How awesome! Featured coach on Women’s media
Posted by: | CommentsI just found out that I am the featured coach on Womens Media.com this week!
How awesome is that?!?
Nancy at Womens Media and I had discussed these mini coaching lessons late last year, when they were planning to launch the mini-coaching lessons feature, and they have had some great mini coaching lessons so far! It’s an incredible opportunity, and I was happy to offer a mini-coaching lesson to all the great women who visit Womens Media! I’m honored to be selected as this week’s featured coach.
You can find the mini coaching lesson here. Or, this week (while it’s featured), you can also find it from the Womens Media home page.
To add a little personal perspective, I found Nancy to be a wonderful & quite savvy woman, and Womens Media is a fabulous site with TONS of great information and resources for today’s working women…it was truly and honor and privilege to work with her and write this mini coaching lesson. I have to admit I was thrilled when I received the email from her letting me know that I was the featured coach this week, and am looking forward to possibly having the opportunity to write another mini coaching lesson for Womens Media again in the future.
On another somewhat-related note, we’ve also finished the redesign and launched the gorgeous new design at My Holistic Health Coach – if you haven’t been there for a few weeks, you may want to pop by and take a look.
The art of health – using essential oils for natural healing
Posted by: | CommentsJust like the art of journaling, the art of health is another art that plays an important role in my life and the life of my company.
Recently, I happened upon a conversation regarding the worth of using essential oils to achieve holistic healing, rather than relying on pharmokopeia (mind you, we are talking therapeutic grade, properly distilled from organic sources, properly processed, and properly packaged – these comments do *not* apply to essential oils of lesser quality – to that end, I suggest that you know about the essential oils you use or plan to use and make sure you are getting the best available!). The comment was made that this person hadn’t experienced any “miraculous healings” from the use of particular essential oils. While I have seen many incredible results from using essential oils, I replied with the following:

Now, what I’m about to say may anger some people, but, I think it’s important for this to be said. The oils, while truly amazing, may not heal everything.
The art of journaling
Posted by: | CommentsOne major aspect of my life and my companies is the importance we place on journaling. I find it deeply important to journal reguarly – whether you are a writer or not! I’ve had people ask me why I find journaling to be so important, and I thought it was worth writing about.
Now, I will admit that I have a bias about journalling. I’ve journalled as long as I can remember with only very short periods of hiatus. However, I know, without a doubt, that it has made my life richer and helped me see the meaning and path of my life.
There are many reasons that journalling should play an important role in your life. And, yes, it is an “art” – the art of journalling, however, requires no special tools or prior experience. The art of journaling can be “picked up” with a pencil and a scrap of paper (although I don’t recommend writing on scraps of paper – for good reason – more on that in a moment!)
The art of journalling – simplified:
Here are just a few examples of why the art of journalling is a good practice in your daily life:
