My Life Works Today!

“You’ll never plow a field by turning it over in your mind.” ~  Irish proverb   I have a tendency to think about things too much. Not to say that I’m thorough or particularly organized. I just think so hard about something that I reach a point of paralysis and often times become too overwhelmed to act. ...

I know...I have the best intentions of being here more, but there is always so much work to do.   Now that there is a little rain back in the forecast, that gives me an excuse to take things a little easier physically. I have been hurting more than I have in many years and am not ...

  Snapshots from the homestead~ As I stroll around and try to figure out my next tasks for my homesteading project this year, I can’t help but be overwhelmed by the beauty already here this spring. A gal in one of the Tai Chi classes I lead mentioned a great idea in putting some of this beauty ...

Today, my usual Sunday routine was off. Normally, my goal is to spend a lot of time in the kitchen prepping for next week’s meals and snacks. Instead, I have been nesting here at home like a mad woman organizing closets, drawers, hanging pictures, creating door wreaths, moving more dirt and building up the garden. ...

Hi~ remember me? I don’t know about you out there, but I have a very difficult time knowing when to say “when.”  This is my busy season with self-management workshops as well as updating my credentials and new trainings.

  Although the last two to three weeks have been especially challenging – typical road bumps around money and unexpected expenses– this past week was one of professional realizations, family illness and my health status. We often hear the phrase “Bad luck comes in threes” and whether you are superstitious or not, this past week proved ...

Getting back to using the Jenga metaphor I used in Part One for problem solving, I have to see each task awaiting me as I enter into homesteading as a brick to pull from this huge goal. Recognizing that my health work schedule will be fairly tight this Spring, I had to be reasonable and ...

When my front yard looks like this, it means a couple of things.   One, I screwed up big time, somehow. Two, I have to completely re-plant and that means a lot of physical work beginning in a couple of months.   My backyard doesn’t look like this, but it usually gets the bailed pond water during the summer and ...

Windows seem to frequently represent possibility or potential. At least, they do for me. I had a window open up for me a few days ago and the view was unsettling. During a recent conversation with a health colleague, I had an epiphany that nearly knocked me out of my chair. The topic was about coaching ...
