Better Than Chocolate Eggs

This Easter weekend I spent some time gardening. It was a beautiful sunny day and so warm that I was comfortable in my T-shirt, jeans and bare feet. What a treat! I was in the midst of pulling weeds when I discovered to my great surprise a few sugar peas that were barely two inches tall. I had stuck the seeds into the ground about a month ago and after two [...]

How to Let Go of Self Sabotaging Behaviour

Often we stand in our own way of achieving and receiving what we most want. This happens when we believe that what we most want is only available in a bundled up fashion with something we don’t want at all.

Swimming Against the Stream is Natural… Not Just for Salmon – How to Discover Your Strengths

It is fascinating that the expression “to swim against the stream” is a metaphor for making choices in life that go against prevailing opinions. This is considered to be a challenge that is hard to attain. How interesting that we perceive natural phenomena to be difficult.

It is Never Too Late to Transform Your Life

Do you want to make some significant changes in your life, but somehow feel that you are too old to do that? You are not alone! When I begin working a new coaching client, we often discover a limiting belief: “I am too old to change my career, find my life partner, learn how to belly dance, travel alone, ….” Strangely it doesn’t really matter if the new client is 23 or 56 years old, the belief  [...]
