I almost didn’t write this week. I have a lot on my plate completing projects and term papers for my master’s program, but then while doing all of this I’m recognizing a pattern of behavior that I realize has been part of me since birth. I’m a self-saboteur. It doesn’t matter what it is, as … Continue reading Self-sabotage
Praise the zombie days…
When I was younger, I wouldn’t call in sick for anything. It was a source of pride that I would go to work half out of my death-bed as if the world would stop turning if I didn’t arrive. I remember teaching classes through sticky-notes- designating a student reader, and typing notes on the Smart … Continue reading Praise the zombie days…
My father’s daughter
Monday will make 18 years since my dad passed away. I won’t even begin to pretend that we had a magical relationship, or even that my day-to-day life has been hugely impacted by the loss, which I’m aware sounds horrible, but I will admit that it changed the trajectory of my existence in profound ways. … Continue reading My father’s daughter

Being an emotional cutter
My fellow Sex and the City fans know exactly what I mean by that, but for those of you who don’t, here’s a quick recap. In the movie, Carrie pulls out the article about her (at the time) upcoming wedding with all the pictures of her in designer wedding gowns, looking so happy…on Valentine's Day, … Continue reading Being an emotional cutter
Love ain’t for the faint of heart
Recently, I had a conversation with a friend of mine and she mentioned how wanting a relationship made her feel weak. In that moment, my heart cried for her and I told her that wanting companionship isn’t weakness, it’s natural. Weakness comes from being dependent on a relationship. Being incapable of being alone is weakness. … Continue reading Love ain’t for the faint of heart
Alignment…or the lack thereof.
Lately I’ve been thinking a great deal about what it means to be in alignment. Everywhere I turn there is an article, or a webinar, or some other forum discussing this very topic, and somehow I leave those situations no better off than I started. It seems like the consistent message for getting into alignment … Continue reading Alignment…or the lack thereof.
Life in perspective
Yesterday I attended yet another memorial service for a friend who has left us way too soon, and since the moment I learned of his passing, my mind has been going 90 miles a minute. As I sat among so many others who were there to say their goodbyes, I realized how far I’ve come … Continue reading Life in perspective
Saying “yes” to life…and goodbye to summer
As the summer comes to a close, I had to have one more solid seasonal adventure. For those of you just coming in, my entire blog site started as a response to old habits and beliefs that I needed to question and reevaluate. I decided it was time to start saying “yes” to opportunities that … Continue reading Saying “yes” to life…and goodbye to summer
The Winds of Change…
There’s a hard lesson that I’ve had to learn over the years about people. The saying is that people never change and I really don’t agree with that. I’m living proof that it isn’t true. What IS true, however, is that people only change…if THEY want to. Changing takes a great deal of effort, intention, … Continue reading The Winds of Change…
