The Gift of Presence
When we are Centered, we are in our bodies, calming our minds and nervous systems, slowing our breathing, and relaxing. There is a timelessness and peace that allows us to rest and regenerate. This is my gift to you, to invite you into a Presencing practice. Listen to practice, then modify or...

Lessons from My Garden
I’m a gardener. A cook. A traveler. A spiritual guide. A paradigm-shifter. A conscious connector and conversationalist. Like many of us, it’s difficult to say I’m anything else besides a mother, an entrepreneur, a leadership trainer. We tend to limit ourSelves to our job title or what our role is...

It's all About Magic ~ Let's Create Some!
I love Magic. Magick. Magik. All forms of it. All stories about it. All songs too! During the Holiday Season, we talk about the Magic of gift-giving. The Magic of Believing. The Magic of Joy and Miracles and Beauty and Health and Well Wishes. And, I'm here, saying Magic is a year-round thing.…

Dialogue vs Debate - Authentic Communications
It's the holiday season (perhaps you’ve noticed?) with lots of events on the calendar providing us with lots of opportunities to be with "other-minded" people. Whether family, neighbors, co-workers or even circles of friends, we are more and more learning the contentiousness that conversations…

#MEtoo Movement for Good
#MEtoo. It’s become so common that no one is surprised anymore. We all just nod our heads in some type of secret solidarity. Yet, why are we sharing from a place of shame? Or Guilt? Or Embarrassment? Or, even, with a sense of thinking we are responsible, in some awful way? It’s time to stop the...
-
Returning Home and Turning On the Light
What am I speaking on, ranting on, sharing about or wanting to shine with today? I'm ready to open my heart and share what can be the most useful, most valuable to those who are listening. Do I start by blessing you? Or by blessing me? Blessing my wisdom, channel to Source, inspired words and the...

FEAR and Vulnerability
Continuing with the theme of FEAR this week, I’m curious… When are you most afraid - Sharing vulnerably yourself? Or being with someone else who is sharing vulnerably? Let’s define Vulnerability: vul·ner·a·bil·i·ty noun noun: vulnerability; plural noun: vulnerabilities 1.the quality or state of...
-
Courageous Authenticity - What are you afraid of?
What is your deepest fear? In honor of Halloween and Dia de los Muertos next week, let’s talk about fear. Funny how lots of people like scary movies. We can laugh at the ridiculousness of the plots and know that it’s not real. Yet, when scary stuff comes up for us, we literally cringe. Hide. Run...
-
The New Moon and Authentic Leadership
What does the New Moon have to do with Authentic Leadership? This week I define Authenticity and Authentic Leadership. What is important about this practice of conscious leadership, especially during this time of change and chaos? It’s rare and takes courage. It’s collective and co-creative and...

Letting Go Authentically and Consciously
It's harvest time for many but not for me. Autumn is my "spring cleaning" time. Letting Go to Live More Fully is one of my mantras and I’m typically singing it as I welcome this time of year. I'm finding myself tossing old items, giving away piles of clothing and linens, cleaning out toiletries,...
-
Authentic Community - Stepping into a Higher Version of Me
Last week I attended The Leadership Circle™ Summit. It was way more than a training opportunity. Or a vacation. Or a conference with like-minded hearts, minds and souls. Last week was my own Axial experience. "Axial" in that it was a pivotal moment when I could see all of who I have been coming...
-
What's calling you forward?
The Fall Equinox is upon us. Its time to take an assessment, an honest look at where we are. Where we want to be. Who we are. Who we are Be-Coming. What needs to end? Begin? What do we want more of? Desire less of? The Autumnal Equinox is a great lesson in Nature of balance. Light and dark. The...
-
Cultivating our Character in the New Axial Era
Did you know we are in the New Axial Era? A pivotal time when converging thoughts/philosophies/cultures/religions are driving us to an evolution of humanity? The first one occurred in the first millennium BCE. The phrase originated with the German psychiatrist and philosopher Karl Jaspers, who...
-
Integrity - BEing All In
Are you too open? Operating more from outside influences (people’s expectations, society’s norms, cultural or religious practices?) or from your own Inner Guidance System? When we “go with the flow” sometimes we are not checking in to see if it’s our Flow. Our own wisdom. Our own soul’s…

