Navigating the “5Bs” to Maintain Workplace Balance & Brilliance
In my long professional experience, I’ve identified five recurring personality types, all with the letter “B”...Navigating the potential landmines of coworker, and possibly boss, sabotage can improve your long–term sanity and career development.

Crafting Communication to Connect

Crafting our communication means we take the time to use these tools to connect with others and share information in a meaningful way.

A congruent life feels vibrant and full of infinite possibilities where your body, mind, and spirit feel in sync.  Like a personal trainer for the physical body, I help individuals train the mind toward positive focus and deliberate creation.

Which Side of Denial Are You Embracing?

Which Side of Denial Are You Embracing?

We always have a choice over our response to a situation, and how we view it can make all the difference. If we refuse to believe the situation is hopeless, others may accuse us of being in denial. If you are on the positive side of denial, you can deliberately create a solution in your favor.

Forgiving, Forgetting, or Festering Past Hurt?

What we see and hear attunes to the story line of our internal dialogue. 

An ignored splinter can fester, and look at what the oyster does with sand! A pearl may be the result but the oyster suffers.

Minding Your Mindfulness

Minding Your Mindfulness

We do not achieve mindfulness. We are mindfulness. Even if our thoughts wander, we can still be aware in that moment. When the judgment creeps in that we are not “doing it right,” it equates to beating ourselves up for not breathing or digesting in the right way. Allow the self to fully experience the whole of the moment, and settle in knowing that all is okay and perfect as it is.





In mindfulness practice, you train to observe so that you feel able to respond, rather than react, to what you are feeling in the moment.

Training for Balance

Training for Balance

In life we can train for moments of physical, mental, and emotional balance so that when the storms of life happen, we have the strength and agility to bounce back.

...
Times are uncertain, the future unknown. But we do have control over how we respond or react to a perceived situation. When we try to control these aspects of our life, it equates to a bird grasping tightly on a wire.

Same Old Story:

"The most important question anyone can ask is: 

What myth am I living?"    - Carl Jung

We can see our current story themes by looking at what is (or isn’t) flowing in our life, annoying or frustrating us, or what just feels bad. 

Water knows to flow around the rocks, which divert it to the path of least resistance. Life is always unfolding to the best outcome. You choose what you want to see.

More "Woo Hoo"; Less "Woo Woo": Choosing to Live a Congruent Life

I sat like an indentured servant in a windowless office counting off the hours and days to vacation like a prison sentence. Even when you love your work, an inner pull--a void--that is ignored can drain the life out of you. So many people endure this drudgery waiting for retirement when they hope to finally live the life they think they want. Think about how many days your life is on hold for that future moment. 

The true spiritual path is our ability to move through the world, interact with others, and learn from our experiences.

Energy: Give A Little, Get A Lot

Putting energy into your vision can be as simple as showing up as if what you want has already happened.

Don’t sit inside waiting for the world of adventure to knock on your door. At least open the door to let the world know you are home!

Work with your mind and with the flow of nature to take action for the life you want. Give a little energy and it will give back exponentially. That is why it matters to focus on the positive so the actions moving forward are aligned with where you are going. 

At least get up and open your metaphorical door to infinite possibilities!

Tune to the Station Playing Your Music

Our discontent comes from a mistaken belief that we have to earn our way as a human. We push harder toward a moving target and end up feeling exhausted, jaded, and grasping ever-so-tightly to a goal that does not belong to us.

Ask What Makes You Come Alive

In a congruent life, we feel connected to a purpose and a passion, regardless of our physical work. Even the dullest job can feel exciting if you are able to offer your own unique creative spin on it. This is more than a paycheck to pay bills, and not about finding that dream job. It is about sparking the creative passion within you to bring to whatever you are doing. Your work does not define you or your purpose. You do, from within.

Trusting in the Safety Net

Safety means you can walk away from what does not serve you without fear—the fear that adds resistance to the choices necessary for change.

Your life remains in a holding pattern circling around your dreams until you decide it is time to land.

You can weigh the risks, analyze the statistics, and speculate about the future, but you are burning daylight on the steps you could be taking for a more adventurous, joyful life—professionally and personally.

Negating a Negativity Funk

Manage your own negativity funk by recognizing what is working in your life. Appreciate the people, places, and things that support you. We create intimacy when we hold a safe space for people to share who they are and what they want.  Learn to ask questions and listen to others, so you can reflect the positive you wish to receive. Hold the vision of a fortunate outcome for others you meet, and by all means, do not hijack their dreams.

Anticipate Possibilities

Rather than anticipate possible adversity, we could instead cultivate courage....Our powerful minds could be better used as a tool for finding the infinite possibilities.

Vision: See the Magic of Uncertainty

Vision encompasses more than just “seeing” what we want. It also requires internal magic summoned by feeling the manifestation of that vision.

Even if you don’t quite have a clear vision for your castle, start building anyway. You may be pleasantly surprised.

And, you can always start again. You are everything you need.
