One of the questions I encourage others to ask of themselves most often as a Life Coach is “WHY am I doing what I am doing?“. With procrastination, asking this question allows us to uncover the root fear. We go through life, often as breakneck speed, moving from one task to another, switching roles and…
So now what? Making one small change.
Last week, I was musing about the importance of starting the year well: by beginning at the end and working backwards. Humpf, you say. That’s all well and good, ….but now what? Those questions I posed last week are huge in their scope. How wonderful to have a week long retreat to do full justice…
How to live a proactive life.
How was 2020 for you? No, you have not read that wrong, nor have you done a Sleeping Beauty and slept throughout the entire year. A new year has begun, and a new decade. (unless you are a pedant like MB who believes the new decade only starts at the END of this year.…

They propose spending between 10 and 30 minutes each day of Lent doing…. …absolutely nothing. I like the idea of…

Earlier this week, I was speaking to a wonderful group of people about what it means to start the year well. And in the course of that talk, I posed a number of potentially year-changing questions to prompt thought and reflection. As always, when I am speaking to groups, I find that I can easily…
Growing new roots takes time
I came across this tree on one of my regular walks along our local riverside. What struck me about it was the shear size of the roots, exposed as they were.
