So you want to write a book? Whether you have been thinking about it for days, months or years, or have even had a few attempts at it…you CAN write that book! You just need a new perspective on how to get to the finish line.

Even when life offers us continuous gray skies…we can be okay. We just need a few tools and then remember to use them.

Sometimes, the place you are used to, is not the place where you belong. It’s not that you are lost, you just have the sense that post-pandemic has left you feeling a bit misplaced. You are not alone.

I’ve been thinking about the senses that we choose to trust, while being skeptical of others. And also wonder how we are letting these stories get in our way. I mean, there are definitely things we just need to believe, in order to carry on, so what is it that keeps our feet moving in complete darkness as long as our arms are extended?

If you keep living your life the same way you’re living it now, will you get closer of further from your life vision and dreams? Let’s refocus balance and look deeply into Life-Work Balance. Making your Life, the most important part.

It’s a dangerous game of guilt we play when it comes to others. Pretending that it would be best if we took care of everything that makes us feel uncomfortable.

Here is the thing about being happy. We are pretty sure that being happy is dependent upon what is going on around us. The people, the things, the chaos, blended in with the celebrations that life offers. But actually, there is a way to access happiness, no matter what is going on around you!

I hear you and I understand. But even if that is true…a simple perspective shift has the potential to change it all.

Have you ever, and I mean, ever, said ‘no, I definitely can’t do that’ and then unbeknownst to yourself, actually did that thing?! Swim across the lake. Write that book. Get your first client. Get your 100th client. Complete that research project. Fix that thing that has been broken for-ever!?

Yes?! Then you know it’s possible. The question is how do we repeat it? How do we get past the point of saying, no, I can’t, to maybe I can, to I did it!

Now, at the corner of midlife, I see how important it is to care for ourselves, while keeping perspective on how others feel. That is a tough one for most of us! The intention is to understand and empathize with others, without having it change the way we feel. You know, so that you can take care of yourself, because that is the end game that leads to an authentically happy life.

Saying yes to life is about having an excitement down deep that is constantly stirring...not because you know something great IS going to happen, but because you are open to the possibility of what will happen next, and are hopeful about it being great.
