The Power and Promise of Feeling Blessed; a Practice, not a Permanent. This October, we are talking about #blessed.  On good days, this is delightful… other days, I want to burn the hashtag.  However, in our 50/50 way, I’m feeling all the feels and working on it.  When you actively seek out the experience of feeling blessed, you are creating a distinct energy.  That energy and emotion, also known...

Years ago, my favorite movie was Hillary Duff in ‘The Perfect Man’.  A cute rom-com, it had beautiful actors, beautiful scenery, and beautiful music.  When I was sad or stressed or overloaded, I could go to that movie, get swallowed up, and create my own, personal illusion of a perfect day.  Was my day really perfect? No, but I usually felt better.   But, this is real life.  And this is one of tho...

Saundra Dalton-Smith inspired me this week with the idea that Sacred Rest isn’t just for Sunda...

We can either live in a world of miracles or mediocrity.   And while I believe, like the Music Man, that mediocrity is not a mortal sin,I also believe in miracles.  Every. Single. Day.   A miracle has been defined as a wonder. Synonyms include marvel, healing, opened, restored.  Now, I don’t know about you, but miracles have been in my life all week long.  Wonder:  When I turn on the faucet, clean...

CMHCoaching.com Just before a recent new moon, we had a very, very, very dark night.  You know the kind.  It’s inky and unusually black when you turn out the lights.  It can even be dark enough to give one the heeby jeebies.  Creepy dark! This particular night, or should I say early morning, it was 2am, I opened my eyes to the blackness and somehow managed to bump my Apple watch.  It was on my nig...

Come see us at CMHCoaching.com It was a rough morning.   This is what I heard as I listened to my inner dialogue I woke up tired. Complained. There was a glitch with the bills. Worried. My schedule changed unexpectedly. Felt taken for granted. More work piled up. Felt a lack of control.  My back hurt. Worried about it escalating and having to stop and not accomplish all that “needs" to be don...

I hope you had a lovely Mother’s Day yesterday.   Women are so important to the world!  When I was a little girl, my Mom made my school lunches.  I had an Archie Comic Book lunch box- Veronica was my favorite.  All the little kids carried lunch boxes. Then, the day came when I grew up enough to have a brown paper bag for lunch instead of a lunchbox.  That was a special day.  All the big kids at sc...

Today is a brand new day and I can do anything I want with it! Today is a new day- right? It’s the fresh beginning of a new week.  A Gift.  But do I really get to do anything I want with it? There a a nagging objection there.  I mean, I have appointments and commitments and promises to keep. Is what’s on my list what I want? If you are feeling heavy in life, maybe it’s time to look again at what y...

Come see us at CMHCoaching.com! I grew up feeling a lot of shame. Not belonging and not feeling like I fit in, I sensed that I was different.  I felt like I needed to hide and not be my true self.   Always asking, “What is it that will make me lovable and valuable enough to feel like I belong?” I was always seeking for the next great thing so I could change myself. I was constantly looking and nev...

Come see us at CMHCoaching.com! This morning, I had the great fortune of an early phone call with two other women of faith. I sat in my garden just at sunrise, hearing the birds' morning song and almost seeing the leaves opening on our apple tree. A fluorescent cardinal was among the wrens on the branches, and somewhere in the distance, a woodpecker was digging out his breakfast. I gazed out o...

Come see us at CMHCoaching.com It has been said that where God closes a door, he opens a window.  However, I prefer the bigger, better imagery of “Where God closes a window, He opens a door.”  That door opening is sometimes 3-4 times larger than the window, and goodness, with the door open, the light just floods in.  We only need to be present to see and accept it. (And choose to open the door.) T...
