The Little Guide to the Inner Goddess at large!
In my article 'Meet your Inner Goddess', I look at how we all have within us, an Inner Goddess, and when we acknowledge her presence and live each day with her as our best ali, life changes in an instant. The kick ass Vixen knows that it simply does not matter what life throws at her, because her IG will rise to the challenge. Her....

‘To be or not to be.. The rabbit caught in the headlights’ Sarah Collier November 2009 “I have been there, I have looked over the edge, and I have returned” Sir Laurence Olivier wrote these words in his autobiography about how he coped with his stage fright. Many actors, singers and performers have experienced anxiety or stage fright at one point in their career. ....

How to look slimmer in minutes Wouldn’t it be great if we could have that extra bit of help to look and feel the way we really want to? We all know that a healthy diet, exercise and feeling positive are the ways to achieving the body we dream of. However, wouldn’t it be nice to have that extra bit of help? Wouldn’t it be fantastic to look like we have dropped a dress size within....

I am a glutton. It's the passion of us 7's on the Enneagram (also perhaps Scanners or Renaissance Souls?). It may not be about food (although that fits for me) but a glutton for anything -- experience, doing, seeing, touching, hearing, learning, etc.. I can feel like a giant mouth searching for things to CONSUME. Which can be really, really fun, if I keep coming back to the place of "Nothing....

We all have different strategies for doing things. Being aware of someone’s strategies means that you are prepared for how they might react to things and you understand why they react the way they do. It also means that you can use these strategies to communicate more harmoniously. Meanwhile, here’s some ways people have of behaving that you might notice now that you’re aware of....

Now let me explain that statement. If you see the world as a friendly place, you'll tend to notice the ways in which things work out for the best. Because you're looking for 'friendly' things to happen, you're that much more likely to find them. At times, you may even create them with your intention and actions. This ‘Law of Attraction’ has been known for centuries. What you believe and....

I stand by the bedroom door, warily eyeing the pile of books and magazines by my bed. Has it grown? I believe so. I'm not sure I can even get into the bed anymore. I move closer, pull out a sticky collection of mini-books. Just as I suspected! The books are breeding with the magazines, producing sound bites I will be forced to read. I quickly back away. That's okay, I'll simply go outside to....

I know that from time to time people doubt their own abilities and this can act as a barrier to moving forward in life. Perhaps you fear interviews or driving tests or are just too shy to say what you really want. Or perhaps you are returning to work after a long period of absence. Building confidence is about putting you first, learning how to value yourself, and staying in control when life....

It’s 9 a.m. I’m back from dropping off my daughter at school, and it’s time to work on My Novel, the one that I’ve talked about writing for years and have actually been working on for four. I’m so committed to writing this opus, I’ve downscaled my life, shrunk my coaching practice, and stopped saying yes to many outside commitments. But by 9:30, I’ve already checked my e-mail....

About the whole law of attraction stuff? Whether it's Abraham stuff or Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill or now The Secret? It's that, in me, it encourages my small self to rule the show. I find myself attracted to these ideas (pardon the small pun) but then my scritchy, controlling, to-do list, hurry up and gulp the world self gets all stoked. It rubs it's little lovely hands together and....

We all practice living our values. We practice democracy. We practice yoga. We practice loving kindness toward ourselves and others. The interesting part is that somewhere along the way the idea was introduced that "practice makes perfect." Well, I'm here to tell you, that's hogwash. Bull hockey. The cart before the horse. Practice is learning in motion. We don't get done with learning or get....

One of the most common reasons people give for not being able to lose weight is that they simply don’t have time to do all the things that they're supposed to do. Now you might be a bit like that and I know that your day normally starts off with good intentions. You know, you have your plan and that works right up until you get out of bed. Then the other things kick in, the kids....

The Face The face is a very telling organ and it talks incessantly. We are all familiar with obvious facial movements like raised eyebrows and a downturned mouth. But what about the not so obvious ones? Skin Colour Change Skin colour can change with emotion. When someone is ‘hot around the collar’ they’re experiencing a temperature rise and increased blood flow in the neck. These changes....

Last week I saw the epitome of stress. The plump guy on the phone, red faced, barked his instructions, pausing only long enough to draw breath, berate a subordinate and check his spreadsheet, while another phone buzzed on his desk. A common scene in the city, but this was not the trading floor of the stock exchange or money market. This was Loch Lomond and the guy was hiring out ‘pleasure’....

My friend Ann Cheng quipped recently, when I told her how horrible and unlovable I had been feeling, "You must be ready for a big breakthrough." What a lovely way to think of it, I thought, and then the next day the big breakthrough came I noticed the feeling of being connected, of being loved, at being at peace, came back. She was right. Then I heard Rev. Dr. John Polkinghorne, physicist and....
