Have you ever noticed how much words can have an impact on your outlook on life, your results

AND the people around you?  I certainly have lately and it was pointed out to me by a dear friend who just happens to be a fabulous coach!  She shared with me, that I have been saying the same "words" about my ex-husband for many years, and asked when I was going to be ready to drop them and move forward.  I smiled, laughed out loud and said "NOW" and thanked her for being so honest with me!

A kind word can lift you up or save a bad day.  They can describe who we are/once were, who we are not, who we want to be.  They can evoke emotion and inspiration.
Words can also be Villains and weapon-like.  Words can hurt and break.  When used irresponsibility or without thinking, they can do unthinkable damage...to you and to those around you.

Your words truly impact others.  Words can help as much as they can hurt, .......read more here

What is an Opposite Word of Avoidance?

Are you Avoiding?
*  A terribly uncomfortable situation -  "I'll deal with it later."
*  Starting to exercise  - "I can start tomorrow."
*  I'm not happy in my relationship or my career  - "Perhaps one day it will change".

Dealing with my feelings from the past - Let's take something, numb myself, busy myself or just skip over that, so I don't have to feel it.

Avoidance is something that many people (myself included) become familiar with.  Whether a feeling or a situation is too intense, too painful or brings one face-to-face with their fears, avoidance can become a coping mechanism that also can become a ticking time bomb.


Let's take a peek at addictive behaviors.  Most of the addictive behaviors, clients have shared with me (relationships, shopping, the scale, exercise, perfection, control, alcohol), have some level of avoidance buried deep within them - avoidance of childhood situations, avoidance of feeling the gravity of hurtful relationships, or .........click here to read more....

Make 2017 a Year to Remember...

The New Year is just around the corner (Woot!  Woot!), along with the tradition of making resolutions, which are typically promises to do something "more, better or different".  We promise ourselves to exercise more, get a better job, meditate, loose weight, fall in love, or find a different way to handle our stress. And, what I have found for myself in the past and what I hear from friends and clients is we all start out with super-duper intentions, and by early March (or even by the second week in January) we find ourselves not following through with those well-intended resolutions.  We revert back to old patterns and sometimes beat ourselves up for not sticking to the resolutions.  Are you wondering if there is a better way to ring in 2017 that would possibly serve us better?

Well,  I believe there is!  And I would like to share a New Year ritual with you, which read more.....

    ​I am a Relationship & Retreat Coach and Essential Oils Educator. I work intuitively and mindfully, paying very close attention to the healing needs of individuals in the moment. I believe we are a whole being—an emotional being, a physical being and an energetic-spiritual being—therefore, we must learn to meet the needs of all three to fully thrive.
    I love incorporating  essential oils into my clients sessions, because of the profound, immediate effect I have witnessed with them.. ​
