I won’t go into the gory details of my separation and divorce because telling that story only gives energy to thoughts and emotions that no longer serve me. What I will say is that I did, eventually, reunite with my soul-mate and we were together for several years. Only recently have I realized that our relationship, while incredibly satisfying to me in so many ways, was not a committed partnership. …
Drama Detox (or Emotion – Story = Courage)
God, I love writing this blog. I just re-read last week’s post and it makes me happy to know that I can look back and be reminded of where I’ve been. I can really see how things are changing and how giving myself the gift of writing about it has allowed me to move past things that I would otherwise have held on to because they were unexpressed. The fact …
Take a Breath and Fall In
March 22, 2013 Sometime this past summer, when I was faced with a challenging event in my life, I found that my trusted coping mechanisms were gone. When it was necessary for me to pause, take a deep breath and try to bounce back as usual, I realized that, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t. Very suddenly and unexpectedly, I had reached my threshold of what I …
Seven Years Later… Part Four
Well, I’m back, folks and it seems that my cliffhangers have really got everyone eager for the next installment :) Thank you for all your wonderful feedback. You guys inspire me to keep writing, that’s for sure! One of today’s paintings Before I continue the story I’d like to talk a little bit about what a great week I’ve had. The weather has been amazing which means I’ve been outside …
“There Is A Crack In Everything…”
This morning, I had a request from a client to write out “The Tracy Rules of Words to Live By” so she could “print them out and glue them to her wall… or maybe her forehead.” This is the same client who tends to label some of my more profound insights as “Tracy Mind-Bombs”. I won’t lie…I absolutely love it. This kind of feedback is SO, incredibly validating. It was …
Seven Years Later… Part Two
I just re-read last week’s post to remind myself of where I left off and I have to say that it was strange to read about one of the most painful times of my life described so matter-of-factly. It’s surprising to me that the emotion of what I went through then, coupled with what is coming up for me recently, didn’t seem to come through with the intensity of how …
Is This A Bridge I’m Building?
I’m not sure what will come out today. I’m sitting in my beautiful, freshly “staged” family room, in front of the fire, feeling that familiar, heavy ball around my sternum that tells me there are some tears that want to push their way up. I’m not sure what they’re about, exactly. It’s actually very interesting to just sit with feelings for a bit before labeling them as one emotion or …
Self-Love…The Daring Way™
My first “Self-Love…The Daring Way™” 8-week group is scheduled to begin Monday, March 17th from 1:00 – 3:00 pm however, a couple of people have requested that we postpone the start date to the following week. If I have enough participants, I will begin on the 17th, as scheduled, so if you plan on attending I will need to know by Friday March 14th. Otherwise, we will begin on Monday March …
