“Discomfort is aroused only to bring the need for correction into awareness.” Course in Miracles.
We just celebrated National Siblings Week.
It was both bittersweet and filled with love for me.
You see, to ignite my courage to change, I had to make a tough decision regarding my biological family a few years back: I had to excommunicate them in order to find myself.
It was not an easy...

You’ve had the same 3 items on your to-do list for the last month.
You know you want to get them done.
You know that these activities will help you out.
You know that they are important to you.
What’s getting in the way?
There may be something larger at play than you realize…
Resistance.
It shows up in the most deceptive ways, concealing itself, masquerading as something...

You press the snooze button for 6th time.
You wait until the very last minute to get into work.
You park your car facing out so you can get the hell out of there ASAP.
You are the first to leave at the end of the day.
You are really good at what you do. You’ve proven yourself at work and you are a professional who is well respected in her field. From all outward appearances, you are...

You’ve had enough. The bureaucracy at your JOB has left you feeling depleted. You feel frustrated, unfulfilled, seeking change. The career choice you made back in your 20′s no longer seems to fit your life. Something in you has shifted.
You’re afraid to make change as your JOB gives you a paycheck you can count on.
You feel like you’re dying inside.

You are successful. The slate blue C70 Volvo convertible in your driveway proves that you’ve “arrived.”
You believe that working hard pays off, that you deserve the best, that family and friends come first and that time is money.
You have no qualms spending big bucks: from appliances to therapists – knowing that quality is the way to go.
Your coffee table is piled high...

“If you were made to choose one of these passions, which one would you keep?” my business coach, asked me.
I panicked.
Live without BOTH in my life?
I am a Gemini. It is in my nature to be creating and to be involved in several projects at once. I am a multi-passionate entrepreneur who follows the next and the next creative impulse…. When I do, I feel alive….What fills...
