Some Days, We Need to Restart

Some days, we are running so hard and so fast that it gets hard to connect to the source.  Things start to feel glitchy and slow.  Disconnected.  Disorienting, even.  Perhaps we’re so in it.  Or carrying so much we don’t know how to unload.  Holding things tightly (again!).  Too much happening.  Pulled in multiple directions. ...

Some Days, We Hold Both

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on duality.  Yin and yang.  Happy and sad.  Brave and afraid.  Right brain and left brain.  Today and Some Day.  The question I keep coming back to – How do we hold both? Some Day & Today Life comes with tradeoffs.  My today is both limiting and enabling.  Empowering.  Inspiring.  So,... Continue Reading →

Some Days, We Are In Transition

I love this time of year.  For many reasons.  One big part of this is that it is a time of transition.  Transition into the holiday season (my favorite).  The winter solstice taking us from darker and darker days to increasing light.  Transition into the new year.  New beginnings.  Possibility.  My career transitions have always...

Some Days, I Live to Work

I’ve often heard the refrain “Work to live.  Don’t live to work.”  While there is a lot in it that I can agree with, I’ve often heard it in response to me voicing my dreams of my Some Days and coupled with the message that, to aspire to find inspiration, joy and fulfillment in your...

Some Days, We Get Real

Let’s be real for a moment.  This sh!t is hard.  Which sh!t?  All the sh!t.  Be honest.  Am I right? Some days, the world tells us that we should have it all together.  But the reality is, we usually don’t.  I’m not being hard on myself (or yourself).  It’s just the truth.  I fail at...

Some Days, We Have Great Expectations

Being a grown up.  That big move.  Marriage.  Having kids.  The promotion you’ve been working towards.  The career you thought you wanted.  We have great expectations.  About all sorts of things.  And it’s wonderful and exciting.  Developing a vision for what is possible is powerful and motivating.  It’s that fire that keeps you engaged and...

Some Days, It’s All Integrated

We often speak of our different lives. Our work life. Our personal life. Our family life. Isn’t it true, though, that we have only, as Mary Oliver says, “one wild and precious life”? Worthy of pondering is what you will do with it in this lease of unknown duration.  Also worth considering, I believe, is... Continue Reading →

Some Days, You Need to Retreat

For a long time in my career, I struggled to take vacation and to truly unplug if I did.  I thrive on productivity and it always felt impossible to really step away.  I remember the first time I read about unplugging being pro-productivity.  And, pro lots of other things, including well-being.  It was such a...
