Transforming worry into peace

February 1, 2018 by Amy Collette Leave a Comment

I come from a long line of world-class worriers - you probably do, too. We consider it a natural part of being a human. But what if it could be different? I found a wonderful book about how to worry less. It’s called “Feel the Fear . . . and Do It Anyway” by Susan [...]

Thursday thanks – is once a week enough?

May 7, 2015 by Amy Collette Leave a Comment

Is once a week enough? For what, you're thinking... Practicing gratitude! What did you think I was talking about? <grin> Once a week is a good start, if you're not ready to commit to a daily practice. Make Thursday your "Thanks Day" and write down what you're grateful for. People in your life, a smile [...]

Thursday thanks: positive relationships

April 16, 2015 by Amy Collette Leave a Comment

We all know the destructive power of unhealthy relationships - they can tear down our self-esteem and make us angry, unhappy, and stressed out. It’s easy to get obsessed with that nasty person at work or the annoying neighbor upstairs. But the positive people in our lives give us energy make us feel happy, hopeful, [...]

Thursday thanks: let it grow

April 5, 2015 by Amy Collette Leave a Comment

It's spring, and suddenly all the trees are budding. It's easy to be in a good mood when the season is changing to warmer weather and things are green. But in this part of the country (Colorado), winter is not over. It was 70 degrees yesterday, but it's forecast to snow today. People around here can get [...]

What does it mean to be whole?

March 30, 2015 by Amy Collette Leave a Comment

I like to “get out of my mind” enough to hear the whispers of intuition, the voice of Spirit. Some kind of practice like meditation or a walk in the woods usually does it for me.

Thursday thanks: break the “oh, %#!, I’m late!” habit

I'm late already! How often do you bolt up in bed in the morning, look at the clock and think, “Oh, no! I’m late!” Then the rest of the mantra starts, “gotta rush, too much to do, where’s my stuff, I should have, I’m never gonna get it all done…” That kind of panic pops [...]

Extending your runway

March 5, 2015 by Amy Collette Leave a Comment

I read a great quote from James Altucher about his motivation for making money. “My only goal with money is zero to do with buying things but everything to do with extending the runway to enjoy the other pursuits in my life.” I love the runway metaphor. Making money for money’s sake is an empty endeavor. But living [...]
