You're quick! One conversation and it's tomorrow's post. Love the info you shared. I will have to check out some of these blogs. They sound really interesting. Only problem is finding enough time in the day for all the reading I want to do. Thanks for the shout out to my blog, by the way!

Re: Does It All Happen For A Reason?

lifecoachsandy — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 08:44:01 -0000

Yes, I believe that everything happens for a reason. And that we have freedom of choice. Our choices determine our life maps. So, if I have some crisis, I look for the meaning behind it, how I can learn from it, what I am being called to grow from in this moment. It is my life motto and has helped me to move forward instead of staying stuck when crisis strikes. I am thriving!

Re: Positivity; How Do You Keep It Alive?

lifecoachsandy — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 07:45:07 -0000

I have learned to stay in the moment and feel whatever emotions come up. I then look to the light at the end of the tunnel, envision what could be, and move towards that light. It's in remembering the peaks and valleys of life, and that this too shall pass, that I stay positive. It also helps having a chronically depressed negative cup is half empty father as a constant reminder of who I don't want to become.

And what do you mean by that?

Let me know. I am getting ready to re-enter the dating world after almost 25 years of marriage! Would love to play with the new social networking as a means to find the right one....

Re: How Will You Make Your Weekend Sensual?

I will be slowing down. Eating slowly, having great conversations with my kids, listening better and appreciating more! And of course, ending my days with a delicious bath with spa bath oils. Yum!!

I love this story. I am beginning to see the value of twitter and social networking. I love the idea of a twitter party. It's almost like online dating! You never know....

Re: What Is Your Favorite Meal of the Day, and How Will You Enjoy It Today?

Why are you starving yourself? Eat more food!!

Re: What Is Your Favorite Meal of the Day, and How Will You Enjoy It Today?

lifecoachsandy — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 08:09:58 -0000

I love the many snacks I eat between meals. Chocolate, more chocolate, chumus and veggies, and more chocolate. And I also love dinner, a meal I put a lot of love into and eat with my family.

Re: Taking Risks When It Comes To Love; Is It Always Worth It?

lifecoachsandy — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 16:18:37 -0000

I stayed safe in my choice for a husband and it had been a mistake since the day I said "I do" when I felt "I don't". I finally am free of that safe and not right for me relationship, and I am happy and alive again. I would take huge risks for love, within the bounds of self-respect and self-love.
What held me back in my early relationships was the inability to be an empowered communicator. I am so much better now and can't wait to see what the universe has in store for me the second time around!

Re: Is Your Marriage Inviolable? Time To Fix It!

Hi Pearl,
Loved the humor and lightness in this piece. Very well written and to the point. Short and sweet. And poignant.
You go, girl!

Re: What’s The Secret That Doesn’t Need To Be A Secret Anymore?

lifecoachsandy — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:05:40 -0000

That there is no perfect anything! It's all in your head, and aiming for perfection usually limits us. When I aim for the most resonant, fun, fully expressed place in me, the outcome is far more expansive.

Have a really fabulous birthday! Celebrations don't happen enough, and too many people forget to have fun, so I encourage you to celebrate your freakin' birthday. It's your day!!

Re: Karma Points: How Will You Gain Them Today?

I will be patient and empathic with my father, who suffers from depression and anxiety. I am taking him to the doctor, and I am doing this for him, and I am giving up half of my day and my head space to do it. I will focus on breathing and compassion.

Re: How Will You Love Yourself Today?

lifecoachsandy — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 09:51:31 -0000

Stop focusing on marketing my business as it is taking me away from the heart of who I am as a coach. Focus inward and let my heart give me the answers about my true gifts in this world.
There is so much wisdom and clarity in that heart space!

Re: What Activity Sets You Free?

lifecoachsandy — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 08:30:25 -0000

Not as exhilarating as skydiving or scuba diving, what frees me is something more internal. I am freed and really in the "zone" when I fully connect with women in my coaching practice. Watching the results when women access their gifts, have more fun, and are empowered, leads to a feeling of exhilaration for both me and my clients.

