I recorded this video last week, when I had a 4 day migraine that would not respond to meditation. Didn’t edit or post it, because that was a bit much for me in that condition. Also here – realizing that the spiritual component, faith and my relationship with God – is what *all* of this [...]
For When You Try So Hard.
On Friday morning, I prayed. I closed my eyes as I sat in front of my iMac at 5:52 AM and typed, “I try so hard.” This is what I got back. – It’s not that hard. It’s actually simple. Focus on what is really important. What you really do for people. Focus. Keep things [...]
EveryDay6: Tracking, Budgets, and Cool Stuff I'm Not Telling You About Yet.
It’s been five weeks since I started this experiment. I thought of not doing this video today, since it’s already so late in the day and I’m tired …. but I made a commitment and I’m keeping to it. I’m excited about changing my tracking around, about bold new things I’m doing that I know [...]
Do You Write or Speak Your Truth?
I consider myself a writer. Because writing brings something particular out of me, something deep and vulnerable. But … writing is *hard* for me. If I feel blocked, if I want to create tons of content really fast, if I’m teaching something complicated – it’s easiest, a natural expression, fastest for me to speak. Whether [...]
EveryDay5: Back on the Wagon and Going Raw
This week I fell off the wagon a bit, neglecting to record things in my log and not doing some stuff that I started doing last year (stretching, daily tidying, etc.). And I bet I’m not alone – how many “new years resolution” people have had a glitch in their resolution, and given up by [...]
As if hospice was coming tomorrow …
“Mommy, I miss you. Please let me stay home with you today.” She had been pleading ever since I picked her up at her Dad’s house, and here we were, sitting in the parking lot at school, cuddling in the front seat, as she asked one last time. But instead of quickly answering that of [...]
EveryDay4: Burnout, Compartmentalization, and My Lighting is Messed Up
It’s the fourth video of the EveryDay Project (or experiment? I still don’t know what I’m calling this thing), at the end of my third full week. Amazing how much my life is different, how much I have grown, in just a few weeks. So what happened this week? Yes, I did a launch a [...]
EveryDay3: Turning a Corner
I can’t believe this is just the second full week of EveryDay. Lots happened this week – less about the stuff I did (even though I did start the INFJ Facebook Group which is awesome!) but more about what I learned. (I’m also having compassion for myself, for the fact that the lighting on this [...]
Where Anger Lives.
Nausea. That was what I felt when my Rolfing guy pushed on a spot deep inside my hip during our session Friday afternoon. I didn’t just feel his pressure in my hip, I felt a sickening feeling deep inside my abdomen. Foreign. Undefined. A part of myself I had no connection to, no understanding with, [...]
EveryDay 2: Is Bigness a Side Effect?
This was a big week for me. Personally, businessy, blog trafficy. But I can’t decide – did the bigness come out of the bold acts that I did, or did the bigness come as a side effect?
