STORIES FROM THE SANCTUARY!

Are you longing for spring?  About this time of year I notice I want to come out from under all these winter clothes - I want to feel the warmth of the sun again and the touch of a gentle wind caressing my skin.  It feels part of a natural cycle to emerge from time going inward to expansion and new creativity - I have some travel coming up and that is always full of gifts that nurture my values --- discovery, learning and adventure!
 
Part of my inward discoveries this past month has been sharing tools around Gremlins.  You know, those pesky, insistent monsters that live in our heads and constantly are reminding us how we're not enough, not doing enough, not measuring up in a variety of ways.  It's great for me to work with my clients on this - it supports my own growth too.  I figure you could benefit from some resources too - so let's talk about an empowering model that you can use to stay in charge of who's running your show.  Click here for ways to transform your Gremlin chatter.

 MARCH MUSINGS 

Can you believe 1/6th of 2009 is gone! Over! Never to return!  What are you working on that inspires and excites you?  As I write this I'm noticing that the spring winds are beginning to show up here in Durango.  The temps this week are nearly 60 degrees and I can feel spring starting to call me.

One thing that's inspiring me is Byron Katie - Have you heard of her?  She's the inventor of The Work, an exciting methodology for shifting your limiting thoughts and beliefs.  Ever notice how the most powerful insights are, well.... simple?  Her exercises are comprised of 4 questions posed about a powerful thought that can open a whole new realm of possibility for seeing and interpreting your life.  They can be used about your self-esteem, looks, relationships, job, money - anything that you are not finding fulfilling.  To find out more, go to www.thework.com.  When you've checked it out, write me and tell me what you think of it. I want to hear from you.....

 Fascinating Resources and Interesting Links

I just discovered www.sparkpeople.com - it's a web site for getting healthy and losing weight that is truly supportive, positive and FREE!

Heard of TED TALKS?  Lot of interesting people with interesting things to say.  Check out Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love. Click Elizabeth Gilbert to hear her take on the difference between 'being a genius' and 'receiving the source of genius' when discussing the creative process.

As I am learning to navigate the social networking sites, I find my circle grow exponentially.  In March I have an article at the Baby Boomer Knowledge Center on Retreats - to read it, click here.

I've also started Twittering (can you believe it!??) This is really a challenge as posts are limited to 140 characters!  Visit me here
