A Deeper Freedom 
Rising Above Circumstance to Live Your Vision        
   

A definition of Freedom it goes something like this:
 
1. the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint.
 
2. exemption from external control, interference, regulation, etc.
 
3. the power to determine action without restraint.
 
 
We are incredibly fortunate to have our freedom politically-to be able to express ourselves and make all kinds of choices about how to live our lives...

Many people would easily choose to take a physical risk- like a Black Diamond ski run or parachuting.  But often it's a different kind of risk that really challenges us towards our fulfillment.

The Gift of Receiving
An Essential Element of Flow        
   

Recently there was a lovely, talented woman I spoke to who was struggling with a really difficult, stressful week.  Ironically, the week was tough because she'd received praise!  The praise brought up both a sense of pressure to continue performing at an exceptional level, and concern that her praise might take away from other equally deserving co-workers receiving recognition.  It was just really uncomfortable to receive praise...

Growth
Reaching down to the depths of the soul, growth challenges us to expand. Perhaps it is the leap of faith for a new career opportunity, home, city or relationship. Perhaps it is the closing of one door and the opening of another. Growth stretches us to our limits, at times more than we feel capable. Growth can be exciting, scary, painful, uplifting or sad. It can appear as loss or as a powerful addition to your life.

Spring is a natural time for growth for obvious reasons. There is someth...

Creating Space for Success and Vitality
Cause and Effect
   
 
There's nothing quite so decadent to me as the rich, robust flavor of an uber dark chocolate-I'm talking 72-90% + cacao.  That dark slightly bitter combined with the creamy texture as it melts, followed by the deep version of other sweetness.
 
I know...
 
It may be wrong to love an inanimate object, but I simply can't help myself.  I adore dark chocolate.

When Perfection is a Mistake
Redefine it. Reclaim energy.

If you have been a subscriber for a while (or even 2 weeks) you know without a doubt that I’m human.  I’m absolutely not error-free.  Though I wish at times I didn’t have public “Oops” moments, it is just part of putting myself and passions out there...I’m bound to flub up now and then.

As I write this I realize the problem is not necessarily the idea of perfection, rather how we define it.

One definition of perfection is...

Thanks to Todd I went the whole nine yards to gain new understanding of what's up in my body which completely helped deliver a long unanswered "Why" to so ...

Recently I watched the movie, Man On Wire - a fascinating story about a man, Phillippe Petit, who is wild about pushing boundaries, as well as exploring the remarkable blend of risk and art.  In August 1974 he tightrope walked (danced really) between the twin towers of the World Trade Center, some 1,300 ft off the ground.

Amazing? Outrageous? Or slightly insane?  I suspect it's somewhere in between, as often is the case when one taps into their passion.  Historically we may not realize someo...

If You Knew It Was the Last Time...
What Would You Do Differently?

The Cherishing
For whatever reason, one of my all time favorite things is to hear the crickets at night.  There's something about it that makes my heart sing.  I'm not sure if it's because it reminds me of camp, how I love summer, or that I just feel close to nature.  Whatever the case, I delight when I hear the first chirp of the season.  I'm not sure why, but this year I paid close attention, determined to mark the final day ...

A way to enhance this exercise is to go back over your list and determine what it is about that item that makes you so happy.

What's Your Impact On Others?
Do You leave people better or worse than you found them?

It occurs to me that on any given day we have the opportunity to make an impact on others, from moment to moment.  Whether at the grocery store, the bank, with clients, family and friends, we create an experience with every exchange we make.  Do your exchanges leave people better afterward?

When I first moved to Denver I worked at Whole Foods Market in Cherry Creek for a couple years.  One Thanksgiving sea...

Very exciting- the TV show I was interviewed for a couple weeks ago is now airing on CCTV54. Here's the schedule if you have Comcast Channel 54: Mondays at 8pm, Tuesdays at 2:30AM, Thurs and Fridays at 1pm and Saturdays at 2:30pm with a simulcast on their website. (check them out on Facebook @cctv54) It should play for a couple weeks!

Do You Know Who You Are? 
From Discontent to Delight- Making Time for YOU.

You are a hard worker, a giving person who does whatever it takes to get ‘er done—be it providing square meals, keeping up with laundry, drawing up brilliant proposals or traveling the globe for company growth.  That is fantastic and so giving of you—I’m sure that you are making a lot of people’s lives great.

How much joy is too much? When does one have enough joy? Is there some kind of measure that tells us if we are getting what we need, laughing enough, smiling enough for the right chemical balance or the right personal fulfillment?

I am not one for extensive statistics so I can only speak from my experience, personal study and clients. What I notice is that many of us could use some more JOY in our lives. When I am happy and my life is full of joy, I feel optimistic, more energized and above ...

Growth- Break Through to Your Potential--Dec 03 Part One

Motivation: Inspiration vs. Fear

In motivation there are a couple schools of thought — Inspiration/ Benefits: “I know that ‘blah blah blah’ is good for me and will cause me to feel x, y and z so I will do it.”  We see a possibility, the possibility gets us excited for what might be in our lives and voila- we're in action!  Maybe you meet a person or see a show or attend a class and it gets you in motion.  These are all examples of motivation through inspiration.

We all have a little seed inside, a seed of inspiration.  Perhaps we were born with it or maybe it showed up later in life.  It's that thing that lights a fire in your belly when you think about the possibility of it.  When you imagine that it might happen in your life, you can't help but smile and feel a flutter of excitement.

