My friend Sheryl sent this to me this morning. I read it out loud to my fella and my son. He has written down what I have been feeling and thinking about.

“Deepok Chopra on the Palin effect”

Sometimes politics has the uncanny effect of mirroring the national psyche even when nobody intended to do that. This is perfectly illustrated by the rousing effect that Gov. Sarah Palin had on the Republican convention in Minneapolis this week. On the surface, she outdoes former Vice President Dan Quayle as an unlikely choice, given her negligent parochial expertise in the complex affairs of governing. Her state of Alaska has less than 700,000 residents, which reduces the job of governor to the scale of running one-tenth of New York City. By comparison, Rudy Giuliani is a towering international figure. Palin’s pluck has been admired, and her forthrigh tness, but her real appeal goes deeper.

She is the reverse of Barack Obama, in essence his shadow, (more…)

Greetings folks~

This week is National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week. I would like to invite you all to check out this link.  There are interesting blogs to read, some very cool and informative radio spots too listen to…and tons of information. If you or anyone you know suffers from a chronic health condition, please spend some time checking this site out.

I work with many folks who have invisible illnesses.  This invisibility to the outside world poses some very intense difficulties.  Folks look fine…folks might even look great…but, they feel very ill.  We live in a very visually based world and this sometimes translates into people thinking that since someone looks fine…that they are fine.

I have a startling example of this.  A friend of mine went to her GP for some help with one of her conditions.  She had lost a bunch of weight due to a digestive condition…when she eats solid food…she is in extreme pain.  Well, this doctor told her that she looked great and that she must be feeling better.  Hello??? Are you kidding me????  She has to live on a liquid diet!

As I said…we live in a very visual culture…even in the medical profession.

So for those of you who suffer from these sorts of conditions, know that you are not alone.  Know that there are people who can offer you support.  Know that there are people who care.

For those of you who know someone who lives with an invisible condition, I invite you to check out: National Invisible Chronic Illness Week

One of my favorite questions to ask people is: "What is your soul giving birth too?"

If I am working with some one in a relationship, I ask them: "What is your relationship wanting to give birth too?"

This can apply to your relationship with your kids, friends and coworkers: "What is this relationship wanting to give birth too?"

Even if you have a health concern, this is such an interesting and lovely way to explore your inner journey with the illness: "What is this illness wanting to give birth too?"

Many times we already (more…)

Greetings gorgeous readers!

I have been busy with my 45 day Boundless Living Challenge. I blog about my progress and read many other blogs and supporting other folks progress. So, I have been feeling sorta blogged out. But, this morning I decided that it is time to visit with you.

Plus, I got something really cool to share with you.

I am just so proud of myself…this is big…really BIG…I mean (more…)

Hi there!

I wrote the other day about joining a 45 day challenge group.

And today is day 4.

Have I done anything on my list of things to complete?

Uh…..NO!

I have been in hand to hand combat with my inner critic and my inner procrastinator. At this point my inner critic (who happens to look like a nun) is off praying or doing whatever nuns do when they are not tormenting me!

And my inner procrastinator? (more…)

Good morning fabulous readers!

I recently decided to join Bob Doyle in his 45 day Boundless Living Challenge.

Check it out if you feel inspired….it has turned into quite the huge gathering of folks with everyone focusing on a very cool variety of challenges. Yesterday was the first day, so if this is your kind of thing…you are not to late to join.

I don’t usually join these kind of things… for whatever reason… but this time I was very inspired. The focus of my challenge is to complete some things for my business that I have been unable to finish…due to being sick…being spaced out….procrastinating…whatever! So, now that I am feeling dandy…I am ready to go.

After I posted the focus for my challenge (everyone keeps a blog of their process), my inner critic came in a had quite a good time (more…)
