by Cora Poage For many years I was caught in a steamy, intimate and tumultuous relationship. I would call it codependent, maybe slightly abusive. I placed my “Ex” on a pedestal and truly saw him as an idol of sorts. If my Ex was kind to me, I had a fabulous day. If he was moody or “off,” my day was ruined. I was yearning for freedom from my partner, but I was too scared… Read More >
Self-Love vs. Self-Improvement
February 14, 2011
By Kate Northrup
I have a tremendous need to get results out of anything I do. I started a pranayama practice in October as part of my yoga teacher training. I couldn’t seem to stick with it on a daily basis (which was a course requirement) because I didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere. Where exactly would I like to be getting? Self-improvement can become an addiction I think. It’s hard for me to justify doing something… Read More >

My newest book, “Glad No Matter What: Transforming Loss and Change into Gift and Opportunity” was just released from New World Library (I love them!) in November. While on the book tour in Arizona, I appeared on a morning TV show. Soon after, my inner critics all showed up to tell me how I wasn’t “good enough” and other mean things. After the show, I stopped at a grocery store and noticed a police officer… Read More >

“Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself. I am large. I contain multitudes.” – Walt Whitman Soon after we met, my man and I were getting ready for a party. “I’m not good at parties,” I warned him. “What?! You’re like the public-speaking power chicklet.” “Noooo. I’m the girl in the kitchen who talks to one person all night and leaves without saying goodbye.” Give me a stage and I will rock… Read More >

By Guest Blogger
“Self-care is never a selfish act. Any time we can listen to our true self and give it the care it requires, we do so not only for ourselves but for the many others whose lives we touch.” – Parker Palmer We all “know” how important “ME time” is. And we recall the wonderful feelings that having some ME time creates – peacefulness, gratefulness, calmness, etc. We all know that flight crews going through the… Read More >

Wassup Wildflower, If my inner kiddo met your inner kiddo on the playground, I bet we’d be friends.

By Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy
My inner perfectionist flipped out when I first heard this recommendation from one of my mentors, Rebecca Latimer, who wrote a book called You’re Not Old Until You’re Ninety: Best To Be Prepared, However. Rebecca said to me: “Oh SARK, when you speak to groups of people, would you please let them know that if they meditate and do it badly, it still works? And that goes for everything else, too. My best recommendation is… Read More >
