Do you have one of those bucket lists? You know..the wish list, the life list...whatever you want to call it. I do. Only I don't pay it all that much mind from day-to-day. I have big goals and things I'm working on and seem to get distracted by those dreams. Still every time I notice my bucket list I get very emotional. These are real to me. Pinterest has made it loads of fun to create this list. I love visuals! I started thinking about why I have this list if I don't pay enough att [..]

There are so many people wandering around this world worried about what others might think if they do this or do that. They aren't living fully because of this worry. It breaks my heart to see people hold back on living in case it upsets another person. You know what I say to that? Screw that!

It’s the ones we grab hold of

Published on 2012-08-07 08:10:49

In the past, I have struggled with the idea of controlling my thoughts. After all, things just pop into my head don't they? I can't control that. I had no idea how to do this. In fact, I sort of believed that it was really not possible. Maybe if you were some highly trained guru or something but I really had little faith in this. I know many of you out there think and feel the same way.

After all I am a middle child and I can get to the white middle of an Oreo without breaking the cookie part like a freakin pro! ;) lol The middle seems like a good place to be right? Extremes can be uncomfortable after all...goodness just look at the temperature guage. Who wants to live in 120? or worse -30?

Advice to my Younger Self

Published on 2012-06-15 08:38:59

I think sometimes my brain has a thought process all of it own. I was pouring myself some coffee (shocking I know) and somehow found myself thinking about what advice I would give my younger self had I the opportunity. I think it may all stem from the focus I've been putting on the Coffee with Soul series, new blog and such. It's all about figuring out life and sharing the lessons with each other. There may be a connection there.

3 Easy Steps to Not Doing Something Stupid

Published on 2012-06-08 12:10:10

We've all had our moments right? You know the ones where we fly off the handle, blurt out something stupid we wish we could take back or feel the opportunity rising in us to act without thought. This is pure lower consciousness and emotional reactions taking us over. Our lower consciousness (or Id according to Freud) is a real brat when upset. We usually regret this later...even if we don't want to admit it

Over time we change, our views, our lifestyle, our understanding and our desires...they all change. I think it occasionally is really more of a 'becoming clear' sort of thing. While other times everything flips around, slides over and comes undone only to be done up again in a completely different way. What's the point right?

Over the last few weeks I've heard snippets of conversation, read comments and today I read a beautiful blog post by Lynn Balwin-Rhoades, all connected to this idea of Grace. Clearly there is a whisper here to look closer at what Grace actually is...you know? Those Divine Whisper have been getting louder again.

Stress Busting Tips

Long drawn out stress or constant stress can really do a number on you. It affects your sleep (hello 3 am!) , your body (ugh..belly fat!) and your moods. It decreases your focus and concentration. Prolonged stress can affect your desire to do things you normally enjoy (going out, hobbies, sex). It makes you fatigued and more inclined to get and stay sick.

If you know me at all you know I practice living from compassion as often as I can. It used to scare me the lack of compassion in this world but what I've learned over time is that compassion is a teachable value.

Do You Believe What You Think?

Published on 2012-04-10 17:54:02

Our thoughts come from a bunch of places but the two biggies are the cultural upbringing we have and what our brain is compiling from all the messages it's receiving from our senses. How many of those thoughts are facts and certain do you think? Not as many as you think. It makes sense that we believe our thoughts are true and correct. After all our pre conceived thoughts help us make sense of our world so it is only logical that we believe them. But is it wise?

mentioned this in my last post called Got Hope and I've had a few emails and questions so here's the down-low on this. The Coffee With Soul tele conference is an idea I've had for a while and suddenly felt it was time to make it a reality. So here we are. You must know that if it's got me involved it's probably got coffee and or chocolate in there somewhere right? lol Okay okay...the thing is I LOVE grabbing a good friend, heading to a coffee shop, grabbing my mocha and getting deep int [..]

Got hope?

Published on 2012-03-31 13:38:18

Got hope? Hope: the wish or desire for a future that is good. The expectation that a wish will be fulfilled. I know it's here somewhere right? We all have hopes, wishes and dreams. We all have secrets wishes and we all have dreams that we shout to the world.

Breakable? No Way

I work with people who are brilliant, creative and talented. They are practically able to taste the success they want. So why are they working with me? While there are many reasons, there tends to be a theme that comes through. There is something that isn't serving them. A part of them locked up tight that they are having trouble accessing and they don't know what to do about it.

Just a bad day?

Having a rough go of things can lead to waking up already in a foul mood. How do you change it? With some self care and a plan.

Do you meditate? I have only begun my journey into this. It's been oh..just over a year I guess since I started looking at this seriously.

There are some habits we have and don't even think about: they are just part of our daily routine. There is one habit though that I want you to add to that!

Are you ready yet?

I think we all need some time now and again to sort of re-group and decide where our life is going to take us. Of course then there are people like me who are much happier when they can simply decide on the fly and take whatever turn happens to arrive. Either way, taking the time to regroup can be good. We all need some down time to appreciate what we already have don't you think? "To enjoy the moment is the gift that hard work gives us." ~Bonnie Copeland What I see more often tho [..]

If you’re gonna talk it…you better walk it

I like facebook because it's a great tool to keep in touch. I have noticed that some people are using it as a tool to feel better about themselves in a not-so-authentic way.

Is Character Crumbling?

Published on 2012-03-02 13:11:25

Do we as a society have crumbling pillars of character? No, I don't think character is lacking in people these days. Generally I think we all have a decent set of values and character. It's just we seem to have a tendency to keep it hidden inside. The reasons? There are two big problems as I see it right now, things that really need to change.

The Foundations of Character

Published on 2012-02-28 07:52:46

Foundations, traits...call it whatever you want; what makes us look to a person and say they have a strong character? What makes us strive to emulate them, when we want to have or develop good character in ourselves or our children?

When no one and everyone is looking; Character matters

Published on 2012-02-25 11:10:38

Who we are, how we act, when no one is looking is the true measure of our real character. I think most people have heard this idea or something similar to it. While I totally agree with that, there is the flip side that is much more difficult handle these days it seems. Character is also who we are and how we act when everyone is looking

Your Past Does Not Define You

Published on 2012-02-14 08:39:40

It's easy to get hung up in the past. After all it made us who we are, it's our history and it seems to be hanging around all the time. People define themselves by what went before. They get stuck in those labels and definitions and beliefs. Your past doesn't define you. It only shows you the path you have already walked. You can choose a new one.

There is always a way, always a solution. It may not be perfect, it might even be hard. Tough. You know what's harder? Dealing with regret because you sat on your butt and waited for life to come to you.

Nothing Can Hold You Back

It is human nature to want to avoid that which makes us uncomfortable and certainly that which hurts us. Problem is we can't avoid ourselves. At least not for long and certainly not if we want to have a life we are living and not just marking time in. You have another choice.
