Researchers tell us that human beings think about 60,000 thoughts a day, and about 80% of them are “negative”. That means almost 40,000 negative thoughts per day are dripping through your system — your mind, your body, your emotions, and your spiritual self. Most of those thoughts are judging thoughts.
Read MoreHere’s a new series for you called Unraveling Self-Stopping. Today we’re going to talk about Overwhelm.
The aim of this series is to unravel the knots that are holding you back from achieving more of your dreams and desires.
Read MoreJudgment is very stealthy. It actually seems to be in the air we breathe and the water we drink.
It’s everywhere – judging ourselves, judging others, judging our accomplishments, judging our body. It really does go on and on forever.
Read MoreSome of the most successful business owners I know communicate with their business regularly.
Sound strange?
Do you wonder why they do that and how?
What the business people who talk to their business tell me is that their business is an entity with intelligence and desires of its own. When they communicate with and listen to their business, they get new ideas and perspectives they would not have gotten without asking.
Read MoreIt’s Summer Solstice here in the northern hemisphere. Lots is going on. You may feel upset by the news. I don’t follow the news real closely, but three different friends have told me about the situation with the children at the Mexican border and they’re highly upset. That got my attention. It got me to thinking, “What can we do? What can I do? I'm not an elected official. I'm not in Congress. I'm not the president. What can I do?”
Read MoreI spent the weekend in the heart of America - near Prairie Home, Missouri - where the horse and cattle population outnumbers more than the human inhabitants in town and you have to drive a ways to shop. There corn and soybeans grow in abundance on rolling hills, guns are toted, and people know how to fix things and break horses.
Read MoreYou are probably completely confused about what you deserve. You may think you need another degree or certificate or 12 more years of experience or to become prettier/slimmer/richer before you deserve more clients and more money. I think that idea is wildly untrue and damaging to you and your business.
Read MoreLast week I wrote about my realization of the many years spent trying to be “not me”. Trying to fit in, to do it “right”, to be approved of and included. A friend responded so generously with, “I love you being you.” Isn’t that a great message to receive? For sure, we women are encouraged, directed, and even programmed to be “not ourselves”. Whole industries – fashion, makeup, hair, diet, body image, etc. - and career directions are built on women fitting into certain norms and roles.
Read MoreRecently a friend whom I hadn’t seen in years said to me, “I’ve been reading your emails and something has changed recently. I am now feeling drawn into what you are writing. What has changed?”

Read MoreIn the Northern Hemisphere, Tuesday was the first day of spring. Can you feel new life beginning as plants push up into the light and birds chirping and singing? After the challenges of winter, it is thrilling to feel the tender shoots of life stirring. What is springing up in your life and business?
Read MoreThe first ever Abundance with Adele live workshop was a BLAST! It sold out and had standing room only attendance with great women business owners and service professionals learning how to bring more money into their businesses. At the end I gave them the assignment to ask Expansive Questions whenever they feel stuck or frustrated about money. The most popular one was this: "Who can I be to bring (put your desire here) into my business each and every month?"
Read MoreLet’s dive deeper into our conversation about expanding your abundance limits.Last time I asked the two really important questions, from Gay Hendricks’s book The Big Leap:“How much love and abundance am I willing to allow?”And “How am I getting in my own way?”
Read MoreIt’s Self-Improvement Time! A new year propels us to new goals and resolutions to make better things happen in our life. What gets very tricky – down right challenging – is when the new habits (did anyone say “better diet and more exercise?”) become inconvenient, hard, and so unfamiliar that we give up on them before January is over. My intention for 2018 is to expand my Abundance in every area in my life and business and make that expansion real and sustainable throughout the year and in future years to come.
