Loser! with a capital L

October 20, 2009

In this video {2:15} I talk about feeling like a failure {yuk!} and how I moved through it. Now that you’ve watched it, what do you think? I’d love to hear about your insights and struggles.

Dear Alex ~ you are literary genious.

October 8, 2009

Dear Alex ~ I don’t know exactly why I’m writing this here on my blog.  I just am.  And I wonder if it was inspired by this beautiful tribute post.  You know what? It doesn’t really matter why… A few years ago you gave me a manuscript to read.  I’ve always thought of it as [...]

It’s time to face up…are you ready?

September 14, 2009

Every time I go to Sunday service at my spiritual home I bring my Totally Awesome {that’s what it says on the inside!} journal and take notes. It’s cool because I have all my notes in one place and any time I need some encouragement and inspiration I know where to go.  Anyhow, here are [...]

I’m really in a groove!

September 11, 2009

Oh my heaven…I’m in heaven! I came over to the Palo Alto Art Center to register for the Book Class and I thankfully brought my camera. There is a community garden next door with a plethora of photo opps. My soul was quite literally shouting in ecstasy as I browsed the twisted aisles of fresh [...]

Book Review: This Time I Dance by Tama Kieves

August 26, 2009

This is one of the best self-discovery books I’ve read and it’s all about “creating the work you love.” She poses this powerful question: If you’re this successful doing work you don’t love, what could you do with work you do love? If this question stirs something within you, then I invite you to stop [...]

What is your heart asking you to do?

August 19, 2009

Today I asked myself: What is my heart asking me to do? And here is the answer I received: My heart is asking me to hibernate.  Don’t compare yourself to others.  Focus on nurturing yourself for now.  Non-action is heart action.  It’s only what you need for now.  It’s in the pause that you become [...]

Are you hiding your dark side?

August 10, 2009

I met Debbie Ford in San Francisco earlier this year as she was preparing for her movie debut.  She has a phenomenal message and I highly recommend this book: This book shines a bright light of awareness into the dark corners of your heart, mind and soul.  Yes, it asks you to look where you [...]

Permission or Pressure: Which one do you choose?

June 25, 2009

“Soften Up” During this morning’s conversation with God I asked him why he was always so accepting of me and giving me permission to feel how I feel no matter how much I don’t like how I feel and he didn’t even have to answer me directly.  In my frustration about his acceptance – can [...]

Are You One Tough Cookie too?

May 18, 2009

Yesterday I attended a Mike Robbins workshop at the Center for Spiritual Living and my main take-away was: I am one tough cookie! Yeah, I’m pretty sure that wasn’t part of the lesson plan, but damn…I feel empowered!  And that was a part of the lesson plan. We did these two exercises – that totally [...]
