We would like to encourage some intentionality and consideration when it comes to apologizing in the hopes that we can all move toward making authentic, sincere apologies. The words we use matter, and when they become complicated and confusing, it affects us all.

Life can be chaotic and even seem out of control. However, in our Yellow Room, we are learning that we cannot solve chaos from within the chaos. Instead, we truly can step out of the chaos and get a clearer view of our lives by being still and looking within.

Today, we want to share a few ideas that will give you the greatest chance for success in following through with your 2022 Resolutions and achieving your goals.

Wishing you all the best during this holiday season! Thank you for all the connection in 2021. We are excited for 2022.

Another Thanksgiving is upon us, and we hope yours is wonderful. Please be safe, enjoy your family and friends, and know we are grateful for you!

If you have talked to us for any length of time, you know that when we find ourselves in challenging situations and relationships, we are big on taking time to let our charged reactions, or in Nonviolent Communication terms our Jackal Language, subside BEFORE we share our truth with others.

The problem is, when happiness is our destination, we can very easily – and most of us DO – continually move the goalposts: We keep adding to our list of I’ll-be-happy-whens and concentrate more often on our many reasons why, “I can’t be happy because . . .”

Whether in our professional or personal lives, most of us have experienced coming to a crossroads - where we must choose between honoring our own boundaries and values or choosing against ourselves.

Yesterday was Book Club Sunday for us - and it truly was a beautiful day! As we waited for our book club participants to arrive, we had our office door open to the lovely view outside. The trees are all changing color, the grass is still green at Sherwood Park across the street, and there were so many families, couples, and friends out enjoying the day.

The truth is, we are all on our own hero’s journey – and life is about facing and overcoming the different obstacles on our unique paths. There is no way around our struggles and no easy path. If we want to find our authenticity, and ultimately peace, the only way runs through our pain and difficulties.

Today, we would like to express our appreciation for the hard work and vulnerability YOU ALL put into your coaching each and every day, week in and week out.

Today, we want to talk about social media. One aspect of social media that is very concerning to us is how it affects children and young adults. Children and young adults are not the only ones affected by social media, though. Plenty of adults are as well.

Giving advice to one another is something many of us do without really thinking. Yet, giving advice to someone who has not asked for it can cause a lot of problems.

We hope you are all doing well and are ready for a lovely Labor Day Weekend! Today, we want to update you on a few things going on in our beloved Yellow Room. Please join us for whatever interests you.

In our ever-changing, fast-paced world, time and time again, we will meet people who do not know what we know, have not experienced what we have experienced, and are newcomers to what is for us already part of our knowledge base. At first, in this situation, it may be shocking that someone does not know what we know, especially when we have possessed this knowledge for a long time.

When you experience an ending, make sure to give yourself the support you need, which may include reaching out to a coach or counselor.

Luckily all my worries came to a screeching halt when my phone rang this morning. Here was our beloved hygienist, calling US to express HER gratitude and appreciation for our years together. We had a lovely conversation, and it was very satisfying to be able to share together, exchange contact information, and make plans to meet again away from the dental office.

So much hurt and pain is caused in our world, communities, and homes because people don’t think before they speak. So even though we may feel frustrated, disheartened, or angry, it is wise to take some time before we engage with others to calm down and respond instead of reacting.

Last week, we took the week off. Well . . . not completely off. We worked two days instead of five – and it was wonderful. Ada completed a long-awaited painting project, and Annette caught up on some chores and reading. We both had time to rest as well.

This month we are continuing our It’s Okay If theme we started in our June Vlog. Here we discuss that it is definitely okay to need help.
