25 Signs You’re Succeeding At Life (Even If It Doesn’t Feel Like It)

Whenever I see posts like "3 easy ___" or 25 Signs You're ______", I am skeptical at best. Life rarely fits into neat little lists that are supposed to let you know anything about yourself that is productive or of substance. I do appreciate those who take the time to catalog information easily digestible. This is where the post titled, "25 Signs You're Succeeding At Life (Even If It Doesn't Feel Like It)" by Shannon Kaiser feels like it might at least point in the direction of what succeeding at life may feel like for a significant group of people. Not all listed apply to all of us, but I think there is value in reflecting on this particular list to see where you are seeing progress and where to focus more energy and attention. ...

17 Lies We Need to Stop Teaching Girls About Sex

It is common knowledge that young girls experience incredible pressure pushing them towards and pulling them away from sex. As if girls do not have a choice or vote on their sexuality. In reading 17 Lies We Need to Stop Teaching Girls About Sex by Julianne Ross, I am reminded of just how many ways young girls are influenced and pressured to meet the needs of others, whether that be their father, mother, friends, clergy, or boyfriends. It's time we collectively begin teaching girls the truth about sex and their sexuality. The lies we teach them are not productive nor in their best interests. ...

Providence Life Coach Dating Success Series – Conscious Coupling

Conscious coupling seems to be getting a lot of press these days; celebrities tend to make this sort of thing happen - Madonna at The Kabbalah Centre and Julia Roberts with Hindu are examples of when they speak openly about religion or spirituality. I am not sure why this happens, but it does. I have never seen celebrities as people I wanted to be like, at least not those in the entertainment industry. Growing up, many athletes gave their time to worthy causes that I looked up to for that reason in the 60's and 70's. I have never felt drawn to the fact that "so and so" said something means it is something important or of value. However, it does seem that Richard Gere's My Journey with Buddhism has really committed to the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism without making it feel like a publicity stunt. I happened to be participating in the Kalachakra with The Dalai Llama back in 2000 with Richard Gere and other famous people present for the ten days of spiritual training. They all kept a low profile with no autographs or photos, just like everyone else receiving the training....

Providence Life Coach Dating Success Series – Mindful Dating

What is mindful dating? Mindful dating is bringing all of you to the present, including your Highest Self, to dating. Dating is often thought of as an exercise in wanting to convince someone you are good enough for them; what if we flipped this around to say, "I want to bring all of me to dating and see if we are going to be sensational down the road after we get to know each other, not just during the honeymoon phase of dating?" What would that feel like for you? ...

Providence Life Coach Dating Success Series – Be You

We all know dating can be very challenging, between the awful blind dates, the people who pretend to be something they aren’t, the awkwardness, the general disappointment and wanting something and not finding, at least not yet. There is also an amazing side to dating too. But do the disappointments outweigh the benefits? My personal and professional experience demonstrates that the benefits do outweigh the disappointments. The key is how to go about meeting and dating the right people for the right relationship if a meaningful relationship is what you want. Be you....
