  • Our Mask

    Our Mask

    I bought my first piece of artwork when I was 26. I was living in Tokyo at the time, fulfilling a 10-month contract working at Tokyo Disneyland, performing in 2 of the theatrical shows that ran daily. It was an extraordinary opportunity for me to have the time to deepen into Japanese culture which I…

  • Feed your Brain with Good stuff

    Feed your Brain with Good stuff

    Last week we talked about our Habits of Mind – and how they can work for us or against us. You know those negative pesky voices of self-doubt that can become debilitating if we’re not careful. This week, let’s take that one step further and start to notice… What are you feeding your brain? There are two…

  • Grieving Well is a Skill We Can Grow

    Grieving Well is a Skill We Can Grow

    I’ve been thinking a lot about broken hearts recently. Whether it’s death by a thousand cuts over a long period of time or a dramatic, instantaneous loss, heart ache is pulsating in my awareness. Grieving is not a skill that society teaches or supports, particularly here in the Western world. In fact, we have a…

  • Rediscovering the Power of Gratitude

    Rediscovering the Power of Gratitude

    The power of gratitude goes far beyond a simple “thank you”—it’s a shift in how we see our lives, an invitation to embrace even the smallest blessings. When we begin to look through the lens of gratitude, we’re opening the door to a freer, more fulfilled life—a cageless life—where joy and purpose are woven into…

  • Is Happiness Really a Choice?

    Is Happiness Really a Choice?

    “Happiness is a choice.” Many years ago, that was the quote I had as part of my email signature. I was not the first person to say it, certainly, nor would I be the last. I do believe happiness IS a choice. But I’m not talking about the Hallmark or new-age bypassing version of happiness.…

  • The “Not Enough” myth

    The “Not Enough” myth

    Many of us carry a silent burden, an insidious whisper that we’re ‘not enough’. This Not Enough myth, this story we tell ourselves, can creep into our consciousness, impacting our professional performance, personal relationships, and how we view ourselves in the mirror each morning. But where does this feeling stem from, and more importantly, how…

  • Working out AT Work

    Working out AT Work

    I came across some interesting research the other day about exercise and work.  Now that the weather is getting nicer (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), you might be thinking about taking a quick walk on your lunch break to get the most enjoyment from your day.  (If you’re not thinking about that, see if you can!)  As…

  • The Power of Connections

    The Power of Connections

    The Art of Connection: Building Bridges to Ourselves and Others In a world that is hyper connected these days, it’s an ironic twist that many of us feel disconnected – from ourselves, our peers, and our communities. Humans by nature are social creatures and yet we are victims of our own making. Our collective genius…

  • How to Cultivate Joy

    How to Cultivate Joy

    What brings you joy? In the busyness of daily life, joy can sometimes feel like something that is out of reach or perhaps an afterthought. Something that is only reserved for special occasions or fleeting moments. But joy doesn’t need to wait. It’s always within reach, a state we can nurture and invite into our…

  • New Year! New You!

    New Year! New You!

    2025 Is Here! It sounds so Sci-Fi doesn’t it? LOL When I was a kid, I LOVED the Jetsons… (yes, I’m dating myself) It seems like we’ve arrived there, with talking robots and artificial intelligence. We’re just short of the flying cars but those will probably be on the market next year! With another new…
