Being With Grief
Sunday, July 25th, 2010When I was in my twenties, I used to panic anytime someone was grieving. I didn’t know what to do to make it better. I knew that there had to be something I could do – if only I could figure out what it was. But I didn’t know, and this made [...]
Walking the Warrior Path
Thursday, June 17th, 2010Many people know that Sparta was the Greek City-State where the men and women were a warrior caste. What you may not know is that Kelle also means “Warrior” in Norse. My middle name, Lynn means “of the waterfall” and this seems most appropriate in my life.
I spent much of my early life being the [...]
I’m Old Damn It! Deal With It!
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010My boyfriend’s birthday is today and last night we went out to see The Donkey Show at the Oberon Theater in Harvard Square. We had a great time. But then, it happened. The same thing I’ve been watching happen as person after person I know have been having birthdays recently. There is always someone in [...]
What Is Passion?
Sunday, May 9th, 2010I was reading a blog post by Steven Cardinale today on the subject of passion today and I started writing a comment that just got too long to be a comment anymore, so I decided to post it here instead. In his blog post, he posits that Passion is anger and love combined. I disagree. I’m an incredibly passionate person and it doesn’t feel angry to me.
How To Deal With Massive Change
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010How do you deal with massive change? Here’s how to cope with the overwhelm that happens, let go of what is in the way and take care of yourself throughout the process.
Clothe Yourself in Your Intentions
Friday, April 30th, 2010What if your clothes held a certain type of energy? What if you got to put that energy on in the morning and wear it all day? What if your clothes could support your intentions for the day, the week, or even your life in general? It would be like putting on a layer of support that would go with you all day.
Getting Out of Victim
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010Getting out of the victim mindset is a complex and complicated process. It requires looking at the issues from multiple angles to see the reality of the situation.
Turning Up The Heat
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010When stressful things happen, when breakdown occurs, and things go wrong we can find ourselves in a space where we feel like we just can’t take anymore. The overwhelm can be extreme and it can be hard to find a way to keep moving forward. But this is what we must do. Because you don’t want to stop in the places where things aren’t happy. You need to keep moving so that you can move out of those places and into new places where things are better.
Why We’re Here – Philosophy for a Tuesday Morning
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010I have spent 30 years studying personal growth and development and I have heard one guru after another tell me that we are on earth to learn. But it has never made sense to me. I mean, after all, these same gurus say that we are small pieces of the “all that is” or “God” or however that particular person chooses to language it. If that is true, then what could we possibly be here to learn? Doesn’t God know everything? And then, yesterday, as I was watching myself go through the process of making coffee – putting in the filter, then the coffee, then adding the water, I had a thought.
You Do Enough, You Have Enough, You Are Enough
Sunday, December 6th, 2009I’ve been working on the launch of my new business. It’s a event company that does retreats for women who run workshops and retreats for others. Kind of the leader’s retreat space. The way it’s designed, I’ll be working long hours during the retreats and having lots of time off when the retreats aren’t happening. Since the events are designed to be small, I don’t have to worry about spending a lot of time in the scheduling department either (plus I have it in the plan that I’ll be hiring an event planner for this task, so it’s not my job anyway).
