  • Navigating Life’s Journey through Power Questions

    As a certified creativity and life purpose coach for highly-creative and spiritually-minded women, I’m always exploring various scenarios with questions. I have an innate curiosity to know “who, what, where, when, why – and how.” This curiosity was instrumental in my early days as a television, radio, and print journalist. It also plays a key role in my current work as I gently guide women on a path of self-discovery as they connect with their inner voice and learn to navigate life’s many twists and turns. Asking “power questions” is part of the service I provide for my clients. It’s also something that I teach them to do for themselves. So when I found out about my colleague Sandy Nelson‘s new book, Ask Power Questions:…

  • Do You Feel Stuck in the Middle of Nowhere?

    A few years ago, there was an American television commercial that showed a sports utility vehicle driving through a remote mountain scene. And the voice-over said, “You can find yourself in the middle of nowhere – or in the middle of nowhere you can find yourself.” This phrase seems to capture the sentiment of so many people in my life right now – clients, colleagues, friends, even me. Some are dealing with major life transitions that feel painfully uncomfortable – while others are preparing for new beginnings and fresh starts that involve a sense of unknowingness about the future. If we take a closer look at the first part of the phrase, “You can find yourself in the middle of nowhere” – we may feel…

  • The Gifts of Gratitude Journaling

    The summer season brings an energy of celebration and light. It’s an ideal time to notice the many gifts in your life, both personally and professionally – and to begin intention-setting for the months ahead and the new year that’s just over the horizon. But what if you’re in a frame of mind that’s not so positive, causing you to get lost in a sea of negativity? If you’re finding yourself challenged by day-to-day issues, it’s helpful to remember what is going right in your life. This is where gratitude journaling comes in. Working with the law of attraction, this journaling technique helps switch the focus from negative to positive. And after a few days of gratitude journaling, the mindset starts to change – and…

  • How Well Do You Receive Compliments?

    American author Mark Twain once said, “I can live two months on a good compliment.” How about you? What does a good compliment do for you? For many women, accepting compliments is a difficult thing. It feels uncomfortable, so we brush them off. But what if we started accepting them – and feeling gratitude for them? Can you imagine what it would do for our self-esteem and our sense of appreciation? Beginning now, make a pledge to yourself. Pay attention to what other people are noticing about you – and how they’re bringing it to your attention. Instead of playing down a compliment, look the person in the eye, smile, and say, “Thank you.” Then document it in your journal. Every time someone gives you a…

  • How Will the Full Flower Moon Inspire You?

    This week brings a very powerful full moon phase in the astrological sign of Scorpio. This is the most intense sign of the zodiac – and when it coincides with a full moon, it brings us an opportunity to break free from old patterns and begin claiming the life that we REALLY want. So be prepared for the intensity! This full moon is also known as the Full Flower Moon, inspiring an “inner blooming” that will transcend into every part of your life. This “ripple effect” has the potential to change your life in big and dramatic ways that are quite magical! It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by well-known journal writer and novelist, Anais Nin. “And the day came when the risk…
