The spaces between

There are things known and things unknown and in between are the doors.

- Jim Morrison

There are spaces between the moments.

Between successes.

Between relationships.

Between projects.

Between purposes.

The time seems endless.

You can feel the restlessness.

You want to move, to plan, to do the doing that will get you to the next place, the next phase.

To keep up with the endlessness, and prove that you’re still good enough to be in the game.

To be there. To be seen. To matter.

But wait, dear heart.

You can wait.

You can pause, breathe, and take the space that is there in front of you.

You won’t miss it.

You have time.

What is for you will not pass you.

The space between the moments you think matter is where the moments that matter are.

Learn to soften.

To sit in the spaces between where you are going and where you are right now.

In that gloriously uncomfortable space between your being and your becoming.

And sit in the knowing that what is right here, right now, in this space, is enough for today and all of your tomorrows.

First, just a slight restlessness. Then a growing sense of discomfort. In my knees. In my ankles. An intense

Find your edge

It’s there. Behind the day to day. Just out of reach of what you know. Beyond what you think you are capable of. Just past your reach. It’s there. Outside your comfort zone. On the outskirts of the circle, way beyond the box. Just past the end of your fingertips even on your farthest reach.

You’ll do it when you’re ready

Rose came to me for coaching a few years ago. She was a burnt out marketing executive struggling to keep up with the demands of her job. In truth, the passion had completely run out of her. As we began working together, I could see that beneath the greyness that had become her working life,

What would it look like if it were easy?

What would it look like if it were easy? That thing you have been putting off because you think it’s going to be too hard. The work project you don’t want to start because you’re terrified it will be a struggle like the last one. The conversation you’re dreading with your partner because it’s going

Creating space

A woman is sitting in front of her therapist. Georgia came to see him desperately seeking a relationship. After many sessions, the therapist asked her what space she had created for this new relationship to come into her life. “Have you cleared out part of your wardrobe?” he asked. “What for?” Georgia questioned. “For the

You can strive for less

What would it feel like to strive for less, instead of more? You may need to sit with this one for a few moments. We are socially programmed to always want more. More money. A better job with a bigger title. A bigger business. A newer car. A larger house. The newest fashion in our
