Reflections
We sometimes have a hard time starting a ritual for being grateful. Here is a great 'How to' on creating a Grateful Ritual!
So that's what I want to reflect on today – some quick reminders about the things you, too, likely forget to say "thank you" for:
"Thank you for life's surprises." – Notice and cherish life's surprises. Just because it's not what you were expecting, doesn't mean it's not everything you've been waiting for.
What is your morning routine like? Does this sound familiar?
Time, it's always a topic of conversation. Not enough of it, juggling it, stretching it, trying to create more of it.
Over the last weeks, I've learned the precious gift of Time. How I use to think I had so much of it. How I'd spend it and with whom? I never ever questioned that I wouldn't have enough or it would run out. How do I manage Time? What's important to me or a priority?
Have you ever asked yourself if you respect your Time and the Time of others?
It struck me last week, while I was surrounded by my tribe, I have learned a new language. A language that has changed my attitudes, ideas and emotions. A language that has provided the safety to come out of my hiding place. A language that has given me the strength to face my Giant.
This language is the language of the heart. It speaks of love, gratitude, forgiveness, trust, kindness, acceptance, empathy, compassion and understanding.
A language that has guided me from the beginning and spoken in two different environments.
Practice not perfection in letting go the top 10 …..
It has been my experience once I let go of these top 10, freedom floods in!
Joy, Love, Patience, Kindness, Peace, Gentleness, Goodness, Faithfulness, and Self Control now is my focus.
Since cleaning out this area deep within me, I practice filling up with the positive principles.
Why don't you give it a try, you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. You mightjust find out who you truly are!

A long standing client I have has two beautiful children, a boy and a girl and they are twins. Recently, while sharing a meal the children asked their mother about her coaching. So mom explains what her coaching is all about and specifically shares that she's learned how to identify good things about herself.
The daughter has a puzzled look on her face, mom asks what's on her mind, daughter shares that she can't think of anything good things about herself.

Finally saw the Amy Winehouse movie. I knew her story would stay with me, it stayed with me when I read the biography and now seeing the documentary, I just knew I had to write and share.
As a person in recovery and a Recovery Addictions Life Coach, it was very obvious to me that Amy never had true support. Support that would do and say the hard things for her. Say those things from their heart that would have impacted her life.
Lately I've been procrastinating. While in a session with my coach I shared with her the 'whys' I haven't been following through, completing tasks, and creating a new weekly habit of writing.
So I've decided to be brave, become vulnerable with words and accept that I can't control how people perceive my words and how they feel when reading my words.
With some research and searching my heart I learned new things and I'm so excited to share with you. Here goes…….
