CHAOS
So how exactly does chaos enter into our lives? At the risk of being repetitive, it is usually the result of refusing to make decisions or making decisions to please others.
Perfect
Being perfect is hard work. Being perfect often stops us in our tracks. Case in point, I did not walk until I was 15 months old. One day my mother took me into a shoe store. I was outfitted with a pair of shoes and stood up and walked out of the store. Prior to…
CANCER
Cancer: It is not a word that sparks joy and happiness in one’s heart. In the last 2 weeks two people I know have just been diagnosed with cancer, which is what has prompted me to write this post. No, it will not be a post about how I survived cancer and I am…
MONDAY
Monday, Monday. The start of the work week and often the start of the memes and the whines. Poor old Monday just can’t catch a break. If you go onto social media I swear there is more complaining about Monday than any other day of the week. And I have to ask why? What did…

What is a toxic relationship? Physical and sexual abuse are often the first ones that come to mind. These forms of abuse are deeply injurious…
Privilege
Privilege. It’s a loaded word these days, and means different things to different people. So, let’s start by defining privilege. There is the privilege of wealth. You may have worked for it or inherited it, yet wealth gives its owner privilege. It means freedom of choice in how you spend it and freedom of fear…
Rant
Fair warning this post is a rant! And this is what started it. In November of 2016, the US elected a man for President who was a: liar racist bigot and full of homo hatred. A man who admitted to sexually assaulting women and at the same time he wanted to destroy their right…
What happens in a life coaching session?
What happens in a life coaching session? Well, for sure it is a lot friendlier than the picture. And I just couldn’t resist this picture as I think folks may feel that life coaching is all about being yelled at. And when you watch some sports that’s what you see-a lot of yelling. Life coaching…
