Is living a fulfilled life a radical act?
I’m beginning to wonder. Having discovered this way of living… which involves living in alignment with my personal values, listening to my intuition to guide me, following my own inner compass, living intentionally and “on purpose”… I’m starting to wonder why everyone isn’t living this way. Why aren’t we taught how to move through life…
Read MoreWhat are you distracting yourself from?
Something strange has happened to me… I’ve lost interest in checking my social media news feeds, I don’t have a desire to drink alcohol, I don’t have a desire to buy things I don’t need (in fact, I’m trying to get rid of things!), I’ve unsubscribed to most marketing emails, I started checking my email…

“Get down on your hands and knees and act like a dog… Get messy.” This was the challenge I received from my last individual supervision session (part of my coach training). Ugh, really? I don’t like getting messy… At least I didn’t before this week. This challenge was to support me in expanding my range…

This week, I said goodbye to a trusted companion of 7 ½ years… It was a good ride while it lasted and I was sad to see her go. Last week, my husband and I welcomed two new additions to our family… Step 1 of our adventure plans complete. But, first… let’s go back to…
Read MoreWhat will your legacy be?
I’m in my hometown of Charleston, WV this week visiting my grandparents. They are 88 and 89. They are two of the most incredible people I know… and I’m not saying that just because they are my grandparents. When I think of my grandparents, these are some of the words that come to my mind……
Read MoreIs there a wildness in you?
There is a wildness in me. It’s coming out of my bones and seeping through my pores. It’s Raw and Unyielding, Beautiful and Wise, Powerful and Strong, Alive and Free. It doesn’t seem to care about what I, or other people, think. It’s on a mission… and doesn’t appear to be willing to settle for…
Read MoreAre you attached to your thoughts?
My mind is unruly. This is the conclusion I’ve come to after observing it for some time now. Thoughts seem to come and go…without any care or concern for how I feel about them. They seem to have a mind of their own. They do not adhere to my methods and tactics of control and…
Read MoreWhat’s keeping you from your own freedom?
In honor of Independence Day this week, I thought I would write about freedom. Specifically, my own freedom. Despite my external conditions and circumstances providing me with a lot of freedom, I spent a good portion of my life imprisoned. Imprisoned by thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. While not intentional, this imprisonment was of my own…
Read MoreWhat values do you hold dearly?
What does your perfect day look like? Mine would involve some (preferably all) of the following… Yoga and meditation A great cup of coffee (from fresh ground locally roasted beans) Reading from inspirational books Making food (from scratch, using REAL food) Writing Coaching Walking or running with Veda (our 6-year-old Doberman Pinscher) Not driving…or being…
Read MoreHow Can a Success Coach Help Me?
Your life looks good…on paper. But, you don’t feel satisfied. You’re sensing there is something bigger wanting to emerge, but you’re not sure exactly what it is or even how to call it forth. You get the sense that it’s not another promotion, raise, title, degree, or certificate. You feel like you’re just going through…