Leading, Loving and Living with Radiance and Vibrancy
How much do you SHINE? And, where? Are you SHINING in some places in your life but not others? Are you aware of how you operate differently with different people? In different scenarios? In different roles? It was easier for me to SHINE when at work for many years. My career offered me a place to...
-
SHINE - Post-Eclipse Shifts and Awarenesses
So, where were YOU during the Great American Eclipse? Whether you experienced Totality or not, I’m certain the experience was meaningful. Some enjoyed the science of it, others the photography challenges of capturing the beauty, others were deep in spiritual ceremony and ritual. Everyone was…

Wake Up White Women!
What to say? What to do? How to be with People of Color? I’m stuck. Truly. For one who is rarely short on words, I’m a bag of emotions. And, not sure if I want to blame it on the mixed messages of our country’s leaders or Mercury Retrograde or centuries of history where white privilege has been…

Simple Pleasures - The Art of Simplicity
I wanted to write about Play. The Art of Play. Authentic Play for us adult people. It felt so beyond my day-to-day experience I was afraid it would come across as inauthentic. So, starting simply, as I remind my clients, I looked at my morning practices. This morning in particular, it included...
-
Science and Spirituality of our Eclipse Season
This is a big month. For someone who is not oriented to the stars and planets and patterns they play out, it’s still important to note that these are extraordinary circumstances. We are all effected by the planetary systems, our moon and sun in particular. AND, when they cross over each other in...
-
Authentic Lessons from Gardening - Weeding and Watering You!
I love to do Garden Walks. Similar to a longer Medicine Walk that I both practice as well as facilitate for clients, a Garden Walk allows me to take assessment of what’s going on,. Where are the weeds or invasive plants getting out of hand? What needs water? Or, what needs to be emptied from…
more -
Authentic Purpose SHINES!
While speaking to a few clients recently, we discussed what “lights them up” or makes their “heart sing.” In each case, it has to do with doing work they love: work that has meaning for them, uses their strengths and talents and that that brings them joy. It’s 3 pronged. Being “on purpose." Being...
-
Conscious Creator or Reactive Victim?
When seeing how I was allowing myself to get W A Y off-track today, I noticed that my thoughts were on a downward spiral. And, after such a good morning! Meditating, quiet time contemplating how to create my day, a great session with my shaman/business coach, some delicious coffee, and some...
-
Push/Pull - The Growing Pains of Showing Up Authentically
We are halfway through 2017. Yikes! (says a part of me) When reflecting about the first 6 months of this year, I had lots to celebrate. Lots of lessons learned too. And, it pushed me into a growth cycle of wanting to be farther along than my "results" are showing. So, I got into fast-pace mode....
-
SHINING - A State of BEing, NOT Doing
This SHINE project I’m playing with is a constant state of evolving, metamorphosing, growing, changing, checking in. Lots of words that describe the intensity of the process depending on the day, the moment. We SHINE when we are in our Essence. Owning our Beauty and Brilliance. We dim when we...
-
SHINE - We all can do it, why don't we?
Do you SHINE? If you do, how do you feel when you SHINE? If you don't, are you afraid to SHINE? Feeling awkward or you'll be viewed as a fraud or inauthentic? Or bragging and self-centered? SHINE is a new way of BEing in the world. For me at least. It's part of the journey I've been on and have…

Sacred Space - Creating it, Sharing it, Opening to it
Do you have Sacred Space? Space in your home, job, relationship, schedule that is just for you? Do you safeguard it? Treasure it? Honor it? OR…do you feel like there’s no time, no room, no freedom to have such a luxury in your life? What do I mean by Sacred Space? My home is my Sacred Space. So…

What's Your Perspective?
Perspective. It's tricky. And we believe there's only one. ours. What are you looking for in that person who drives you nuts every day? What are you expecting when you get home at night from your partner? What pre-conceived ideas are you bringing into a meeting versus being open-minded and ready…

Occupy Self - Begin Within!
Remember Occupy Wall Street? How protesters camped out to make sure their message was received? They physically and literally stood their ground asking to be heard. Same with the folks who gathered for weeks at Standing Rock, protesting and blocking the progress of the pipeline across their…

Authentic Commitment - The "C" Word
What are you committed to? What will you do - no matter what else happens - every day? Commitment usually comes up in relationships. Yet,the most important relationship we have is the one with ourself. How are you doing in that one? Do you tend to commit to others and then slide on your word or...

