Did you know that you can work on stuff while you sleep? I don’t mean the frustrating work dreams where you just keep churning through whatever you’ve got going on during the day. I mean working through things, opening up creativity and solving problems while you sleep. I’m not really sure when or how it […]
I really want to write something amazing and inspirational for this day of gratitude. I want to write something not pithy and trite and cliché. I’m kind of stumped, so I’ll just go with honest. This year, Thanksgiving is a difficult day. It just doesn’t feel possible to set everything aside and focus on gratitude. […]
I’ve been working on letting go of things that aren’t mine: thoughts, responsibilities, fears and worries, mostly. Of course, the whole “why does it have to be so hard” stuff comes up. As you probably know, I don’t ride to school on the anything worth doing must be a struggle bus. I wait for the […]
What happens to chaos if you don’t engage? Nothing. It just goes on its merry way. What happens to you if you don’t engage in chaos? Nothing…and everything. If you don’t engage in chaos, it pretty much leaves you alone. It might swirl around you, but you can sit there in the eye of the […]
Are you tired? I am. I’m tired of so much noise. I’m tired of all the unpleasant crap 2020 has brought. I could go on and on making a list of things that I’m tired of… But really, I’m just tired. Exhausted. Frayed. My brain is full. My heart is heavy. I’m a bit anxious. […]
The BS Files are kinda like the X-files – full of myths and urban legends and mysterious things. I feel that it is my duty to tackle them (occasionally). Because, you know, the truth is out there. Case #14. Fear is fuel. Bullsh*t! I read this on a coaching page yesterday and I was surprised […]
Let’s talk about gold thinking. I need gold thinking. Maybe we all do. I’ve been craving a good coloring session, one where I sit down in quite and color in a mandala. I’ve really been craving metallic colored pencils, especially gold and rose gold. Hmmm. Why? I think it’s because I am spending a lot […]
I love to mix my metaphors. I do it all the time. I especially like this mixed up metaphor, which has been attributed to various sources. I like to believe that it’s originally from David Lee Roth. I mean, you can’t say “brain science” because that IS a thing. I mean, that would make sense. […]
This week, this month (this year?) has been a wild, anxiety inducing ride. I’ve noticed myself falling back into an old and very uncomfortable pattern – checking every 15 minutes to find out if something new and alarming has happened. Have there been any new developments? I happen to live in the California wine country, […]
I wrote a really fun blog this weekend. It was all polished up and scheduled and ready to go out by Sunday afternoon. Then, Sunday night there were the emergency alerts coming in fast and furious on the phone. Evacuations. Fast moving fires. Deja frickin’ vu. At this point, I’m okay but several of my […]
