Feedback I’ve received recently about people’s lives being transformed has made my heart sing. I am so excited to hear how the Heal Your Life and mind-body skills work, which I have been so inspired by, is making such huge differences in people’s lives. When I hear stories of people feeling like they have a new life from implementing the relatively easy tools I share in my workshops and coaching, I am inspired to keep following my heart and doing the work I love, which doesn’t even feel like work.

Your Heart Knows Your Best Path
March 25, 2012Access Your Intuition with Drawings
February 18, 2012
One of my favorite mind-body skills is drawings. I have had so much fun learning and practicing this skill. I wrote about my first experience with drawings last summer when I attended The Gulf Coast Community Day sponsored by the Mind-Center of Louisiana. I have treasured the drawing I did that day and keep it in the plastic cover of my binder from the first training I attended in October. The drawing (shown in the photo) inspires me every time I look at it. Read the rest of this entry ?

Practicing Mindful Eating
January 28, 2012
I am in Washington DC attending the Center for Mind Body Medicine’s Advanced Training. I realized yesterday at lunch that I desire to practice mindful eating more often. The realization came to me as we were beginning lunch when the facilitator invited us to offer gratitude for the meal we were about to eat, and I had already gobbled down half my plate. I wondered in that moment why in the world I eat so fast. It has been a way of life for me as long as I remember, and I don’t enjoy almost always being the first one finished with a meal.

Pay Attention to Your Words
January 21, 2012
I attended an interesting workshop at the Baton Rouge Unity Church a few weeks ago about Effective Communication facilitated by Charles Frost. I was surprised to learn about his belief that “Why” may be the most damaging word in the English language. Charles explained that the word “Why” often puts people on the defensive because of negative experiences they had as children. For example, they may have been asked “why did you do that?” Or they may have received responses to “why” questions like “because I said so.” He suggested replacing “Why” with “How is it possible”.

Celebrate Life Every Day
January 17, 2012
I was reminded last week how critical it is to celebrate life every day and to show appreciation for all the wonderful people, places, and things we are blessed to experience in our lives. The reminder came when I attended the funeral of my cousin, Amy, who died of unknown causes suddenly last week. Amy was 39 years old, 7 years younger than me and way too young to die. I wasn’t close to Amy as an adult; however, we spent many holidays together at our grandparents’ house while we were growing up. Read the rest of this entry ?

Enjoying Holiday Downtime
November 26, 2011
This holiday weekend I am thoroughly enjoying some downtime with lots of rest and relaxation. I have savored each morning that I haven’t had to wake up to an alarm, and I really appreciate the slower pace. I’ve taken care of a few tasks that needed to be done, but at my leisure. I visited with friends and family and shared wonderful meals with them. I enjoyed writing in my journal every day, watching the LSU football game, going to see a movie, doing some shopping, and planning for my upcoming Disney trip.
Even though part of me feels like I have a million things to do, I know deep down that I really need to take it easy and relax. There are no expectations by others that I accomplish anything on this holiday weekend, so I am taking advantage of the circumstance. The rain today has made me feel like the Universe supports my desire to slow down.
The break is refreshing. I know my normal pace will get back in swing on Monday, so I am appreciating every moment of holiday time and looking forward to feeling renewed and refreshed next week.

Exploring with My Journal
October 8, 2011
One of my favorite things to do when I travel is to set out on an exploration with my journal. I have many fond memories of writing outside at various hotels, or in the woods, or at a sidewalk café, or in a park. I love to write outside and I’m always curious what inspirations will come to me when I write in a new place. I love being adventurous and just seeing what’s ahead, around the bend, or over the hill.

I am celebrating my birthday tomorrow at the Center for Mind-Body Medicine Professional Training Program in Washington DC. The program started today and lasts through Wednesday. Approximately 200 attendees are learning how they can more fully integrate mind-body medicine into their practices. I am incredibly grateful to be giving myself the gift of being here to learn and grow and make new connections. Read the rest of this entry ?
Enjoying Connecting with Fabulous Women
September 17, 2011
Women’s Week, which is organized by the Women’s Council of Greater Baton Rouge, kicked off Friday with a 10 year anniversary celebration luncheon. I participated in the Activity Fair at the luncheon and was excited to connect with many wonderful women. My first coach, Cookie Tuminello, was the featured speaker at the luncheon. She shared her perspective on a new leadership paradigm where relationship skills are more important than ever before and announced the upcoming launch of her first book: Climbing the Ladder of Success in Your High Heels – Without Stepping on Your Values.

The Park Supports My Well-being
September 10, 2011
As I sit eating lunch in the park near my office, I am grateful for all the experiences I’ve had here and that this place holds so many memories. I used to live near here and take walks through the neighborhood, which is how I first learned about the park. Once I discovered it, I started coming here for calls with my first coach Cookie because it was a close place to escape from my office.
