This week, we’ll look at endings and new beginnings, and how finishing one cycle can lead to the start of an entirely new one. I hope you’ll stay with me. Who knows, we might both learn something. 

As kids, we chanted, “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” Oh, if it was only that simple. Join me this week, as we consider the power words carry with them and ways of being more mindful about the ways we use them 

Especially when we’re struggling, it’s worth remembering that we’re not stuck in the negative things we’ve been telling ourselves. We can choose to focus on things that are more enlivening and more liberating. With that in mind, join me this week as we consider the power of simple gratitude and how it can change our experience for the better. 

If you passed Manuel somewhere and he wasn’t wearing the shirt he wears when he’s working, you might be inclined to make up a story in your mind about him. But would you be sure about what you saw? And would your story be right? If you think so, I have to ask, “Sure about that?” Join me this week as we consider ways of busting some of our pre-conceived ideas and stepping out of judgment. 

We put so much pressure on ourselves to take care of other people, but are we overlooking something in the process? Join me this week as we take yet another look at taking elegant care of ourselves. 

When we know how to do something, we don’t have to try—we just do it. That’s especially true when we’re giving ourselves the sublime gift of being who we really are.  Join me this week as we consider ways of returning to ourselves as we let go of some of the obstacles we’ve put in our own way. 

It’s one thing to say, “That was then. This is now.” It’s quite another to separate what happened in the past from the feelings we’ve held onto about it.  Join me this week as we consider ways of doing exactly that. 

We often push ourselves relentlessly to get things done. But is all that pushing necessary? Is it even healthy for us? You and I both know there’s a better way. Come sit in the shade with me this week as we consider a few healthy alternatives. I think you’ll be glad you did.

While certain compromises are necessary from time to time, there are things that are not negotiable.  Join me this week as we consider what those things might be and how to keep them in place in our lives.
