Missing My Standing Ovation
Last month, after my keynote at Hay House’s I Can Do It! Ignite NYC conference, I walked off stage and since no one was right there to receive me and to shower me with positive reflection and energy, I immediately defaulted to the negative self-talk. So much so that I even went as far as […]
Light Your Own Fire
It’s a chilly snowy Christmas Day — or, for us Jews, Tuesday 😉 — and I’m home alone in Boulder where I just did something for the very first time…I lit a fire just for me! I have no idea if this seems like a big deal to you, but I’m recovering from a long-standing habit […]
run toward joy & fun – it’s self-sabotage not to
i got stuck last night. in an old pattern. again. even though i have been consciously driving myself toward new ways of relating, sometimes i forget my new navigation system and fall prey to habit. this time was a little different. i had the awareness, as it was happening, that an opportunity was being presented […]
Setbacks : Breakthroughs
This week, just when I thought certain less-than-enchanting behavior patterns of my past were dead and buried, I reverted to some old actions and reactions. As if the data comprising the new me had not been saved properly, I defaulted back to an earlier version. […]

“Sit in the possibility…without the logistics.” It’s a month later and her words still echo. I have great respect and gratitude for being seen by her, even when she has no qualms pointedly calling me out on my blinding Type-A-ness. “Sit in the possibility…without the logistics.” The audacity. […]

As I’m deciding on which poems from the newly revised and updated edition of my book Writing for My Life…Reclaiming the Lost Pieces of Me: A Poetic Journey to share with the audience, I’m also reflecting on […]
at last
Last week, while on my way to Miraval Resort in Tucson, Arizona for our annual retreat with Louise Hay and Cheryl Richardson, the craziest thing happened…I missed my flight! For the first time ever! In my whole life! The Denver airport was a zoo because of Spring Break. I was there in plenty of time…but […]
no now without then
Letting go has been on my mind a lot lately. And in my body. My big revelation: the key to letting go lies on the other side of actually inviting the memory in deep first. It seems like everywhere I turn right now I am being given the opportunity to dive in and then release. […]
unbound
unbound I was beyond honored when my dear friend Debbie Ford asked me to write a poem (see below!) for inclusion in her new book Courage: Overcoming Fear & Igniting Self-Confidence, and then totally blown away when she let me know that my poem will actually open the entire book…followed by a fabulous Forward by another near and […]
