Life's Negotiations

Unlike the dentist, this won't hurt a bit.

It's mid-January, when holidays are a memory, you're back to a routine and resolutions, such as they are, may not be sticking.

That's why it's time for check-in.

What an amazing year it's been.

Thanks to changing the story of my life, my Hug Tour, and in large part to the smart, driven, and sometimes silly (I wouldn't have it any other way) individual clients and businesses I've worked with this year.

Looking for inspiration to take a leap in 2012?

It may surprise you that what gets in the way of you going after your goal is just as important as the goal itself.

A recent article in Yoga Journal is about achieving goals. It introduces two simple steps that I'd like to elaborate on.

1. Commit to a goal or practice.
2. Remove obstacles in the way.

First, a goal can be anything you want:  starting your own business, improving relationships, eating well, exercising regularly...

How do I leap if I don't know what will happen?

Well, why do you think we call it a leap?

We all want a sure thing. To know that the big dream we have for ourselves will come together perfectly.

You may have heard about the worldwide Free Hugs campaign. It's a beautiful sentiment.

It's not a Hug Tour.

Since launching my Hug Tour in April, people have sent me Free Hugs videos, and photos of Free Hugs t-shirts they find wherever they are in the world. It's immensely gratifying to be linked with hugs.
