I’ve been taking a little space lately. In lots of ways. Space from my school and my practice. Space from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Space from idle chitchat and meaningless conversation. Space from socializing. Space. I took some more substantial space this past weekend, choosing to go on a retreat for rest, … Read more
Four months ago, CK developed a pain in her left shoulder that eventually led to a frozen shoulder. There’s lots and lots to talk about here with the mind-body connection, but at the moment, the focus is on Serendipitous Manifestation, so hang on to the mind-body concepts for a later post – like next week’s, … Read more
A colleague wrote a message to the members of a group that assembles bi-weekly to discuss business goals, objectives and projects and to ensure accountability for forward movement in our individual businesses.

Remember that song? Sorry Bobby McFerrin – I mean no disrespect, but it is a really, really dumb song! And yet, the sentiment is on target. CK’s already written about worry in a recent post – she riffed on a quote she found on Facebook – Worrying is like Praying…for what you don’t want to … Read more
Purpose. It’s such an interesting concept – and one that the New Age has turned into a questing, why am I here inquiry within many folks who have rejected religious dogma and embraced spirituality.

Whatever your bugaboos are – do you embrace them? Or do you push them away, to … Read more
This past week I met with several stressed out, exhausted clients. I heard: ‘I’m always running around,’ ‘I’m on 8 committees and they all demand a lot of support at year-end.’ ‘I’m traveling continuously; I haven’t been home for more than 3 days in 6 weeks.’ One client has rescheduled an appointment with me 5 … Read more
The season of Festivus is upon us. Have you noticed that sleigh bells ring every time the television comes on? And as I write this, emails flow steadily into my Inbox – announcing Cyber Monday deals.

The article, Combating Emotional Vampires, was an excerpt from Dr. Orloff’s online course of the same name. I generally appreciate Dr. Orloff’s work, and of course, Dr. Orloff didn’t invent the term Emotional Vampires, … Read more
Ah, expectations. The projection into the future (even a minute from now) that something is going to happen the way you want it to or think it should happen. And then, confound it all, that’s not what occurs. Leaving you disappointed, frustrated, angry and at times, all pouty and self-absorbed. Expectations are certainly a part … Read more
Chakra Khan is on retreat this week. She can be found wandering island trails, swimming in the crystal blue ocean, perhaps even resting pool-side.
