Why Do We Hurt The Ones We Love?
May 20th
I have often heard this question asked. And I've heard many answers. We do it because we can; we feel that the ones we love won't hurt us in return. We do it because we don't mean to, but the ones we love are connected to us so deeply that it's impossible not to. We ...
Do You Pursue Your Dreams Or Do Your Dreams Pursue You?
Apr 27th
I believe we live life one of two ways: pursuing our dreams or being pursued by them. How are you living your life? Our dreams call to us from deep within us. They provide a link to the purest version of ourselves. But, we often find our "story" dominating our dreams. Our story--I'm too old, I'm ...
Happiness Doesn’t Happen By Accident
Jan 7th
I'm amazed at how often I encounter unhappy people on a daily basis. In the grocery store, at the movies, in a restaurant, and around town. And yet, just as often in those very same places, I encounter people who are happy. What's the difference? What magic formula have the happy people found that the unhappy ...

I'm constantly amazed by my interactions with people. It seems the vast majority of us don't realize that we are so similar to other people. Instead, we think that whatever we're going through, however we're thinking and acting... that somehow we're completely unique in that. We're not that unique. Human beings, it seems, are very ...
3 Ways To Get Schooled Without Getting Hurt
Sep 2nd
"To Get Schooled" is to learn something, generally the hard way. As in you got "schooled" in life. Often, we find ourselves at the learning end of life's lessons, struggling to determine what happened. How did we get here? Why are we here? And what can we do about it? Life is, indeed, the opportunity for ...

We Are All Naked! (under our clothes)
Jul 30th
It amazes me in my life coaching practice how often I come across the following scenario: Client: I'm feeling confused/angry/blocked/depressed because (insert circumstance here). I'll never be able to change/finish this/move on/be happy/etc. Me: There are a lot of tools out there that have worked for lots of people. Perhaps we can try some together? Client: Well, we ...
Why Do You Have To Be So Negative All The Time?
Jul 20th
The Power of Positive Thinking is not just about embracing the positive, it is about accepting the negative. Time Magazine recently reported that when we acknowledge our negative thoughts, they cease to have pwoer over us. We become less reactive and more in control. Unfortunately, most cognitive psychologists out there would have us believe that we ...
