Make a 2012 Declaration that Sticks
In December I promised to share my thoughts and practices on making declarations. Declarations can support a shift in our habits whether it is a habit in how we think, feel, or move. Declarations versus resolutions can be embodied... become a part of who we are versus something we just think we should do or be. The first step is to begin with how you desire to be. "For the sake of what" are you intending to be differently?

Allow a Little Magic in Your Day
A client recently sent me an email wishing me "a little magic in my day". Just accepting that thought into my heart allowed me to find some magic in that day. Unknown to my client he had sent his email on the first anniversary of my mother's passing. As I began my day, I had wondered if it would be a difficult day with lots of sad thoughts coming my way. The thought in this email allowed me to see things differently and what came... all-be-it with some sadness... were thoughts around the "magic" of her passing.

What Does Your Presence Reveal?
Is this the color "the beach you are" reveals? Did you expect your beach to show up as white, tan, or black, and it showed up orange to others? What happened? Our "beach" shows up as who we are as a total being. Our presence is the whole of us... not just what we say. It is what we feel in our hearts at that moment. It includes what thoughts are on our minds... whether from yesterday or in the present or maybe in the future. And it includes how we are holding our bodies... slumped over or standing tall... and so much more!

How Does Shifting Your Presence Affect Others?
We each have presence felt by others at any point in time. Our presence is all that is subconsciously felt by others and, for some even consciously felt. To me it is the way our life energy is flowing at that moment.

It all depends on what emotions are available to you
Last month we discussed the various ways that energy is flowing within you and how the energy of one person affects the energy of another. In this issue we will discuss how the flow of energy within us allows for certain emotions to be felt... or not. The flow of energy supports us living within a certain mood and not others. Our emotions and moods predispose us to certain actions and so each emotion or mood allows us to take certain actions and not others.r

I Forgot my Purpose!!??
Sometimes the answer we desire is in what we are forgetting. I was at a conference recently where we found our coach in nature. You know, you sit in front of whatever and you ask a question and wait to see what comes. The first time I talked with my coach, she very wisely guided me with an answer to my question, so I went back the next day with a question for which I desperately wanted an answer. I asked, I waited, I asked again. My coach appeared to be very quiet this day, so I decided to go on a long walk.

My Power is Within My Vulnerability
Previously I wrote about "Forgetting my Purpose". July is about remembering where to find My Power. Acting from a place of power allows me to speak from my authentic self and accomplish what serves me as well as those around me. It takes courage to do this, but what I discovered last week is that only when I also allow myself to be vulnerable will I truly... even easily... realize my power.r

Making Meaning out of Passing Loved Ones
Two more people who were close to me or someone in my family have passed in the last month. This brings the number to five for 2011 and I'm pondering the meaning of it all for me. Is it my age and what I should prepare myself to experience more and more? Is this my year to learn some deep meaning around death? Is this just "life happening"? How can my coaching distinctions serve me and those around me? Importance of Celebration of Life
