The Profound Privilege of Suffering

June 10, 2011 – 1:56 pm

Tweet Wow. I’m realizing in this moment that it has been almost two months since my last confession, er, post (raised Roman Catholic). By now many of you have figured out why I’ve been away: I’ve been growing two human beings in my belly. That’s right… after all that, we did it! Despite that fact […]

What Do You Do Anyway?

April 15, 2011 – 10:48 am

Tweet This month marks one year since the official launch of Restoring Power. Whoo hoo! For close to a decade before that, I was a business consultant & coach but after an opportunity to reevaluate my work, my life, my offer to the world, I went back to my roots and am now doing different […]

Patience.

March 11, 2011 – 10:30 am

Tweet Turns out patience is a tricky thing. Proving to be one of the hottest topics yet, we Salon ladies dove into vivid conversation about patience; what it means, how we work with it in our lives, and who else might live in it’s neighborhood. Beginning with defining the word, it was a little trickier […]

My Gorgeous Community

December 13, 2010 – 2:50 pm

Tweet Our Restoring Power Holiday Party was a smashing success! It was full of amazing, incredible people (seriously, everyone kept saying to me, “Such great people at your party!”, to which I’d say, “I know! I’ve been telling you! I’m blessed!”), holiday music, an abundance of food+wine, and good cheer. And how about that harpist, […]

Do You Really Want What You Think You Want?

December 3, 2010 – 4:12 pm

Tweet I’ve worked with countless powerful women — from executive to artist to athlete — and I can say for certain, we as a group are atrocious at getting our fundamental needs met. Daily needs? No problem. Deep fundamental needs? Not so much. Women—particularly successful, “with-it” women—have an uncanny ability to ignore,
 disable, and deny […]

Creating Your Outer Heart

June 15, 2010 – 12:53 pm

Tweet This blog is written by guest blogger, Tara Mohr, writer, personal growth teacher and coach. I appreciate the term self-care, I really do. I understand the need for some word in our language that means something along these lines. But that phrase, self-care, has always turned me off. It reminds me of college, where […]

I must be a masochist. Or, why I love my work.

June 10, 2010 – 1:57 pm

Tweet Let’s reflect, shall we? A while back I hosted my first Salon in over 6 years- the first Salon ever for Restoring Power. The topic was community and partnership. I opened, as I usually do, with about five to ten minutes of my recent and personal reflections on the topic then I put out […]

Love as a Choice

May 11, 2010 – 10:35 am

Tweet By Guest blogger, Dayna Reader I grew up watching the kind of movies in which couples met, fell in love and lived happily ever after. Love was portrayed as this big, magical feeling; it was out there waiting, you just had to find it and snap it up, and life would be great. I […]

Dr. Laura, being nice, and things that seem hard

May 3, 2010 – 12:30 pm

In our efforts to be nice we buy into the Universal Agreement that “it’s-hard” is in fact a good, solid reason for not taking the action we think/know/feel is right to be taking.
