Why we all don’t have what we want - I’ve been involved in the human potential movement or on a personal growth path for 30 years. When I started on my path I didn’t know I was on a path; I just knew I was in so much angst about my life and my body that I had to do something. What I did was go to a 12-Step program and found a spiritual answer or rather I began to understand how life really works - not what I had learned from my parents who actually didn’t have a clue. It’s not that at 37 I found all the answers. I found out there were questions. Much more important. |

Why we all don’t have what we want
Personal Growth for All
I’ve been involved in the human potential movement or on a personal growth path for 30 years. When I started on my path I didn’t know I was on a path; I just knew I was in so much angst about my life and my body that I had to do something. What I did was go to a 12-Step program and found a spiritual answer or rather I began to understand how life really works - not what I had learned from my parents who actually didn’t have a clue. It’s not that at 37 I found all the answers. I found out there were questions. Much more important.
So my journey has wound and wound and found me living in
It took me out of my first marriage of 15 years into single parenthood with 4 children with lots of low self esteem.
It took me to other 12-Step programs. It found my second husband of 6 mos. in that 12-Step program and led me out of the marriage and the program again.
It found me at an obscure workshop called Making Love Work by the then very unknown Barbara deAngeles and John Gray.
It found me discovering my childhood incest and back into another 12-Step program.
It took me back to John Gray and Men Are from Mars . It found me my 3rd husband of 22 years.
It took me to coaching and writing - and many other places.
My life is a miracle to behold. I have 4 lovely adult children, 2 amazing grandchildren, a beautiful daughter-in-law and a beautiful daughter-in-law-to-be. It gave me a most precious and special relationship with my step daughter. It gave me friendly but far-away relationships with my other step children and grandchildren.
Why did a woman who was emotionally and sexually abused as a child, who suffered from very damaged self-esteem, married 3 times(!), who saw herself as a victim etc. etc etc. get such a great current life. THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE. I DO THE WORK I UNDERSTAND NEEDS DOING TO HEAL, TO GROW AND I DO IT 100%. Whether it’s with a coach, without a coach, in a 12-step program or out - NO MATTER WHAT, I do and have done the work.
If you have that kind of commitment to your path, you have anything you want. I promise.

Hey, Stop Snoozing Over There!May 8, 2011 - 9:07:14 AM We lead lives filled with bells and whistles. Unfortunately, they aren't the kind that mean upgrades! Instead, I'm referring to the constant alerts that sound during our day starting with the alarm clock in the morning signaling that a new day has begun to the wristband alert at night reminding us to take our medication. The good news is that these alerts help us remember to do all the things we need to get done each day. Unfortunately, there's a "bad news" part too.... [Read the full story] |

Which Books To Keep? - Making Really Hard ChoicesMar 20, 2011 - 3:55:47 PM When I downsized to a small cottage about six years ago, I had to pare down the number of books I owned. This was a huge issue for me. I'm a book fanatic. All hope is lost when I walk into a bookstore. We're talking hundreds of dollars a visit. In fact, if I have less than 15 books scattered around the house waiting to be read, I get nervous!... [Read the full story] |
