Six Years
Kim Cox
April 30, 2024
After two years of fairly consistent blogging, I stopped six years ago. As I think about it, I can’t remember why I stopped blogging. But, as I reflect on the events of the past six years, I can see that I must have had some sort of knowing, that I would need to conserve all of my energy to survive...

The Good and Bad World of Emotions
Kim Cox
January 14, 2018
Many of us were taught so very little about emotions. This is why I have been spending so many weeks writing about them both individually and collectively. Being willing to learn, explore and to be curious about things we don't fully understand, is key to breaking limiting beliefs and ultimately tapping into our unlimited potential. Let's discuss further good and...

The Depths of Grief
Kim Cox
December 17, 2017
Last week I wrote about sadness and used both the loss of life and the loss of health insurance as examples. Although I felt sadness for each, I did not in any way mean to diminish the loss of life. I started with sadness because that is what I felt. Grief was not an easy emotion for me to embrace...

Why Are You So Angry? There is No Reason to Be Angry
Kim Cox
November 26, 2017
Why are you so angry? There is no reason to be angry. We are so ignorant and immature in the way we perceive and deal with anger. I bet that made you feel a little angry. That is a good thing! I am glad to see your anger is working and sensing a potential boundary breech. I made a general...

Sensitive and Thankful for It
Kim Cox
November 19, 2017
In the US, this week is focused on being thankful. It is a celebration and sharing of the first harvest the Pilgrims had in the New World. It was attended by Native Americans and the Pilgrims. Differences were set aside and the feast was enjoyed by all. I don't know if it was as festive and filled with as much...

I’m. So. Bored.

November 12, 2017
Teenagers believe they own this statement for themselves and rightfully so. A teenager is an emerging adult trapped in an environment (and often a body) that is simply too small for its soul. We live in an unaware culture that no longer honors or performs rituals for one of the most complex transitions humans make, child to adult. We have...

The Bliss That is Joy
Kim Cox
November 5, 2017
Joy, such a sought after emotion and it should be. Give thanks for the delightful moment it brings to you. The expansion, communion and inspiration it brings. Bask in it. Then, let it go. Yes, let it go. Like all of the emotions, it needs to flow naturally. Joy is in abundance. It won't run out. It will come back...

The Impossible Task of Balancing When You Feel out of Balance
Kim Cox
October 22, 2017
You are feeling out of balance for a reason. The solution is not as obvious as you might think. It is not about bringing things into balance. Balance is hard. Try it. Get up and try to balance on one foot for longer than a few seconds. OK, now try staying that way all day. Not so easy, is it?...

Hijacked Selfies

September 30, 2017
If you have children, at some point you have been the victim of them taking your phone and filling it with goofy, hijacked selfies. I have actually witnessed people getting very upset about this and I have wondered why this harmless act is so distressing for people and I think I might know why. It doesn't have a damn...

Take Care

September 24, 2017
"Two things to remember in life. Take care of your thoughts when you are alone and Take care of your words when you are with people." ~Unknown Isn't that a great quote? Generally, I believe we try hard to watch what we say. Most of us don't ever want to intentionally hurt other people with our words. I am not so sure...

"Working on myself, by myself, for myself." ~Unknown This would be a piece of cake if it wasn't for the fact that we...

One of the things she...
