At the end of May I felt a lot like a slug. It was a familiar feeling, like slowly sinking over the edge into burn-out. Tasks loomed large and no amount of pushing seemed to get them done. I surveyed the situation and one major energy drain stood out. I had been putting time, energy and money [...]
For years I’ve know I had a penchant for drama, but I thought I had reduced the Queen’s role to a bit part. As Memorial Day weekend approached I had a newsletter deadline looming. The topic was burn-out and after two versions, I had no satisfaction. I turned to a trusted advisor and she nailed it, [...]
Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote “How do I love thee, Let me count the ways!” What if, each time we accepted that WE ARE ENOUGH, we are really saying to ourselves “I love you!” Over the last week there has been a ripple of recognition among women 50 and over that I talked with that we all [...]
Over the last couple of years I have had the pleasure of sharing two new passions with my brother, writing and speaking. We both find ourselves transported in connecting with others in a way that uplifts, entertains and supports. Recently he is doing a significant amount of writing on the topic of Love and Chaos. [...]

The times in my life when I thought I [...]
Have you ever noticed that when you ask for something it often shows up, except not in the package you expected?!! Last week my post was about calming, and I provided a basic introduction to breathing for stress reduction (See below). Guess what, the more I focused on my breathing, the more I noticed how [...]
As we discussed holiday traditions and the joy and challenges that can be associated with them in the last Divas Dive In teleclass, I was reminded of the importance of compassion. When things don’t go as planned, when you find yourself out of sorts, when people don’t follow through, try a touch of compassion for [...]
This past weekend I reveled in the brilliant scarlets and the bright yellows of fall as I drove up Snoqualmie Pass for a retreat near North Bend. I experienced total peace. A month before I struggled with the decision, “Was the retreat a worthy expense?!” As women 50 and older we can either get bolder and more [...]
Cheryl Richardson is a sister over fifty who is a successful and well-know life coach, author and public speaker. I heard her in person on Sunday at the “You Can Heal Your Life” Conference. She shared about a time when she moved to a new home. Her expectation was that the experience would be pleasant [...]
