A friend shared a great quote with me last week: “In the rush to return to normal, use this time to consider which parts of normal are worth rushing back to.” ~ Dave Hollis Returning to the workplace. Hmmm. Right now, I’m hearing people say that they don’t want to commute anymore and that working …

Last week I was listening to a meditation by Tara Brach (it’s great BTW, details below) and she said that we have “deep habits of judging ourselves” that she calls “the Trance of Unworthiness.” Not to be glum, but it made me think about what I’m hearing from clients during the Covid pause.

I Have A Secret Last week I saw a psychic. It felt great. The last time I did anything like that was 15 years ago. The most delicious part was that I got to luxuriate in daydreaming about the future! No kidding. The future. After six weeks of not thinking beyond a week, it scratched a very deep …
