Lessons from a Recovering Doormat

This is post 91 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action. You CAN use your power to attract all that you need. I do it every day! Read the posts in this series to see how. I learned about the power of cause and effect when I manifested an appearance on Howard…

On Saturday the US played England in soccer. It was the first time that they’ve played each other in many years. Last time the US won. This time the Brits were primed to beat us. Their fans taunted the Americans, making fun of the fact that we call it soccer and not football, which for…

Last week I talked about the importance of speaking up for YOU, your needs and your time in my post called Turning Over Your Welcome Mat. I call it personal freedom because tying up your time for others keeps you a prisoner of other people’s needs. Setting boundaries on what you can and can’t do…

I’m honored to have an interview with Gary Player, one of golf’s greatest champions. As one of the “Big Three” of golf’s golden era (with Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer), he helped launch golf as a major international sport.

And I appreciate those of you who gave advice to others who posted comments. It’s truly a blessing to share what you learn. Now I’m preparing my BIG giving…

Have been on agreeable autopilot for most of your life? Getting at least somewhat comfortable with expressing yourself will feel liberating. If you’re hesitant to speak your mind or turn down requests that will inconvenience you, imagine the consequences and self-chastising of holding your feelings in. When I was a DoorMat, the idea of making…

DoorMats have a tough time resolving conflicts. Often we do what we can to avoid them to the point of generating serious negative emotions from not addressing what bothers us. If we reach the breaking point, our handling of the conflict can be emotional and ineffective. I’m delighted to have Rev. Dr. Mark Robinson as…

I never stop being astounded by what clients tell me they hear from others and adopt as their truth about themselves. Just because someone says, “You’ll never amount to anything,” especially years ago, doesn’t mean it’s true, unless you make it so. Many beliefs that we hold onto go back to early childhood.
