The Art of Seeing What’s Actually True
Greetings to all my precious people!!
We’ve journeyed through CURIOSITY (the radical act of not knowing) and OPTIMISM (hope as a scientifically-backed practice). Today, we arrive at the heart of The C.O.A.C.H. Method: AWARENESS.
This isn’t the awareness that judges or analyzes. This is the authentic awareness that simply sees what is—without the stories, without the should-be’s, without the need to immediately change or fix anything.
This is the awareness that sets you free. continue reading

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
