Decisions, Decisions, Decisions It is crazy-making to think about how many decisions you are making each day. Some of them are simple, and some of them put you into the spin-cycle. Making any decision from a place of fear, doubt, worry, anger or frustration places you in the victim space. Making any decision from a […]

  Sometimes I feel like I am “out of decides”. That place where it feels like I cannot make the simplest decisions – like “What shall I make for dinner” or “What will I wear today?” It happens when I’m tired, hungry, thirsty – or just generally stressed. When I try to force a decision […]

Feeling done? Angry? Frustrated? Or just plain old exhausted? Unproductive? Unmotivated? Challenged?   This is what I’m hearing – not only from my coaching clients, but from neighbours, friends and family members. It is the common thread in the conversation with the people I encounter in business, at the grocery store and on Facebook.   […]

How are you navigating the ever-changing landscape? Challenges staying present? Feelings of loneliness, frustration, worry? Or are you loving the slower pace, the time to reflect, the quiet.

There is a simple explanation – there is a lot going on. Humans are on a gigantic learning curve, and that takes a lot of energy. The […]

When I’m trying to figure out how things work, I turn to nature… Think of a potted plant that just isn’t doing as well as you would like it to. It’s not flowering, and the leaves are looking a little droopy. Digging up and examining the root system will not make the plant thrive – […]

I’ve been watching this once robust snowman on my street slowly dissolve as our temperatures climbed from -35C to +11C. Soon there will be nothing remaining of the once solid snowman.
