Sometimes I think I think too much
The Coach’s Corner Newsletter #42 What do you mean when you say ‘I think too much?’ If you’re like me, it’s most common when you’re ruminating or worrying about something you’re afraid might happen.

Here’s what happens when you’re kind
The Coach’s Corner Newsletter #41 When I shared with my oldest granddaughter, here for the end of spring break, that I would be taking some time to write this newsletter she asked me what I was going to write about. As I threw out a few topics from my notes, she nodded her head without […]
Note to self: breathe
The Coach’s Corner Newsletter #40 What is it about the month of March? Stress is showing up everywhere I go.

Being thankful is a state of mind
The Coach’s Corner Newsletter #39 Living in a household where we give thanks before every meal, I sometimes wonder if I’ve become immune to the power of saying thank you.

The Coach’s Corner Newsletter #36 As I logged into a peer coaching session this week, our grandson rushed into my office. The only thing he wanted was a hug. He would not be denied.

What’s that thing you don’t want to do?
The Coach’s Corner Newsletter #35 Before the sun comes up, you can hear me in the backyard jumping rope. And every (single) morning I remind myself of the benefits: a full-body workout in 10 minutes, better balance, increased bone density and better heart health. That’s because when it’s cold or wet or hot or whatever, […]
What drives you crazy?
The Coach’s Corner Newsletter #34 Maybe it’s the end of the first month of 2024. Last week’s full moon? World events? I’ve been feeling on edge. This week someone decided to speed through a very clearly marked stop sign in my neighborhood as I was walking to the park. I raised my hands, yelled something […]
Don’t run from disorder, go through it
The Coach’s Corner Newsletter #33 Sometimes it takes a sense of disorder to bring me back to my senses. Growing up the oldest of six kids, our home had its share of chaos. My sister and I, along with four brothers, competed for bathroom space, best seats in the station wagon and who could hide […]
