential to living, just like eating and sleeping. Do we practice actual kindness regularly? It’s not about “being nice” (to do something for someone so they “think” we are wonderful or to get something in return), but being kind. Kindness does not mean giving in [...]

Walking on Eggshells.

by on Jun 30, 2012

You can always apologize for hurting someone, but not for “who” you are in this life. You know where you stand right or wrong and people can rely on that, especially you!

Do You Have the Strength for Happiness?

by on Jun 6, 2012

Hey, you can drop that 1500-pound weight from your shoulders! Take off the boxing gloves, the mask, the impossible horse crap that doesn’t belong to you. Most of the time the word “strength” is misconstrued. When I hear someone tell me they possess strength, I find it is often related to what they present to the [...]
