VISIT THE SANCTUARY

 

Located on my web site is a place to practice self- reflection called The Sanctuary.  Here you will find questions to uncover more meaning in your life.  Right now Fall is the theme - what is it time to let go of?  What nuggets are you gathering from this passing year?

Stop by and take the time to enter a quiet place to be with your True Self and what really matters!  Click here:

STORIES FROM THE SANCTUARY!

 

 

Gratitude .... Written at 2am November 5th after Barak Obama was confirmed as our new President
 
I hate cynicism
It's small and judgmental and lives in a narrow box
On the contrary, I am, tonight,
a first snow night,
inspired.
 
Yesterday was a day of watching the opposite of cynicism
And finding myself expanded and grateful.
 
Spending the day at the polls,
Observing humanity parade by.
Some aware of the privilege they enjoy living in a democracy.
Others not quite sure, treading softly,
Like on new snow, feeling their way.
 
At the end of my polling obligations
I drove a young Native woman home from her journey to cast a vote.
We talked about her diagnosis,
Her adjustments to living with cancer.
And my heart cracked open at her conviction,
In spite of her weariness, to let her voice be heard .

SOVEREIGNTY CIRCLES

Sovereignty Circle logo

A True Life of Your Own

Who determines what your life looks and feels like?
 
A Partner 
A child
A Parent
A Boss
 
While all of these matter,
Nothing matters more than you.
 
You being the leader,
You holding the vision
that authentically represents you.
 
Abdicating your power allows others,
including the world around you,
to dictate how your life will be.
 
Without a foundation
built on conscious awareness of who you are,
it becomes increasingly difficult
to be fully Alive and Aligned with your True Self.
 
If you find yourself short on time
to just BE with your own Beloved Self,
who holds your most precious dreams and vision,
 
Join this sacred circle.
Become a Learner.
Claim the tools.
Share the Journey.

 

WATCH FOR YOUR INVITATION TO THIS NEW GROUP COACHING OFFERING COMING LATER THIS WEEK!

announcement header NOVEMBER'S RESOURCES
My client Barb Horn is starting an intro group to Soul Collage.  I love this process and the cards I've made - they are fabulous windows into who I am at my deepest level.  Here's the info for this great new class:  

 

If you love to collage or are interested in learning about who you are or never thought you were very creative then come and experience SoulCollage!  This intuitive collage process, developed by therapist Seena B. Frost, involves selecting images from magazines and similar sources and recombining these into a 5 x 8 image or SoulCollage card.  Eventually you create a deck of "you" and conduct readings to learn even more about yourself. 

 

Introduction to SoulCollage is being offered December 13th, January 17th, January 31st or Feburary 15th, 9-4pm. You can attend part of all these days just to make cards once you attend a full day session.  All classes at Durango Arts Center, pre-registration and payment required, contact Barb Horn at barbhorn@wildblue.net  or 970.588.3806 for more information.

TLC WOMENS RETREATS...

are over for now

But we're already planning the schedule for next year!

 

Whether it's a day, a weekend or more like a week, I hope those that came this year are harvesting the wisdom they gained by making time for Soulful exploration and expression.

 

I am designing next year's schedule - and I always appreciate input.  So if there's a good time for you and a retreat you've been wanting to join, please let me know.  I'm here to create abundance and ease so you can make 2009 your year to try a retreat with me.

 

And don't forget about Custom Retreats - find 7 friends, sign them up and you get a free retreat for yourself!  I have the topics and the tools - let's collaborate for fun & success!

 

All 2009 retreats will be posted on my web site www.truelifecoach.net

no later than November 30th.  Check often tho - I'm getting more organized by the minute! :)

Wise Women know the value of planning their lives to take Retreats.  Pick your time of year, put down your deposit and know you're creating the Self-Care needed for your personal development!
