  • Daily Spark: “Done is the New Perfect”

    My coach Sam Crowley is fond of saying “done is the new perfect”. As a recovering perfectionist, who wants to polish, refine, procrastinate, for fear of it not being perfect, this message is a powerful push to DO, to finish, to move forward!

  • The Twisty, Perfect Path

    Sometimes, as we take baby steps in the directions of our dreams, the path becomes a bit twisty.  We often end up taking detours that turn us in slightly different directions in the creative process.  But often those twists and turns end up being the perfect path!

  • Daily Spark: How to Live Longer

    I have come across a few studies recently on longevity and some characteristics of people who have lived over 100 years. Some of the findings are that people with strong social connections may live longer and healthier lives. As we connect with like-minded people, and really take action steps in the direction of our dreams,…

  • Daily Spark: Two Heads are Better Than One

    I’m a big believer in finding connections and support for your creative journey. How are you doing with creating some connection and support for yourself?  Do you have some like-minded folks to help you?  Because I have found that when I follow the Muppets advice, and sing along, “Two Heads are better than o-o-one” I really…

  • Get Curious

    When receiving feedback, a good tool to use to process is to “Get Curious”.  When we are curious we are eager to know or learn something, and we provide a more analytical, inquisitive approach.

  • Daily Spark: Creation is Messy

    I like order, but I have come to realize that Creation can be messy! When I intentionally create, when I take steps in faith, with all the messiness, then “providence moves too”.  There is so much help for me, both on the physical and spiritual plane, when I am taking action in faith.  Have you…

  • Daily Spark: A Shower a Day

     I am going to treat some of my daily tasks as if they are as simple, as taken for granted, as easy as taking a shower every day.  Not anything to stress about, or have fear about my ability to continue, or to waste even a moment of today’s precious time in concern about.  Just…

  • The Perils of Giving Advice

    It can be hard to simply hold space for another, to provide effective support, without giving advice.  Mirroring the words, mirroring the feelings, and being present, is so much more helpful than giving advice, but sometimes much harder to do!

  • Daily Spark: What is Your More?

    Knowledge has slowly come to me over the last decade on how human, natural, and even spiritual it is to desire more – more life, more experiences, more love . . .  to allow the creator to experience more life through me, through us! So what does “more” mean to you?  What experiences do you want…

  • Daily Spark: The Call of Your Gift

    In his poem “A Blessing For Presence”, John O’Donahue said, and I quote, “May you respond to the call of your gift, and find the courage to follow its path.” I love those words, as I have felt the calling to my very soul to pause and give the gift of my presence to my…
