Has Grenelda Thurman jumped into your life and created some chaos? She is such a great reminder to pay attention. She does all those things you never would do intentionally.

Mocha and computer on table Have you ever done something that you thought was really stupid and then beat yourself up for it? It wasn’t what you had intended at all. That is often a sign that Grenelda or Herman Thurman have stepped into your life. If you were paying attention you never would have ...

Do you ask for what you want? Do you even let yourself know what you want?

Many, many flavors of ice cream! Begin to ask for what you want. Imagine what it would mean for you to know what you want and then ask for it (from yourself or others). It changes everything! Here’s a simple example of asking for what you want. How often do you choose the same old […]

Inspiration comes to us via many avenues. What helps you hear those whispers of inspiration?

Woman sitting in chair, reading, and drinking a mocha. What inspires you to take action? How do you prime the pump to take action rather than simply think about something? Priming the pump is an oldie, but a goodie about getting a start to create flow. The chatter in your mind can keep you running [...

I'm curious about how you connect with people. How are you planning on connecting with people you haven't seen in a while?

Woman holding abalone shell burning sage This has been an incredibly complicated 18 months. As things start to open up, how will you reconnect? Last week I was delighted to see people’s smiles at an outdoor cafe. I felt giddy! We all smiled, said hello, and were happy to see each other. And, I’m...

We've been hunkered down for a long time. Check in with yourself and find what lights you up and do more of that!

What are the things that not only bring you joy, but actually light you up? What are the things that dim your light? It’s time to give yourself permission to want things and delight in them. Here’s a way to start – write two lists – things that light you up and things that dim […]

Is the Hokey Pokey your go-to? What if you started taking small steps toward what you really want?

Penguins Doing the Hokey Pokey Do you use the Hokey Pokey model for taking action? Do you put your right foot in, take your right foot out, put your right foot in, and shake it all about? That strategy actually leads to taking no action, at all. It means that you are standing in one […]

Check out the short video about Life Energies in the article below!

Did you know that your Life Energies can either match your work or be contrary to it? There are three Life Energies – Aliveness, Truth, and Workability – and you have all three.

How are you handling sheltering in place? Life Energies helps to explain how it's affecting each of us differently.

People are handling sheltering in place in very different ways. Part of that has to do with Life Energies. When you see how your primary Life Energy plays into how you are feeling and responding, you can begin to be kinder to yourself and others. A quick refresher about Life Energies (click here or....

What has you waiting rather than taking action? Are you ready to take one, small step in the direction of your dreams? Maybe that first step is to let yourself dream!

Are you waiting for everything to line up perfectly? Has your fear of not getting it right stopped you in your tracks? Are you waiting for the situation to resolve itself? Have you adopted the strategy of wishing and hoping? By the way, I’ve found that strategy doesn’t work. Think about how much...

Do you know your Life Energies? It explains a lot! It also helps to explain why "they" do things so differently than you do.

My original name tag declaring my Life Purpose and Life Energies Have you wondered why you are so different from your family, friends, or co-workers?

How do you stop "mind spin" when you have been blindsided?

There are many ways to handle the unexpected. Some serve us well and others, not at all. We have “go to” ways of dealing with surprises. Do you react or do you respond? When you feel blindsided do you – add drama, get really quiet and go inside, or kick into high gear and take action, …

I love it when other people are talking purpose. And, even better, to be quoted in the article!

You may be absolutely certain what you’re meant to do in this life. Or maybe you’re still wondering. Maybe you’re not even sure people really have a Life Purpose, much less how to figure out what yours might be. Purpose has been on my mind since I listened to a podcast from my friends at…

What is your Life Purpose? How would knowing it change things for you?

It matters that you have lived and that you have a Life Purpose. You are already giving your Life Purpose and you have been since you were a small child! Who knew??? When you identify your purpose you can be more present and aware. An interaction can be a small moment or an irreversible encounter ...

Where are you in liminal space or cell soup? And, what the heck does that mean anyway? Read on, it answers a lot of questions about why you might be feeling that sense of discontent.

Do you feel stuck in neutral? You might actually be in liminal space. Liminal space is that space between spaces. It’s as if you are standing in a doorway, not yet in and not yet out. Another way to describe it comes from my friend, Bev Grall. She talks about “cell soup.” Cell soup is …

What would it take for you to become more visible, more fully seen?

How often are you fully visible? Do you have this push/pull where you want to be seen, but also want to hide out? You want to say and do what you know is the thing that will make a difference and yet, you don’t want to risk being judged. Do you have an unconscious fear …
