I never set out to be a coach. It was never intentional, nor did I spend long hours daydreaming about it as a child, imagining myself on the phone with earbuds or headphones attached to my ears, pacing the floor in time with my client’s cadence and energy, holding space for their dreams, pain […]
Are You Taking the Right Action?
Take Action! Take Action! Ready, Set…Take Action! Everyone knows that if you really want your business (and life) to be happy, abundant and successful, that after all the mindset gurus have gotten done messing with your brainwaves, the thing that you have to do is take action. Get off your duff and get moving. After […]
CAN and WILL…and BELIEVE
As a very small child, whenever I would get discouraged, I would plop myself down on the floor like a doll made of rags and let out a hopeless wail. “I Can’t…..” would be my pitiful cry. “I don’t know how, it’s too hard, I’m too tired.” My mother would turn on a dime, […]
The Biggest Failure is Never Beginning At All
There is a phrase that pops up in coaching now and then when talking to clients about their projects. I didn’t make it up, I *borrowed* it from a 2006 Movie, but I have been using it ever since. It’s the phrase: Failure to Launch. It was a silly romantic comedy about a thirty-something guy who […]
The Tragic Silence of Not Asking for Help
Ships that pass in the night, and speak each in passing, only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness; so on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow It is easy to be a […]

Have you ever experienced that gnawing, twisting, painful […]
After the Clutter is Gone
Spring Cleaning has been in the air for several weeks now at my house. It was the theme at Blue Sun Studio for the entire month of March, and a topic of conversation with several clients and friends. As soon as the weather starts to warm up and our bodies begin to thaw out, we […]
The Mind Garden
” A man’s mind might be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild, but whether cultivated or neglected, it must and will bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weeds will fall therin, and will continue to produce their kind.” […]
From Creative Chaos to Organized Artist
Clutter, Chaos and their best friend, Disorganization, are a gang I have been fighting with for years. I wasn’t born under that Lucky Star of Naturally Organized. I was born under the Star of Creative Artist and the two traits seem to be polar opposites. Very few creative artists will tell you that it is […]
Loving the Yucky Parts
This morning I was doing my yoga and got to my first forward bend. Down I went, one vertebra at a time, my fifty-four year old knees slightly bent until I was hanging there staring at my toes. Suddenly in a moment of complete BE-ing and awareness, I saw them. The dried out, in desperate […]
