STuFfeD.
When I used to catch myself wildly spinning on the inside, I would act as if I was my own defibrillator to disrupt the crazy. I’d get my attention by stating my name loudly and firmly: Sally. And then, when I’d get myself to stop for a second, I’d say assertively: slowthefuckdown. A visual would […]

focus.
I recently read a quote about the difference between talent and genius: a talented person aims at a target that anyone can see and hits it, a genius aims at a target that no one can see and hits it.

create.
creativity is intelligence having fun. Albert Einstein If you read the post I shared on 12/31/19, you may have resonated with the idea of how growing the innate skill of self-awareness can help you recognize the story you are telling. If the storyline or theme is one of lack or limitation, you have an opportunity […]

state.
If you have read a previous blog post of mine, or if you pay attention to any sort of life-coachey, personal growth content, you may be somewhat familiar with the concept of one’s ‘state’ – state of mind, state of being, mood or attitude. Being curious about developing the skill of self-awareness can support a […]

My slides showed up on the smartboard by using the split screen. The teacher held down my laptop ‘mouse’ and literally slid (with a finger on the screen) the slide […]

sensual.
This is not the first post titled ‘sensual’ that I have written. I don’t think I’ve posted any…yet. The journey of my last 7 or 8 years toward (what I now call) well-being has three main elements that I would consider to be the biggest game changers – both personally and professionally. Self-awareness. Sensations. Storytelling. […]

more.
It’s interesting to wonder about the idea of what it means to be satisfied and the desire for more. The newsflash here is that ‘we’ would not have life if we did not desire for more. At Orange Theory Fitness (which just happens to be across the street from me AND has 5am classes…win…win) – […]

synonym.
Synonym. Two words that mean the same thing. Smoosh is a metronome. Smoosh is my neighborhood bestie. My neighbor’s dog. Smoosh is my reference point for equilibrium…balance…not too much, not too little…enough. My tagline for my project is ordinary day….extraordinary way. What this means to me is that our pleasure and satisfaction exists and is […]

against.
Pushing against. Whenever we push against something the thing we push against has to exist – otherwise there would be nothing to push against. Pushing and pulling go together…one can’t exist without the other. Just as the laws of the universe work to sustain life as we conceptualize it (balance of the atmosphere, cellular structures, […]
