IMPORTANT UPDATE
As of April 2024, my blog has moved over to Substack where I’m co-hosting A Tender Space (together with my business partner at Centre for Holding Space). You can find my new writing plus podcast episodes there, or sign up below to get them in your inbox.
Here’s some of my earlier writing…
You don’t have to be awesome
You don't have to be awesome. You aren't being asked for that. You don't have to be flawless. You don't have to hide your imperfections. You don't have to do a better job than anyone else. You don't have to solve every problem. You don't have to win all the time. You...
Are you a leader?
When I was in the dreaming stages of this website, I was a little reluctant to use the word "leadership" in the title. Many of my readers and the readers I want to attract (and especially many women, I might add), would deny that they have any leadership qualities or...
Joy Journal #1 – It’s all about the PEOPLE!
Because my word for the year is joy, I'm keeping a joy journal, and I'll be sharing some of that joy on this blog. Here's hoping joy is contagious and you catch a little piece of it. The painting above brought me joy today. It's not about the finished product (I'm not...
Gather in a circle
Sometimes, it's nice to have your paradigms shifted. I have a "healthy" distrust of conference calls. In my working life, I saw them as necessary evils, and in my last job, I tried for years to make them work with my national staff. But no matter what new ideas or...
Butterflies in my bathtub (or why I’m writing a book)
This morning there were butterflies in my bathtub. Their presence was all the assurance I needed that I am writing the book I'm supposed to be writing. Let me explain... The book I'm writing is about spiritual transformation. More specifically, it's about how the...
Just busy livin’ a good life
It's not Thursday, but here are thirteen random things none-the-less... In case you haven't seen it on Facebook or Twitter, I now have short and sassy red hair. Just reflecting my new attitude! Smile. (Maybe I'll add "sassy" to my word for the year. What do you think?...
Long and rugged road
Listening to the Wailin' Jennys this morning... It's a long and rugged road and we don't now where it's headed But we know it's going to get us where we're going And when we find what we're looking for we'll drop these bags and search no more 'Cuz it's going to feel...
At the end of the day
At the end of the day... Don’t ask yourself “did I make a lot of money today?”Ask yourself “did I share my giftedness in a meaningful way?” Don’t ask yourself “did I achieve my goals?”Ask yourself “did I do meaningful work that brought me joy?” Don’t ask yourself “did...
Hunger for beauty
There are few things that nourish my spirit more than a meditative wander through nature with my camera. Mindful photography is for me what prayer or meditation is for others - a time to connect with the Creator through the tiniest of details on a leaf or the grandeur...
Writing, thinking… and thinking about writing
For over a year now, I have been telling myself (and others) that I'm writing another book. (I say "another" because I once wrote a novel that never got published despite repeated efforts and a few close calls.) I've been telling myself that, but I haven't really been...
