Our 180 Stars

September 10, 2017 By Kim Cox

Our 180 Stars Our 180 Stars. A couple of years ago, my sister and her boyfriend of almost 15 years, decided to get married. They didn’t want a traditional wedding, but, rather, a simple back yard surprise wedding. My sister found some pictures of some beautiful backyard weddings and she pieced together what she wanted.

Authenticity

August 27, 2017 By Kim Cox

Authenticity Authenticity Genuine. That is how I see authenticity. Fake. That is the opposite of authenticity. We are all genuine at times and fake at times. Why? I think it is a head and heart thing. When we come from the heart, we are authentic. When we come from the head, not so much. Our […]

When Helping Isn’t Helpful

July 9, 2017 By Kim Cox

When Helping Isn’t Helpful I have often struggled with even being able to ask for help. I used to think that it was a flaw in me. Something I needed to work on and get better at doing. I don’t think that way anymore. Too often when we ask for help from someone, support, assistance […]

June 18, 2017 By Kim Cox

Inadequate

June 4, 2017 By Kim Cox

Effective change

“Like drawing a rainbow with one crayon.” ~ Deb L. We all feel inadequate at some point in time. We think we are not smart enough. Not tall enough. Not strong enough. Too fat. Over sensitive. Too loud. On and on and on. We cope. We deal with these perceived inadequacies in one way or another. […]

Energetic Groping

April 9, 2017 By Kim Cox

I recently saw a Facebook post where the writer used this term, “Energetic Groping”. The crux of the post was about someone trying to market to another person based on an intuitive piece of information that they had received about that person. The writer was not happy about the way in which the person was […]

Is it Pain or Is it Energy?

February 25, 2017 By Kim Cox

Pain or Energy

What is your body communicating to you – is it pain or is it energy? There is a pretty well know story about “The Fall” and I have many issues regarding this story but there is one that stands out the most for me. It has to do with the introduction of the nocebo effect. […]

Compliance and Meekness

February 19, 2017 By Kim Cox

Compliance, Meekness, Go beyond the words

Words to me are both fascinating and infuriating at the same time. Words are the most commonly practiced way in which we currently communicate with one another and words are so often misunderstood, misused, manipulated (twisted) and by far the least effective way to communicate. Empathy, sensing, energy, feelings…these are all much simpler and reliable […]

An Effortless Mental Shift to Change Limiting Beliefs

February 9, 2016 By Kim Cox

shining light on meadow

Quotes and song lyrics can be just the thing you need on any given day, or during any given situation, and I enjoy them immensely. But I really dislike the ever so minuscule limiting messages that are part of so many of these seemingly awesome words of wisdom. Wondering what the hell I mean?

Bossy, Bitchy or Leader

Bossy or bitchy leader

  I first saw this image on Facebook. It was shared by a few of my female friends, all of whom are entrepreneurs. They wrote captions such as “Because I only want what is best for you.” and “See, your daughter is a leader.” Bossy, Bitchy or Leader?
