In the past couple of weeks, I have heard some of you talk about an imposing and consuming force wrecking havoc…overwhelm.

Let’s open the closet door and turn on a light to look at this most hideous monster. All of you know what overwhelm feels like so I won’t wear out your adrenal glands regaling you with the symptoms of this monstrosity. Suffice it to say it feels like going through a car wash without your car.

Like most monsters, once you shine a light on them, they turn out not be a monster at all. Yet, if you don’t stop to look, the roar gets louder, the pounding gets harder and light can fall into darkness. Continue reading →

I moved to Vancouver, B.C. and didn’t tell you.

Except, now I am telling you.

Welcome September!

I am a big fan of Fall. Summer is the preferred season for most and with my birthday in August you’d think it would be mine too, but no, I’m a fall/winter gal. With California’s drought and climate changes, I expect I won’t see it until January.

As I braved a high-noon Sun for a walk, I caught my mind wrestling with a number of subjects that could use solutions. Continue reading →

Is there an art to asking?

Posted on June 15, 2015 by Lori B

 

 

 

 

 

This will be short. I have something I want to share about ASKING. Yep, asking.

How do you feel about asking? Is it okay to ask? Do you have judgments about it? Do have any fears? How do you feel when you are asked?
