A few days ago I wrote a post called The Glimpse, where I talked about getting a peek at something I’ve always wanted and wondering if maybe that glimpse was the beginning of a shift. Well…last night I woke up at 3 a.m. I thought I would turn on a YouTube video and drift back…

I’ve heard people say so many times…”Just decide.” They make it sound so easy.  Decide.  Just decide.  I think that is a rather simplistic view and one that I would like to challenge.  I agree that some decisions are easier than others.  We decide things every day. Those aren’t the kinds of decisions I’m talking…

This morning I felt clear. Hopeful, even. I had been thinking deeply about some changes in my life and, for the first time in a while, the thought of making a decision actually felt peaceful. I was enjoying ordinary things again. My coffee. The morning light. Simple tasks. Then one comment from a customer completely…

Last evening as I was talking to a friend, I caught a glimpse of a part of me that I have tried to ignore, annihilate, and bury over the years.  It was just enough of a glimpse to feel a spark of hope that maybe… just maybe…that part of me is still alive.  Big.  Deep. …

I find it amazing how a conversation with a friend can bring me back to life after a busy, taxing day.  This afternoon when I got home, my friend Jennifer returned a call I had made earlier.  What started out as chit chat about our day ended up being a conversation about encouraging one another….

I’ve been sitting here thinking about being in the cocoon and wishing I was out and then I found myself asking questions like…”What would it take for me to get out of the cocoon? What would being out of the cocoon be like or feel like? What is in me that is trying to emerge?” …

I feel like I am living in a cocoon right now and to be honest…I am not having fun.  I am not who I used to be and not yet who I want to be.  Transformation is messy.  My life feels messy right now.  I am in the process of transforming much like a caterpillar…

Trust: To have or place confidence in; depend on. It’s day four of my 30-day blog promise to myself. I’m paying attention to the thoughts and feelings as they come up around it. It is getting a bit easier. I have accepted the fact I made the commitment. I have shown up for the first…

Feelings. The word alone stirs something in me. For much of my life, I think I treated feelings as facts. If I felt afraid, something must be wrong. If I felt sad, something must be missing forever. If I felt overwhelmed, maybe I really couldn’t handle what was in front of me. But I’m learning…
