It's about the Ride

The destination, truly,

is all but meaningless.

It can be a HUGE distraction

that shoots us out of our bodies

as we desperately try

to already BE in the future

while regretting ourselves

in the moment,

(not to mention the past).

We lose this magnificent moment;

the only moment

where our power is.

And the thing that causes illness

the thing that causes self-doubt

the thing that causes pain and suffering

is resisting ourselves,

our own experiencing,

in this moment.

Resisting this magnificent Being

that we are. Right now.

Say “Yes” to that. Say 'Yes" to self,

to movement, to sensation

to breath, to being.

Feel and be with what is,

here, in this moment.

That's IT!

There is no more!

Of course, there’s more.

There’s always more!

But we don’t have to

NOT enjoy ourselves NOW

because there will be MORE to us,

more OF us,

in the future.

Denying ourselves aliveness,

pleasure and satisfaction now,

because we’ll be something

HEALING THE WOUND OF NON-SUPPORT

We must receive support before we can ever give it Many of us were born and raised in homes where we did not receive the support we really needed in order to feel safe, seen, grounded, and valued. For whatever reasons, our parents and families and perhaps even our communities were unable to give us enough responsive attention for us to anchor a feeling of being empowered and supported into our Beings. Because we did not receive this support for our very Being, our essence, we came to distrust ourselves and those around us. We became unable to receive support, even when it was sincerely offered. We came to feel that we were a burden and that we didn’t deserve to have support or feel supported. We tried to make it through our lives by being totally self-sufficient. Since we couldn’t receive support, we reasoned, maybe we didn’t need it. We managed for quite some time in this way. But we found that we were unable to feel totally at ease with ourselves and ...

What's MY calling?

I woke up the other morning, once again acutely aware of the fact that I was still searching for a TITLE for myself. One that fit my calling in this life. The title, or term ’Coach’ has always been an option, but has never been a clear fit for me. Adviser, consultant, mentor, teacher, trainer, hostess, facilitator… all these seem to hold an aspect of what I’m about. So I once again my mind suggested and toyed with all of these terms. But none seemed to feel just right. Just like in the story of The Three Bears , all these terms seemed too hot, too cold, too big, too small, too hard, or too soft. I didn’t want to settle until I found a title that felt, Just Right . And none of these comfortably fit me. So once again I sat with some disappointment and frustration, unable to nail a title that I could sit inside of with complete contentment. Accepting my failure with a deep sigh, I let go. I let go of the striving and surrendered. I dropped into a quiet stillnes...
