Is Your Muchness not so Much?
“You’re not the same as you were before,” he said. You were much more… muchier… you’ve lost your muchness.” - Mad Hatter, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (2010) If you are waking up feeling the world is rather bland, that taste has somewhat lost its flavor or that color has lost its brilliance, you may have lost your “muchness.” Merriam-Webster defines “muchness” as the quality or state of being in great quantity, extent or degree. In Tim Burton’s 2010 version of Alice...
read moreDo you have a flabby ask?
I confess I have had a flabby ask the majority of my life. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “flabby” as weak and ineffective; and the word “ask” as to make a request of/from. Asking can be very difficult for women. Many of us grew up believing that asking for anything meant we were weak, that we were selfish for wanting something because, in our family of origin, it would mean it would take away from another, or that one would be a nuisance for a having the audacity to want. In not asking, beliefs were formed,...

“If, in the many facets of life at which we are destined to be average, we come up a little short, so what? But is we fail at the thing by which we define ourselves and at which we hope to prove special, That’s Serious.” ~ Peter Buffett, author of Life is What We Make of It You might think that the number one reason why women cannot follow their passions is MONEY. Sure, it takes time to find a way to secure a paycheck doing what you love. But that’s NOT the #1 reason. There is another, deeper, more insidious...

“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 decision. But the discomfort I felt around them was like an indicator light telling me that something was “off.” That I needed to do what was right...
read moreCan’t get through your “to do” list? This may be why…
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 else. Just to keep you in your Zone of Comfort. It is not in the Zone of Comfort that we grow. And, I know, you would not be reading this if you were not...

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 truly successful: your kids are in college, your ex is paying you alimony, you got the home… you are living the life. Aren’t you? So why...

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. And yet there’s something you want to do. It is not related in any way, shape or form to what you’ve been doing for the past few years. You think...

” Still don’t know what I was waiting for, and my time was running wild A million dead-end streets and, every time I thought I’d got it made It seemed the taste was not so sweet,so I turned myself to face me.” David Bowie I’m so unhappy in my job, but it gives me a paycheck I can count on. This is the only thing I’m qualified to do. My daughters are going after their dreams, what’s so hard about going after mine? We all go through changes, day in and day out.

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 with copies of Cooking Light, Shape Magazine, Vogue and Inc. (mind you, you haven’t had a chance to read them, yet.) You have a closet created...
