Breathe Again
In the Hawaiian culture there is a practice called Ho'oponopono. Its essence is about restoring harmony within yourself if you're experiencing emotional discomfort. The idea is to release the emotional charge you are having at a given moment. In the practice, you repeat four phrases that you direct inward to the part of you that is holding a momentary emotional charge be it a memory, a belief, or reaction. The phrases you repeat are: I'm sorry - acknowledges awareness of dis

Year's End
Yesterday I took a bit of time to reflect on the fact that yet another year is quickly coming to an end. What you don't know about me is that currently I work part-time at Trader Joe's as a crew member. I chose this employment while building my coaching business for different reasons. It is close to my home, I earn decent money, I have some benefits, I get to interact with the public, and I get to constantly move my body. But, what I most appreciate about this job is how much

Story Life
Life is a story Made of moments, feelings, thoughts, days, and so much more Tell me…what is your story? Are you in a peak, a valley? Or are you standing still? What have you learned?

Talking
Sometimes there are tornadoes The world spinning round and round on the outside As I stand observing from the inside In the eye of it all In my own hell, or well, of emotions Noticing the chaos Barbie and Ken dolls running amuck Safety nets ripped to shreds People hating and killing others Thugs being bullies to innocent, scared children And Noticing the beauty A precious, brand new little one Tail-wagging puppies and kittens tickling children A breathtaking oil painting sky
