This is probably in the top three of my most asked questions.
My gut reaction is simply, “It doesn’t matter.”

Are past lives real?
I’m coming out!
I finally realized why I haven’t written in my blog on a regular basis (look at the distance between posts in the past!), promoted my business, or put my intuitive abilities out there in a big way.
I’M SCARED!

What I learned while being still
I am recovering from major surgery.
“If you don’t slow down, your body will find a way to make you slow down.”
Thanks, Body! Here’s what I’ve learned during my recovery:

I’m living
“If you knew you only had a year to live, what would you do?” I asked someone that question today, because I’ve been asking myself the same thing since last night.
The question seems so rhetorical, but when something unexpected showed up during a “routine” medical exam late yesterday afternoon, it collided with my idea of reality. I thought I was safe. I thought I would live to be ancient. It never occurred to me that I may not have another 50 or so years.

Self care is the highest form of care
“Self-care is the highest form of care.” The first time I heard Peter Reding of Coach for Life utter those words, I couldn’t follow the thought. After nearly twenty years of therapy and self-help, my default was still taking care of other people.

My son, my hero
As of this writing, my son is 27 years old. Like any other mother’s child, he has held the strings to my heart since before he was born. We have had our trials and tribulations; I remember wondering when the aliens that abducted my son, replacing him with an angry adolescent, would bring my sweet boy back.
My son is one of my greatest heroes. I think you’ll completely understand after reading today’s entry. I only hope words can capture the scope of the experience.

Why I became a Life Coach
I didn’t become a Life Coach because I had some great and noble idea of a Calling upon my life. I became a Life Coach because I’d reached a point of desperation, looked for help, and had an experience of having something “locked and loaded” in my soul/gut.

Sexuality and Spirituality
In its most basic forms, sexuality provides satisfaction of physical urges. In its highest form, sexuality consummates a spiritual connection.
The greatest desire of the human spirit is connection. A huge amount of money is spent every day in America on all sorts of things to enhance sexual pleasure and performance. Turn on the television or radio on any given day and count how many advertisements are played for sex-related medications, devices, procedures and products. Entire publications and a great deal of the Internet is devoted to the pursuit of “great sex.” Industries have been built around sex and sexual fantasies, in both physical and cyber forms. If “they” are not selling sex, they’re using sex to sell.
And yet the connection that is so desired is not satisfied. Why is so much money and energy being spent, and satisfaction still elusive?

My Date was GREAT!
I had a wonderful date today.
I let myself sleep in an extra hour or so, had a delicious breakfast and packed watermelon and a protein shake for beach snacks. I drove to New Smyrna Beach, took a two-mile walk, read a book, napped in the sun, played in the water and took a shower. I enjoyed a delicious dinner of Scallops with Balsamic Glaze and Spinach and Spicy Shrimp with Cheese Grits at The Upper Deck overlooking the Atlantic and A1A. For dessert, I had a cone of my favorite ice cream, Garbage Can (7 different candy bars in vanilla ice cream, YUM!) while walking on the beach.
What made the date extra-special was that it was with me.

We are the Stone
Like a stone dropped into still waters, we create ripples in our world. Every action we take affects those around us (the first ring), which then affects those around them (the second ring), and those around them (the third ring), and so on, into an infinite number of rings.
When we choose to drop into the waters of our world with vulnerability and love, the gift we present to ourselves, each other, and the world, is entirely endless.
