Do you need to shoot that second arrow?
a moment to pause
On Tuesday, I celebrate 22 years since My Last Bad Day, which sparked Pause Breathe Reflect. I still clearly remember the morning before my first P.B.R. moment. Feeling overwhelmed, I broke down during a physical therapy session, and my therapist gave me time to collect myself. My accident broke more than my body; it shattered my identity. I was desperate to find my way back home, but I was forcing it, which was my way back then. The more I struggled, the more force I applied, but it wasn't working well enough. In the space that my therapist provided, I recalled...

They're the ones we rush through as we strive toward our big "I'm sharing this on social" moments. There's a tenderness in these smaller moments; they're the genesis of success and happiness.

I sold my first item on Wednesday and posted a few more things this morning to keep the momentum going. Within minutes, I...
#62 Mindful Moment - An awesome customer service call
#62 - an awesome customer service call It's never a great moment when there's a need to call or chat with customer support. Often we are confused or frustrated, and the folks on the other end are tired. It has all the ingredients of a no-bueno stew. It's a moment that calls for mindfulness - especially as it relates to the energy we wish to ripple at the start of the call. I'll be the first to say that beginning the call with kindness doesn't guarantee a perfect outcome, but it sure feels better. If you know...
