change is unavoidable

This is The Second of a Four Part Series on Moving Through Painful Life Change.  Guidleine #2 Ask For and Allow Support Change is unavoidable. When change happens, slow your life down. Delegate responsibilities and ask for help from loved ones. Doors open, doors close and sometimes we have no control over the outcome. We do, however, have control over our response.  How we respond to change defines our... read more

moving gently through change

Change happens. It can be painful and difficult. Each one of us has experienced some form of loss. From the time we are thrust from the womb, we pass through a cycle of birth and death that continues until we take our final breaths. Life is just that – beginnings and endings, births and deaths, starts and stops – change. It’s not change itself that’s most significant. How we respond to that... read more

your greatest asset

Some people have good personalities. Others are great at math. We all excel at something. How about you? Take a minute to think of at least one attribute, or one thing you do really well.

The reasons don’t matter. They often boil down to... read more

The ways we communicate determine two things: 1) The Outcome of the issue we’re communicating about. 2) The Quality of our relationships.   Speak with respect, consideration, and love, and in healthy relationships, that’s what... read more

ask for what you want!

Part II – Last week we began a discussion on the ways common courtesy-gone-overboard can eat away at self esteem, joy and integrity. Integrity? That may sound as if it came out of left field, but it very much factors into our conversation. When most of us think about integrity, we think about honesty and being true to ourselves and others. But it doesn’t stop there. Integrity also implies a... read more

ask for what you want!!

Part I – Be polite, watch your manners, don’t hurt people’s feelings. Most people would agree these are good rules to live by. To a certain extent, they are; but when any one of these suggestions is taken to extreme, it can reek havoc your life. I know, because I’ve experienced it. My parents, and yours did what they thought was right when raising their kids. They, as most, did... read more
