I learned something interesting last weekend about my spider plants. You see, I have two of them. One was at my home in a nice cozy spot on its own pedestal (like literally, I’m not treating it like some sort of plant god or anything!) The other was usually outside of my home and was often (and I mean OFTEN) moved around, bumped, placed in a bag for transport…it traveled! Guess which one was growing like crazy pants? You might…
Benjamin Franklin once said that “energy and persistence conquer all things.” That guy knew a very big secret to success and happiness. It isn’t just about talent or skill set, it more often is about persistence. This is true in every aspect of life. Have you ever heard something like ‘his overnight success took 10 years?’ It’s really bang on. There are so many examples of people who are successful who were not especially talented, educated or extra smart. They…
2018 is a Year 11 in numerology (2+0+1+8 = 11). It brings with it some interesting energy and connections. In the video below, bring to you some through provoking insights that you can journal/reflect on that might help you step into your brilliance and your truth for this brand spanking New Year. Actually, this decision-making reflection that is being inspired by the master number 11, the tarot card justice and the energy of the cycle we are in is one…
Ooohh..Someone done you wrong? Vengeance is MINE! I seek revenge for.. I will make them pay. You will rue the day! (okay that one was more for fun) Any of those catch your fancy? You know..crap happens. People who choose crappy actions happen. The question is are you going to spend your one, precious life being angry and victimized? Your choice. First, before you jump all over me, yes I know it is perfectly natural and sometimes quite healthy to…
Have you ever lied about being ‘busy’? The vague ‘oh I have an appointment then” when you really don’t? That sort of thing? I most certainly have. In the past I think I lied about this quite often. Or worse didn’t and struggled through situations that were far too much for my physical well-being, not to mention emotional or mental well-being. I don’t know about you, but I use to lie about being busy to avoid the looks, the feelings…
One of the things I often have to explain to people is that coaching is not therapy, mentoring or being your bestie who will love you, listen and tell you you’re wonderful, no matter what. (I will tell you the truth lovely, even if you don’t like it) I have referred people to a therapist when I realized they are looking for help healing past trauma. While coaching can provide inner healing, it’s not a replacement for the type of…
Some people have asked me ‘what’ I am. Have you ever had that question? It can be asked around religion, spirituality, job title, culture…so much can land under that question. I find that amusing because there was a time when finding my label, my ‘thing’ was super important to me. I thought that knowing the correct answer would not only bring me clarity but would support me in creating Step Into Brilliance and even my own personal best life. I…
We all have our stories don’t we? The ones that begin with “I am…” These are powerful stories. Some of which we were given and bought into. Some of which we created based on meaning and context that was quite often limited at the time. And yet, we carry these stories with us. They influence how we see ourselves, others and the life that we are leading. These stories help us create our beliefs which in turn influence our choices…
Sometimes the problem is not the problem, only our interpretation of the problem is the problem. Get it? Ya, it’s a bit messy sounding and can lead down a pretty winding path of eye’s widening and exclaiming “ooooh!” I’m not going to lie, that winding path goes deep. Still, you don’t have to walk the whole thing today. Just get started, start thinking about things a little differently. A great philosopher (whose name escapes me right now, but if you…
Ever have a ‘who me?’ moment? You know, where you can’t believe someone just said that about you? I had 2 last week that have inspired this post that were almost identical. This of course, set me to mulling it over in my head and journaling about it to sort it all out. All it was, was a little side comment from someone. They simply said ‘Bonnie never gets upset, she’s always got it together even at the end of…
