For the most part I’m not a hoarder, but right now I can’t walk into my walk-in closet. It’s not that bad … things don’t tumble out when I open the door. But it’s time to purge. My risk is two-fold: “what to do” and “what not to do.” “What to do” is deciding what [...]
Whole Lotta Riskin’ Goin’ On
After blogging here for over a year, I’ve come to a few conclusions: You can’t work with, hang with or converse much with Laura Biering without some riskiness rubbing off on you. Risk is integral to the larger picture of living a conscious life and that knowledge, for me at least, is what makes risking [...]
Nothing New
Today I risk admitting that I haven’t taken any new risks lately. I haven’t made any visible progress on making more money. I haven’t been singing much since my exciting recital last summer. My goals are in hibernation. I finished a couple of projects, so I’m just living my life, trying to get to the [...]
I don’t know what the headline should be this time . . .

Silencing the Voices in My Head
There they are again … those voices in my head that want to drag me down. They’ve been showing up a lot lately, tormenting me with hateful questions and comments like: Who am I fooling? Who do I think I am, thinking I could ever accomplish something like that? Why would anyone listen to ME? What makes ME [...]
Water Wings & Cheerleaders
My usual blog day is the 15th, and my last entry was titled Swim or Sink. At that time, I was curled up in a fetal position, drifting in an ocean of tension and distress, depressed, terrified, lonely, and feeling my available choices were really no choices at all. Afraid of drowning emotionally, I reached [...]
