Self-Care

Kindness is Good Medicine

 

“Constant kindness can accomplish much.

As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding,

mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.”

~~ Albert Schweitzer

KINDNESS: The Science of Living Your Healing Out Loud

Greetings to all my precious people!!

As we complete our journey through the C.O.A.C.H. Method—from Curiosity through Hope & Healing—many of you have asked: “What’s next? How do I live this transformation in the world?”

The answer has been whispering itself to me for weeks, and this morning it became clear: KINDNESS. 

Not the passive, people-pleasing version we’ve been taught. Not the “be nice” conditioning that asks us to diminish ourselves. But kindness as a radical act of embodied healing—the living expression of everything you’ve discovered about yourself through curiosity, optimism, awareness, courage, hope, and healing.

This is kindness as medicine. Kindness as revolution. Kindness as the bridge between your inner transformation and the healing our world desperately needs.  continue reading »

How to Cultivate Optimism

“The only journey is the one within.” 

— Rainer Maria Rilke

Greetings to all my precious people!!

In 1997, fresh from a Stephen Covey workshop on personal mission statements, I created an acronym to guide how I wanted to show up in the world: C.O.A.C.H. Back then, it stood for Cultivating Optimism, Awareness, Creativity, and Hope—a personal compass for living with intention.

I had no idea that a simple acronym would evolve into something far more profound.  continue reading »

Curiosity: The Art of Sacred Wonder

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart 

and try to love the questions themselves…
~~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Greetings to all my precious people!!

Jupiter, the planet known as the “Great Benefic,” is widely regarded as a planet of expansion, abundance, and wisdom. When it returns to Cancer, the Water Sign, on June 9, and stays until June 2026, it reminds us of its “benefic” offerings: a path toward spiritual growth, enlightenment, and a supported quest for knowledge. The last time Jupiter graced Cancer was between June 2013—July 2014, so let us take a moment to reflect upon what happened during that time in our lives. There will be a nugget of inspiration, insight, and possibility waiting to be acknowledged.  continue reading »

Igniting Fierce Self-Compassion

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, 

deserve your love and affection.  

~~ Buddha

Greetings to all my precious people!!

Major transition and recalibration is the highlight of this week and beyond, as Saturn enters the fire sign Aries on May 24, for the first time in nearly three decades. Saturn represents the archetype of The Wise Old One in Jungian psychology, embodying the aspects of maturity, stability and grounded realism, and it reminds us that time stands still for no one. Between now and 2028, be on the lookout for the reality checks we didn’t choose but surely need. The resistance we manifest, the magical thinking we utilize, the beliefs we were handed down and cling to without question. Saturn is responsible for throwing up obstacles so that we might face them, gain resilience and continue to grow and evolve into a new life stage.  continue reading »

Your Symptoms are Sacred

To enable us to learn how to know ourselves, we need history, 

for the past continues to flow through us in a hundred channels.

~~ James Hillman

Greetings to all my precious people!!

The most intense Full Moon of the year occurred on Monday May 12. The Flower Full Moon coincided with the Theraveda Buddhist observation of Vesak, marking the day the Buddha was born, became enlightened and died. This celebration is always a time of joy, reflection, and intentionally practicing the Buddhist principles of compassion, tolerance, and service. Mark a reminder on your calendar, or in your journal, and return to that Flower Full Moon date in the future—taking note of the changes unfolding over the course of weeks and months. Remain curious about the shifts—and begin to search for a pattern in the events, thoughts, and choices that offers wisdom—a truth that will resonate with you.  continue reading »
