All of us have vampires in our lives, people who suck our energy. Sometimes these vampires are very clever about stealing our energy before we even know it. Usually where there are strong obligations, there are strong vampires. The “what I must do” is often bullied by a strong vampire making sure that is so.

Sometimes vampires operate at very high levels with smiles on their faces, leaders of the pack. I was leading a team that happened to be all women on a project that took months to complete. Everyone was a volunteer from different companies, and most of these women were vampires. One in particular ruled them all. Skillful vampires can shut you down with the look of an eye, and they can zap you of your energy before you even know they’ve taken a bite!

We are all asked to do things we don’t like to do, at work and in life.  We’re also put in situations to deal with people we prefer not to be around.  It is our nature to go to war.  We are not trained to be luvvers.  It is only in our essence, which must be developed, that we learn to luvv what we don’t like.

We are not aware of how transparent we really are.  We seem to think that if we sugar coat a message or just tell it like it is, others won’t notice the dagger in our hand, or that they just had all their energy sucked out of their being in the midst of a rough conversation.

My nephew recently said he wished he could bottle up my outlook on life and have it at his disposal when he needed it. So do I! I wish it was that easy. It made me think about what I do to keep that energy flowing through me.

Lulu says hello. Lulu passed away and left her body. Her spirit lives on.

She was around 16 years old. I had lived with her and her doggy self for 15 years and 3 months and 3 days. I loved her deeply. She had strong feelings about me too. She didn’t want to leave and that’s why she stayed around so long, even when she was in pain in the body. She died in her sleep and looked peaceful.

Are you looking to have a very Merry Christmas or Holiday? Do your expectations exceed what really happens? Then it may be time for a different approach to keeping the spirit season. Why not discover how to maintain balance, enjoy the season and recharge your battery at the same time.

Over the years I have learned how my own set of beliefs around traditions have stymied my joy during this season. Through trial and error and a little nudging, I have gradually disrobed myself of the traditions that have left me frustrated and drained, and have embraced the fresh scent of the pines that comes with each new Christmas.

Something’s strange in the neighborhood. Who ya gonna call–Ghostbusters?

I was given an assignment by a new client, the president of a fast paced, sales driven company, to train a dynamic manager at one of his satellite offices in skills he needed due to his growing facility. I spent two days with the manager, establishing a great connection so that he would trust me and learn from me around time management and delegation skills. I put together a summary that outlined what we had covered.

When the president read what I had written, he emailed me with a biting statement: “This is not what I asked you to do. Call me immediately.” My heart pounded out of my chest as I read this. Click to Continue Reading…

Ride the roller coaster of change.
Sit in the front seat with your hands in the air and yell, “Wheeeee!”

Now that’s a theme for 2010—ride the change!

For the most part, even as smart people, we are programmed to resist change. We fight it and avoid it and bad mouth it and deny it, and in the end, it’s still upon us. And 2010 is bringing in the change like a big dog! Click to Continue Reading…
