Stop Shoulding Yourself!

How often do you think, “I should have known” or “I should have done this years ago”?
‘Shoulds’ often mean you are judging your actions and your decisions from the past based on the information you have today.
That’s not fair.

“If you should have, you would have.”

With the information you had at the time, given your development [...]

Three Steps to Bust Your Limiting Beliefs!

Only three, you ask? Well, I could make up more if you like but, really, it’s very simple. We just tend to make life hard for ourselves.
Limiting beliefs are out-dated and hurtful habits of thought that are often unknown to you. The impact of them, however, causes your discomfort and discontent. Because they are self-imposed, [...]

Is it better to stay in a bad situation or get out?

Sounds like a trick question. Of course it is better to end a bad relationship and be on your own or leave a job where you are being mistreated and undervalued for something better.
And yet, haven’t you ever stayed entirely too long in a bad situation – a job or relationship – hoping the situation [...]

Looking for your thoughts and suggestions for creating amazing relationships

Greetings!
A few weeks ago, we concluded a 4-week teleconference series titled “Creating Amazing Relationships.”
We received such great feedback we knew we were really on to something. The topic of amazing relationships is so important we just knew we had to offer this series again.

Tell Others How Much They Mean to You

I received an incredible gift this morning. One of the quotes from the E-Book of Wisdom states:

I have been in business now – writing articles, coaching – for eight years. With the coaching, I receive much [...]

Please Hear What I’m Not Saying

As a little girl, I was introduced to this poem written by Charles Finn in 1966. I wrote it down in my little diary of poems. It crossed my desk again recently. It still brings me to tears - it is me.
We all have walls behind which we hide the best of ourselves. We are scared [...]

Bring Passion into Your Day

What makes you come alive?
What are the things that make your heart dance, where time is lost and you melt into the moment? Where does your passion live?
It’s easy to get so busy that you get lost and forget to enjoy yourself and your work. You get bogged down by the “to-do” list; you might [...]

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

For those of use in the United States, this weekend marks our independence. To celebrate, take time to consider the freedoms you enjoy – too often we become complacent and take them for granted.
Running water and electricity are still luxuries in some parts of the world. So is toilet paper.
Be grateful and celebrate [...]
