Like a dog, when idle for too long, without exercise and entertainment, begins to pace, nudge, divert energy into chewing, barking and possibly other behavior we would consider destructive. My brain does something similar. I am very good at distracting it. And I thought that’s all I need. As long...
Fall is here. I know, I know, it has been here for a few weeks already. But sometimes it takes me a while to really recognize what is happening around me. Seeing with my eyes is not really noticing. When I see with my heart and my soul, when all my other senses are engaged, that is when I am with...
I came across a beautiful poem today with the same title by a remarkable woman. Najwa Zebian is a Lebanese Canadian author, poet, speaker and educator. Her poetry reflects her experiences, and speaks to the wounded soul of so many of us. I want to share this particular poem with you because when...
I used to dread Sundays Not Mondays, but Sundays They were the worst day of my week They stood for Good-byes Good bye to the weekend to worry-free time to my grandparents that I had to leave back on my bicycle, later my motorcycle, and then the train to my new home which was not my old home On...
I am beginning to realize That loving myself doesn’t mean I have to accept everything about me the way it is Loving myself means being patient with change But taking steps forward, every day It means forgiving myself when I take a wrong turn But going back on the path I started It also means...
For half of my life (at least as of recently) I wandered around aimlessly. I didn’t really have a plan other than what I thought life required: a home that could be admired, a stable job with upward movement, and plenty of fun and entertainment in the form of travel, trendy restaurants, parties,...
I had coffee with a stranger today. I am proud of myself. One of my priorities this year is to network more. Networking is the socially acceptable term for the simple act of getting out and meeting people. It’s something you do when you realize one or more of the following: You don’t have anyone...
Sometimes life is all darkness. We don’t know how we can go on. We are unable to see past this. Its all-consuming. It appears that the worst has happened. We lose our job right in the middle of a difficult financial time. An important relationship is coming to an end and we are heart-broken. We...
Saying more NO to get more YES Most of the time - I feel truly inundated. I somehow seem to be in a constant decision-making mode. Like the clothes in my closet, stuff accumulates in my life. There are these never-ending red numbers on the icons on my phone, indicating so-called messages and...
I have a very conflicted relationship with mornings. I guess that’s true for everything that is at once a beginning and an end. Waking up is like coming alive every day. I can’t say for sure where I was the 7 hours prior – most likely in my bed. But I could have been sleepwalking. Either way, it...
I have been silent for a few weeks with this podcast and this episode is an attempt to explain my reasons. And while there are many potential explanations – the bottom line is this – I haven’t gotten it done. And while I am tempted to blame 2020 with all its newness and not-normalness, I have also have to be honest with myself. I had ideas, but they haven’t turned into action. This episode may resonate with many of you as I am certain we all in stuck in some areas of our life. And to get unstuck, we just need to take one small step. This episode is my first step.
