Forgiveness – Thriveology
Thanksgiving, the holiday, is often lost in food and family. What is lost? Our opportunity to experience gratitude. The chance to really give thanks. Many times, it can feel like an obligation. Instead, I suggest we see it as an opportunity. Even in tough moments (actually, especially in tough moments), we can make a shift […]
A few weeks ago, a coaching client noted her resistance to forgiving for fear that she would be vulnerable to being hurt. I told her that was not at all true. In fact, being alive leaves you open to hurt! But not forgiving? It offers no protection. It does, however, prolong the pain caused by […]
Over the past 7 episodes, we have been building our Thrive Code. The code to follow that allows us to thrive, and also the code that runs your system, like computer code. And we are closing in on the finish line! We bring the series to an end in this episode. The final piece of […]
If you are in the States, we are on the cusp of the Holiday season, kicking off with Thanksgiving in just a few days. For me, the Holidays throughout the year are moments to step into gratitude. Not just in a little “thank you for that gift,” but in a gratitude for being alive. For […]
Have you seen this picture in your FB feed or on Twitter? It crossed my path a number of times. The first time I saw it, I was immediately uncomfortable. But it took a little time for me to be clear on why. There is a point to it: just because you apologize doesn’t mean […]

Forgiving is an important skill. When we forgive people for hurts and slights in the past, we get to free ourselves from those events. (That skill is so important that I wrote a book about the process I created. That book is The Forgive Process.) But what about forgiving yourself? Why would you need to […]
Another year has passed. I added a year to when I answer, “How old are you?” Well, at least in theory. I am an unreliable narrator for reporting my age. By accident. But on a repeated basis. That said, as I recorded this episode of the podcast, and write these words, I am celebrating 55 […]
The world seems to be careening forward these days. It can feel like we are just holding on for dear life. But are we? Sure, there are events that we can’t stop or prevent. Weather comes. Accidents happen. Others make choices that impact us…. Wait. Back up there. Did you see that? Others are making […]
Have you ever arrived at that spot in life…the place you were pushing to be…only to look around and realize it was not what you thought it would be? In fact, it isn’t even what you want? Maybe that dream job, relationship, or status, really wasn’t the dream, after all. Even if you worked hard […]