Dancing with the old and familiar 'Doubt & Confusion' Sisters
Doubt. That 2nd-guessing. Wondering how it could have played out differently. Reviewing the memory over and over and wishing it were different. And, the loud voice that keeps us from taking that next step forward, asking the big question, sharing what's real. And/or Confusion. She's tricky this...
-
Authentic Pause - Slowing Down to Recharge
How do you recharge? In the 6 days since leaving home, there's been lots of activities, ranging from large noisy family dinners and brunches to my daughter’s graduation from college in Indiana, to partying at houses and bars to flying to Florida, visiting and staying with an amazing group of…

Authentic Passion - Finding it and Fueling it
Passion. It comes. Then it goes. We find it. Fuel it and it grows. And, too often, we lose it and have to find it again. It was very clear to me that I've been wallowing around in deep waters of emotional stuff for the last week or two, then after attending a few community events in the span of a...
-
Authenticity and Letting Go of the Old
What is calling you? Is there a desire or dream that, if you allow yourself to imagine it, you feel guilty? Or shame? Or the fear of it coming to reality? Or, even worse, the fear that you can't reach it? Each of us have one life. With the imagination and power to create on a huge scale. Yet…

Authenticity Requires ShadowWork and Self-Awareness
We are complex Be-ings. Not as simple or easy to diagnose or become intimate with as we would like. It takes work. Possibly a mirror, or a coach, or a huge life-changing event, to throw us more deeply into self-knowledge and self-awareness. Healing, as well as accepting who we are, on all levels,...
-
We are the Dance - Not the Dancer
We are Receivers. What Channel Are You Tuned Into? What music is playing through you? What is your mindset set to? It all will show up in how we live. How we dance this amazing life of ours. At the Art of Feminine Presence Intensive last weekend, Rachael Jayne Groover opened with the concept that...

Authentic Balance...is it possible?
Today I was wide awake listening to the birds around 3:30 am. I didn't know that was the time and I enjoyed the variety of birdsong for quite a while before getting up. When I saw the time, my mind went crazy. "OMG, it's too early! Get back to sleep. You've got a long and very full day ahead of…

An Authentic Invitation for you, Sweet Sister
Years ago this book arrived in a gift bag with several other items from a friend who saw me better than I saw myself. I devoured it. Each word in The Invitation, by Oriah sang to me, woke me up, brought a resonance to my soul that has long been asleep. And, it seems to call to me each time I need...
-
Trading in the Polished & Professional for Real & Raw
One of the things about living and leading and loving from Authenticity, is that I get to be reminded, often, of the places where I still hide. It's safe to pull back and retreat from the world. Where no one is watching (or so I believe) and I can be "little ol' me." Where I don't have to put on…

Authentic Connection
The peace we feel when we drop the mask, veil, armor? Wow. It feels so luscious, free and ... almost spiritual. Why do we wear all of that protection? Where did we learn to cover up? Fake it? Tell untruths? Pretend? Radical acceptance, deep awareness and honest looking within has been my way of...
-
Authentic Wisdom Within
Why do I keep looking outside myself for more guidance, wisdom and learning? There is SO much within just waiting for me to tap into it. How many books are you reading currently? I am in the middle of several leadership books, one on the Awakened Warrior, one on Culture, one on Leadership...
-
Authentic Anger (Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!)
Authentic anger, especially for women, looks very different than a lot of we've been seeing, or what we've been taught, or what . AND, It’s true that women have a millennia or two worth of of actions and historical events and current events to be angry about. I am and the perfect example. It was...
-
Opening to Receive
How often do you receive a gift and toss it back in the giver's face? Probably not often, if ever. Yet, we redirect compliments, offers of support, opportunities to engage and connect, right? When a young woman offered her support recently as I sat by the ocean and was sobbing into my journal, I...
-
Authentic Awareness and Imagination
How's your imagination these days? Awareness gained through imagining or dreaming is much broader than our intellect alone. It allows us to gain a wider view of possibilities, to aim higher, dream bigger! How do you create your vision? Your goals? Your daily or weekly plan? Would you like to…

Authentic Life :: It's Not Always Easy
Authentic Life, what is it? More importantly, Why did I agree to it? And, have the strong nudge to teach it, share it, model it for others? Here I am, sitting with a boatload of ideas, plans and projects, and I'm playing this game with myself. Authentic Life is about eating, living, leading…

Authentic Expansion - Are you Ready? (Am I ready?)
As I connect to my vision for 2017 (and beyond) it seems too big, too much and that I'm not ready or worthy of it. Before my mind begins to doubt and close off possibilities, I move into a place of connecting to all that is and allow for the Higher Self to step in. She knows, in her own wise way,...

One Degree of Difference
We had this winter storm last week. Ice, rain, drizzling and misting of freezing rain, sleet, and more rain. The predictions were scary and dire. Warnings to stay off the roads, and schools/businesses/events cancelled regionally. We all stayed home (after running wildly to the store for last…