The Fine Art of Alignment
September 2003

Consequences of Mis-Alignment
Being out of alignment in our lives can create strong “symptoms.” When this happens we may feel unhappy, frustrated, impatient, worried, confused, angry, discouraged, apathetic, or bored. Resultantly, we don’t always take the best care of ourselves, which ironically seems to compound the feelings.

Intuition's Voice
July 2003

 A Quiet Little Voice
At some point you have likely experienced a “gut feeling.” Whether it was actually in your gut, the back of your mind or in your heart, you had a sense of knowing. Perhaps you acted against your gut and hired a person you felt oddly about, and turned out to be a major flop. Perhaps driving home you took a different route and “coincidentally” there was a major traffic jam on your normal route. Coincidence? Maybe. Intuition? Why not?

Claim Your Gifts
A Key to Finding Meaning

I've noticed a fascinating, wide-spread phenomenon...we disregard our gifts and innate talents as "normal," mistakenly assuming that everyone can do what we naturally can do.  As a result of considering our gifts normal, we shrug them off, thinking them no big deal, and carry on with our ever-determined search to create meaningful work.  We have no idea that our holy grail is laying right within us.

Many years ago I worked as a staff recruiter, hirin...

Belief vs. Believe
December 2002- part 3

We all have different driving forces and motivators in our lives.

Many of our driving forces, whether recognition, accomplishment, service, abundance, can be traced back to our belief systems and what we learned to be important.

What are your beliefs?
Often we aren't even aware of a majority of our “life shaping” beliefs? For example what do you believe about wealth, stability, travel, adventure, tradition, parenting, hard work, poverty, politics?  ...

8 tips to help you love YOUR life

1. Review your top 5 priorities and put YOU on the list.
2. As a continuation or Part 1's recommendation to "marry yourself"--write and say “new vows” to yourself…how you will love, honor and respect yourself forever…(or your own version!)

Falling Out of Overwhelm: Part 2

Here are a few more tips for moving out of overwhelm and INTO enjoying your life more fully...

Simple Shifts
You do not have to change everything in your life to find peace. Are there one or two obligations that you can trim back on? Are you willing to get up 10 minutes early and sit looking out the window or listen to music with your eyes closed? Are you willing to ask others for additional help or get your family more involved in household projects or cooking...

Willing to Be Me

There is a great quote by Sabrina Ward Harrison, “If you’re not yourself, who will be?”  It really resonates with me.  I realize that there’s a really strong likelihood that who I am and who you are, are individualized, unique creations, designed for a special life, if we are willing to go for it.  It’s become clear to me that to be myself, I actually must have courage, I must be willing to risk being seen, willing to do some things that fall outside of the “norm...

Falling Out of Overwhelm: Part One

Stop the Madness
Before you can do anything, you must grab hold of the wheel and put the brakes on. It may feel like everything is in “have to” mode, but it is up to you to pause you...

Setting up Support to Thrive: The Importance of Ease

After coaching  for 10 years, I’ve found that while clients are in transition to living the life they love, support is essential.  Support takes a variety of shapes, whether specific types of people, teams, systems, environments, or activities—all help clients to thrive.  We were not meant to do it all by ourselves!  And for me, it’s got to be easy—so easy that I don’t have to think about it; that it feels somewhat effortless and...

Remember When?
Do you remember a time you felt truly happy, carefree and maybe a bit silly? Hopefully it was fairly recent and if not you might want to consider "practicing" that playful side of yourself. Dr. Andrew Weil states, “Children laugh around 400 times a day compared to only about 25 times for adults.” How amazing is that?

An essential part of living a “whole” life and being “healthy” is your career. Being that once you begin a career you spend anywhere from 24 to 60+ hours a week (we’ll talk about number of hours later!), your career is a vital piece in the Big Picture of your life.

Balancing Your Mood: Part 2, Exercise
December 2001

Beta-Endorphin and You
Aside from the visible benefits of exercise (toned muscles, weight loss), there are chemical benefits too. Beta-endorphin. You might be wondering what is Beta-endorphin?

A New Season — Time to Spring Cleanse!

April 2001
Spring is a natural time of renewal and growth. It energizes and motivates us. A great way to support this natural movement toward growth and change is to clear out or “cleanse” various parts of our lives. This creates space for new opportunities as well as simplicity that reduces stress.

What relationships are due for a tune-up or release? Unresolved anger, frustration, fear, sadness, etc. is damaging to us physically ...

A Fulfilling Life: A Fully Present Moment

It always seems that when I reach middle of the month I have repeated moments of shock—about how I cannot believe that the month is already half over.  There’s a sense of sadness in a way, that time is flying by, and that I want to slow things down, enjoy more, experience more great moments, and instead feel a sense of contentment when it is the 15^th—as though there’s nothing I would change.

This morning I went outside for my morning ritu...

A Return to Balance: Cultivate Support

It is so easy to get in the routine of life's daily "To-Do's" and constant sense of being short on time.  As a result, innumerable things fall to the wayside-the things that seem non-essential or like indulgences.  One of those misplaced elements is often cultivating support.

Cultivating support means a myriad of things and is similar to prepping a garden so that it can flourish.  One component of support is relationships.  Though independence and...
