A Gentle Tool To Reflect On Your Year
Here we are at the end of a year and a decade, the perfect time to take a few minutes to use a gentle tool to reflect on your year. Perhaps you already journal, practice gratitude, look for the lessons of the past year or create an affirmation or word for the coming year. The tool I’m offering today is a little different than any of those valuable practices, and it can be used by children as well as adults anytime and every day if you like. I can’t take credit for thinking of this tool. I learned it from a friend’s Dad over a game of Bananagrams at Thanksgiving time. (You...
Read MoreBack To Basics: 10 Spiritual Laws To Remember and Practice
I had a session with a client recently and at one point we were talking about her meditation practice. She’s only been practicing for a short time, but she’s doing it daily and seeing the benefits. However, at this session, she mentioned her difficulty in “getting rid of her thoughts” and “getting her mind to be quiet.” We talked about how this is not really how the mind is built, nor is it a realistic goal of meditation.

And it’s not because you’re not good enough or there’s too many people doing the same thing, that or you need to learn...
Read MoreHow Dare I Be A Life Coach?
Really, who am I to dare to be a life coach? This question popped up sideways recently when I was at a Zydeco dance, which is one of my favorite things to do. Zydeco is the music of southwest Louisiana — think rub board, accordion, and a driving beat you just HAVE to dance to. And there are specific partner dance moves to go with the music. Anyway, one guy I was dancing with (we change partners for every dance) asked me what I did for a living. I said, “I’m a life coach and I also teach life coaching.” Really stuck my neck out there, didn’t I? I didn’t just say I did life coaching, I...
