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:…

Giving Courage to Your Inner Voice
Imagine picking up the cosmic phone and scheduling an appointment with your Inner Goddess to discuss the next steps in bringing a dream to fruition. During a full moon phase, the lines are clear – so feel free to ask for what it is you need and desire. The Full Moon gives us the courage to bring our true voice to the forefront. It gives us the ability to believe in the power of our own authenticity. Take a moment to think about your “life story.” How has it played out – up to this point? Where you encouraged to take risks? Or were you told to “play it safe” – always making comfortable, practical choices? Was your voice heard and received with love and respect – making you feel like your…

Unleashing Your Inner Goddess
Picture yourself standing in front of a forest with a desire to move through it to the other side. You notice the vastness of the forest, filled with possibilities – and you become eager and curious about the path that will lead you through it and what you might find. Your Inner Goddess (your authentic voice) is whispering to you – to boldly venture through the forest, so she can fully unleash her beauty in the light of your unknowingness, helping you see and connect with your untapped potential. But in order to get through the forest and out on the other side, you’re keenly aware that there may be risks involved – and a willingness to try something new. What will it take to…

The Gift of the Waxing Crescent: Who Are You, Really?
On a recent winter evening walk, I couldn’t help but take in the beauty of our lunar goddess as she began to make her way out of darkness and into her first sliver of light. It was a glorious sight! It was just enough light to see the definition of the moon in the night sky, bringing her out of complete darkness – but not quite enough light for the waxing crescent phase. It reminded me of those many times in my life, when I would peek my head out of that place of “not knowing” into the light of possibility. Getting a glimpse of the light, both inner and outer, always stirred an excitement within me. This is the beauty of the waxing crescent moon phase – a peek at what’s…

The Gifts of the Dark Moon
As we approach another new moon phase, I’m reminded of the gifts that come to us through the mystery of life’s darker moments. American poet Mary Oliver once wrote, “Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift.” It brings to our awareness the potential that darkness has in shedding light on life’s lessons and the many gifts that would otherwise go unnoticed. The darkness of the moon brings an opportunity to reflect on our life’s journey by taking a closer look at who we are – underneath the layers of life. It’s a time to turn within and write about our innermost thoughts and feelings. It’s a time to ponder where we’ve been,…
