Awareness Lesson #4: Swinging Intentionally

I deemed 2012 my "year of awareness." Each month, my lead blog is about the topic of awareness and my exploration of it. This is the fourth installation in the series "awareness." I spent my last session with my coach, Nancy, discussing the irony of summer. Summer is a time that's frequently thought of as "lazy, relaxed, slowed-down, and chill." However, what I think is true for most of us is that we spend our summer packing every minute to the fullest, taking on new do-it-yourself projects …

My grandparents, now deceased, raised 5 kids and many cows, pigs, and chickens on this 300+ acre parcel, and I spent many memorable week-ends, holidays, and summertimes there as a kid.

2012 Awareness Lesson #2: Three Ways to Stop Anxiety from Spiraling Out of Control

For the past 30 years, I've been speaking formally and informally to audiences as small as 5 people and as large as 5,000 on a near-weekly basis. As part of my coaching practice, I regularly deliver keynotes, presentations, trainings and workshops.

2012 Awareness Lesson #1: My Body and My Being

No pansy resolutions this new year for me. I deem 2012 my “year of awareness.” In doing so, I resolve to continue the process of awakening to my life, my purpose, and my being in 2012. Becoming aware of myself and my life in newly defined ways and from different angles is what makes me stay LIVELY, VIBRANT, and FEELING GOOD. This article is the first in a series I intend to publish around the notion of “awareness” and how it plays out in various aspects of my life. I hope you find resonance with …
