Between the conscious and the unconscious … by Kabir

Between the conscious and the unconscious, the mind has put up a swing: all earth creatures, even the supernovas, sway between these two trees, and it never winds down. Angels, animals, humans, insects by the million, also the wheeling sun and moon; ages go by, and it goes on. Everything is swinging: heaven, earth,...

The breezes at dawn … by Rumi

Don’t go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go back to sleep. People are going back and forth between the door sill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don’t go back to sleep.

What is emerging in you?

“What shape waits in the seed of you to grow and spread its branches against a future sky?” ~ David Whyte Spring has arrived and lushly laid itself at our feet. First with a thaw, then with rain, and finally, with glorious sun. As brand new leaves bravely take their places on trees around...

One round around the ring with “Hate”.

For a woman who spends her time focusing on beauty, beautiful women, and the makings of a beautiful life, it came as a surprise to find myself in the midst of a journaling session writing about how much I hated (let’s call her Smurfette). It looked something like this: “I hate Smurfette. I hate...

How to be good in bed.

My roommate, her friend and I were having some fabulous girl time the other night, doing our hair and listening to girl tunes, when my roommate’s friend asked: “How do you know if you’re good in bed?” Good question. How do you know? We quickly ran through the repertoire of basic techniques and...

Dear beautiful women: A letter from Ron Donovan

“The house, the stars, the desert–what gives them their beauty is something that is invisible!” The Little Prince I don’t remember why I was walking up to this particular woman. I needed to ask directions. I also don’t remember noticing anything remarkable about her as I approached. But what happened next was remarkable. As...

Seeing

“I see you.” “And I see you.” This is how the Zulu people of South Africa greet each other. I took a workshop a few weeks ago given by Dr LeAnn Renninger on the topic of seeing, specifically, microexpressions, those little glimmers of facial movements that reveal what someone is really feeling in...

What do you do about heartbreak?

Recently, I found myself in the midst of a breakup and a little disoriented to say the least. I pouted for a while until, one day, the clouds parted slightly and I was clear enough to write myself a pep-talk. It did the trick and so I’d like to share it with you: What...

Gratitude: e.e. cummings style

Gratitude is like a magical elixir. It soothes the soul and makes you smile. When real gratitude enters the scene, it’s impossible to hang on to whatever is bugging you, at least not as firmly as you were gripping it before. No matter what is going on, it just plain feels good to take...

A Woman’s Confession: I took advantage of him

Each one of us has stories, deeds, desires, aspects of ourselves that we deem unworthy. With judgment and fear of being discovered, we hide these parts away, never looking, or if we do, furtively. But as we do that, we lock parts of ourselves away. As long as we only show our light aspects,...

You are more beautiful than Barbie.

That’s right, we know this one like the back of our hands. Too much of this, too little of that, however our individual experience of this goes, the moments we spend in front of a mirror taking tally are exactly that many moments too many. Our quest to be beautiful, hell, my quest to...

Poem: “Transcendental Etude” by Adrienne Rich

Cardinal lessons.

I’ve recently found my totem animal, or more aptly put, he found me. Spiritually speaking, I’m a simple girl. I don’t necessarily understand or know how things are but do pretty well for myself with some simple guidelines: keep an open mind, notice what’s happening around you, have faith when it feels right...

Testimonials

The work we’ve done in the last several sessions in particular has set the stage for me to take my place in the spotlight of my life. The uniquely guided process she created allowed my inner wisdom to surface, and out of that, came the clarity and courage I needed to take a risk I had been holding back on for almost a year now.

~ Kristen Domingue, NYC, Life Coach

I wanted to thank you soo much for your support on my life's journey. I felt like you were my equal and I could trust that you would guide me and let me make my own choices. You showed empathy, were a great listener, and held me accountable for accomplishing my goals. It was amazing how I was able to open up to you and how you helped unravel the mystery of me. I was able to reveal my inner thoughts, feelings, and motivations that I had previously not known about or fully understood. You acted like my mirror and reflected them back to me. I feel that I have become the World’s Leading Expert on Me!

This was truly a very new and unique experience that can only be fully understood and appreciated by those who experience true life coaching with an ideally matched life coach. Words can only go so far.
