We can’t think our way to happiness we need to feel our way there.  This takes a shift in perception- a change in how we see things.  This new way of  being requires the qualities of acceptance and compassion.

Cultivating compassion crease optimism and optimism opens us up to new opportunities.

No wonder we are left unsatified and endlessly seeking happiness in ways that are not sustainable or healthy. If you want an inspired life then one place to start is with inspired eating.

Check out the brilliancy of the slow and local food movement in your community. Attend a slow down dinner. Visit a local farm or farmers market and take a friend with you. Volunteer at your local food hub. Feast on your life!

My college students are studying for exams. Indeed it can be a stress filled time. Everyones schedule has abruptly changed.

One of my students said her group has gotten to laughing. It has made all the difference in approaching what the mind deems as a daunting task .

Find some humor and let go of the heaviness in the mind. Then happily get to work.

I have a love of art and a passion for beauty in life.  As  coach here are  my five fav ways to begin a new design on your life.

  • Savor your favorite magazines before your lumber off to sleep
  • Wake up and start smiling
  • Keep a journal of possibilities, dreams and ideas
  • Make someones day
  • Choose one goal and focus
