One of the sweetest, hardest, most bewildering, most rewarding lessons you can learn is how to stand in the face of no agreement. Standing in no agreement means that you have no agreement from outside sources that what you are intending is valid or going to come true. There aren’t people (or even one) saying, “Yeah! You’re going to get that job/loving partner/admission to grad school.” You don’t even have your own assurance. Your own eyes can’t see how it is going to manifest. But you stand. You are standing in the face of ‘no agreement’ about your intention.
You may ask, but why is it taking so long? Why is it so hard right now? If I have negative emotions, am I jacking up my vibration? What do I do with my emotions of sadness, loss, confusion, frustration, failure, shame?
Part of our journey is going through phases of contrast, meaning, you will produce results that are in opposition to your heart’s desires. When we go through contrast (having to go without) we expand. We actually grow in places we never normally would so that …
Anytime you start a new program, you will begin with a bang and then can slide into feeling stuck, unmotivated, or bewildered. Seems like EVERYBODY ELSE is creating all these awesome miracles and you aren’t seeing anything close to it. Maybe you have skipped some of the practice exercises and you are making yourself wrong for that.
First, it’s important to know that even if you had NOT signed up for the 7 Miracles Project and you didn’t know a single one of these tools, you would be a powerful miracle maker. Your destiny and your identity as a beautiful, …
Hello loves! Just wanted to thank you again for your support from yesterday as I shared openly about my recent loss of a friendship and the new miracle I am creating as a stand for pure love. You guys get it, and you are incredible!
Jean asked a great question about cleaning up (from the video, Your integrity: The mac daddy of creation). She asked: “Can you give an example of a conversation you would have with someone when you are out of integrity? Aside from an apology, what else is good to say?”

The vagaries of love and despair keep our lives in high drama, don’t they? And man! if we could just figure out how to crack the code on healthy, peaceful coupling, we’d have it made. Many times, my clients come to me in the midst of a tangled, painful relationship that has gone septic, or they are in heartbreak hell and trying to conduct a postmortem on the relationship.
I have a naturally optimistic view of love, relationships, and the abundant opportunities …
It’s midnight. The road beneath me is black and the lane reflectors tick past me like pulsing flash bulbs. The ambient glow of my headlights pushes a half circle of warm light in front of my car. 12:03, it’s officially Monday morning.
I drive to kiss my daughters good-night after a six-hour flight from frigid New York. My heart beats warm inside me, swelling with love for them. I can’t wait to kiss their soft cheeks and squeeze them close. Even as teenagers, the girls are sweet and kind.
Many times, clients will come into my practice and, though they don’t know each other, there will be the same general issue going on with all of them. Sometimes the main problem is lack of faith in themselves, or unresolved anger from the past, or spiritual malaise. During one patch of time in 2011, the trend was repeat heartbreak from choosing crappy partners. Both the guys and the girls in my practice seemed to be struggling with this. One Saturday I sat down and thought,”If I could give them …
We’re talking about self love a lot lately. Thank goodness, because we sure weren’t talking about it when I was growing up. It integrates into almost every conversation I’m having with my colleagues, clients, and friends these days. And as big topics go, sometimes things can get a little skewed and dysmorphic as we seek to understand and apply the principles.
Straight up: I think loving yourself is very, very important. It makes you a more solid, happy, centered person. Self love can help you take …
Thomas J. Leonard was my very first coaching mentor. I happened upon his work when I was researching the option of becoming a virtual assistant back in 2002. After participating in the CoachU community for over a year, I decided that my path was to be a life coach/healer. Thank you Thomas Leonard! : )
Thomas had a knack for simplifying distinctions so that anyone – especially the beginner – could understand and apply the tools. I adored him for that. He wrote the following article about …
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear. She let go of the judgments. She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head. She let go of the committee of indecision within her. She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a book on how to let go. She …
This was probably the most profound discovery that I’ve had yet this month.
I figured out what it’s going to take to reach my goal of running 10 miles, and it’s not what I thought!!
Something for you: Ask yourself this question any time you’re feeling stuck or trapped in a pattern:
“What is perfect about this right now that I’m not getting?”
You will be blown away by your answer.
If you need more of something (more strength, more insight, more money, more connection, more inspiration) ask yourself, “What have I been absolutely unwilling to receive, that if I …
Resistance is just a dumb (conquerable) monster. Don’t buy into the bullsh*t!!
Today we’re having a little story time…This is one of the best books I’ve ever read: Do the Work by Steven Pressfield. My copy is dog-eared, highlighted, underlined, and mutilated (and very well-loved). You will get so much out of it…and it’s a short read.
I hope you guys are rocking Day 9!!
Love you, Steph xo
