This week I've been thinking a lot about energies and mainframes. Primarily scarcity versus abundance and problem solving versus appreciative inquiry. About how often I think find myself asking the wrong questions and not the right ones.

Joy Tip Wednesday: No Need for Answers
Embracing the Mystery
"God, I'm doing that thing again!" I exclaimed to my coach on a recent call. "Why do I do that thing?! And why can't it just go away? I don't get it. I see it, I know it, but yet, here it is again." We were talking about a pattern that I could see, that I know well, and that I couldn't quite leave. This strangely familiar and annoying pattern of thought and behavior had me wanting to crawl out of my own skin. "Maybe you don't need to know the why," my coach said to me.
Joy Tip Wednesday: The World of Possibilities
I have an interesting relationship with possibilities. For a long time I always focused my attention on problems. I'm trained as a conflict resolution practitioner and even before my training, my mind was a problem solving pro. It's one of my most tried and true skills. And while it can be useful, valuable, and has served me well many times, it also gets me into knots.
Joy Tip Wednesday: Find Your Love
Earlier this week I wrote about my love affair with Joy. How every cell in my body is dedicated to Her. To this North Star of sorts guiding my way back Home when I've lost myself in the thick of life. She guided me when I was young and as an adult I came to loose my connection with her. Recent years have been focused on reconnecting with Joy once again. When I finally reconnected, my life felt alive like never before.
