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.

Even before Covid19, it had been a tumultuous time for me. After an intense few months, I lost my mother at the end of January. I’m sure I’ll have lots more to write about Mom. But for now, there’s something quite profound I want to share. Throughout this time, I found my energy waxing and …
