Type A?

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I went for an assessment at Myosymmetries. I was hoping that they’d tell me a) Yes, you have Fibromyalgia and b) we can help. Both wishs came true. But, what I didn’t expect to hear was, "You know the trouble with you Type A’s is that you’re Type…

The Power of Three

I read a fascinating newsletter on success that advocates paying attention to 10 aspects of success plus 10 sub aspects of each. That’s 100 things to focus on!! Sheesh! Not me! And, I don’t think I’m alone in finding that we’ve already got a lot on are brains. Yet we do want to succeed and…

Born Highly Sensitive?

Are folks born highly sensitive? Or, does time and circumstance make them that way? Probably, some of both. Elaine Aron, in her book The Highly Sensitive Person, suggests that’s the case. Certainly I’ve seen children who from birth seemed fragile and delicately sensible.  Another book cites research that shows that at birth there are 3…

Pay Attention to Your Muse

Have you ever had this experience? You were about to do something and a wee, tiny, little voice inside suggested something else.  That’s been happening to me all morning.  I’ve have tons of work to do for my ‘real’ job: a contract to do Privacy Impact Assessments.

When The Body Says No

Going In Circles

Have you ever felt like you were going in circles? It seems to happen to me quite often. And, I written about it a lot in my newletter . I call it The Spiral of Life. For me, the goal is to be climbing the Spiral, getting closer to my Vision. Not descending, falling back,…

Whose Problem Is It?

Just got off the phone with a friend/colleague. Like me she has a tendency to be over-responsible. A common trait I’ve observed in Helpers and folks with chronic illnesses. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and her from Migraines. She had called to ask for advice with a ‘problem’ client. As we talked it through it became…

Pay Attention

If you want to feel better. And, be better. You need to learn to pay attention. You need to see what makes your pain get better, get worse, or has no effect at all. Paying attention is not easy for some of us. I’m an Intuitive type and live in my head, dreaming dreams, and…
