It is not an uncommon scenerio to get ungrounded in the midst of travel or having an experience (or experiences) that interrupt the daily routine.  It can be easy to lose momentum and forgo helpful habits.  When traveling  or getting off a routine it can be easier to go for foods that are not energizing.  It can be easier to put a stop to meditating, exercising, writing, reading uplifting books, etc. etc. etc.  And for those who travel frequently or have created a life through ...

What were your wins, breakthroughs and successes in 2011?  What were your failures, breakdowns and disappointments? Taking time to pause and reflect allows one to digest a very full meal before moving on to the next feast.  Using this meal/food/feast as a metaphor (a tool we often use in coaching)………. Did you try something new last year? Was there too much on your plate or was your meal just right?  What tasted the best?  Was the food bland or did it tantalize your ...

In our household we are spending lots of time reading the Llama Llama series with our two year old.  In every story baby llama has a full blown temper tantrum.  Our daughter loves it and can certainly relate.

Tis the season to be jolly, grateful and spreading peace and joy or……..feeling stressed, fried, ungrounded, overwhelmed, resentful etc. etc..  Who are you embodying at this point in the season? How do you want to be?  If you were your favorite holiday cocktail what would you be and why?  What would it take to shake yourself up, give yourself a nice stir and move  in to that place of  YUM!? ...