Re: How Would You Like to be Cared For?

lifecoachsandy — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 10:02:03 -0000

I want a sugar daddy to pay all of my bills so I don't have to worry about money ever again!
And someone to give me a great massage and really care about what is going on in my life.

Re: What do you want to leave behind in order to start the New Year afresh?

lifecoachsandy — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 11:04:06 -0000

Playing small will be a thing of my past. Harshness while playing bigger will be toned down and turned into firm but loving kindness. I also plan to let go of being right, and open up more to curiosity.

Re: What were the highlights of 2008 for you?

lifecoachsandy — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 12:46:49 -0000

Buying a home, becoming certified as a coach, increasing my coaching practice monthly in spite of the recession, raising happy and mindful children in spite of divorce (and everything else children have to deal with on a day to day basis), giving back to my community, publishing my website myself, becoming empowered to run a home, business, and family by myself!

Re: What advice would you give to yourself 10 years ago?

lifecoachsandy — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 10:56:52 -0000

As I read through all of the entries, I see a common thread, trust your intuition and have more fun. As a life coach, I help women turn up the volume on their own inner wisdom, and a good access point is fun and play. Ten years ago, I was not having much fun, and my life was lived mainly to please others. Today, I am listening to that loud voice inside and nothing thrills me more than seeing the results of the coaching I am doing. My clients are living truer lives that thrill them. Everything else falls into place when you are living from that perspective.

Re: What gives you hope in the world?

lifecoachsandy — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 08:27:50 -0000

I am an optimist who is almost always hopeful. I believe it is our thoughts that help us see things as possible or impossible. Growing up with a chronically depressed father helped me to make a firm commitment towards hope and joy and possibility. I knew what I didn't want to be, and that was stuck in blame. Believing that I am always at choice gives me hope. Seeing how quickly things change gives me hope. Watching my children grow into responsible human beings who make good choices and are kind gives me hope. The list is actually endless, but I will end here!

Re: How do you want your neighborhood to feel?

lifecoachsandy — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 08:33:25 -0000

As an adult who grew up as an orthodox Jew, community has always been paramount in my life. When my first two kids were 21 months and 6 weeks old, we moved to a community without a synagogue. I realized that before then, I had depended on the synagogue as a way meet my friends and form my community. My kids were too young for school, so I had no central place to find friends. I had a handicapped child and a screaming infant and I felt so alone. I'm a little embarrassed to say that the most desperate thing I did was to check in people's shopping carts at the supermarket for kosher foods. That was my connection to other Jewish people. I actually made one good friend that way. I soon discovered other young moms and their kids (of all religions and backgrounds) who lived in my neighborhood and we formed a weekly get together. I expanded my ways for connecting and forming community and it was a treasured experience that I can always take with me.

Re: What is the quirkiest thing in your home that you will never give away?

lifecoachsandy — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 08:45:06 -0000

He is really cute. I wasn't expecting such a sweet face! I would have collected him, too.

Re: What is the quirkiest thing in your home that you will never give away?

lifecoachsandy — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 08:43:38 -0000

Most of the things in house are quirky, as I am crazy quirky. But I would say one of the most quirky is my kids' teeth and hair. Not an entire set, but deep in the recesses of my jewelry box are several baby teeth from my four kids and the first haircut clippings from a few of them. My kids find them every so often and think they are gross. I guess the value for me is sentimentality and time gone by. I like to remember that they once didn't talk back and were as sweet and innocent as their baby hair and teeth.

Re: What do you love about being a woman (or what do you love about women)?

lifecoachsandy — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 07:41:06 -0000

I agree with Carrie about the duality of women, and the appeal of that for me is that we can be so whole. I refuse to be a Stepford wife, and take pride in choosing to be financially savvy, an independent entrepreneur, a loving and responsibility-generating mom, and an artist. People expect artists, and especially female artists, to be air heads and irresponsible. I love proving them wrong!
