My Number One Career and Soul Coaching Tip: Listen with Love

Guest Author, August 29, 2010

Please welcome back expert career and life coach Tama Kieves, bestselling author of This Time I Dance! Creating the Work You Love who has helped thousands world-wide to discover and live their creative dreams. Woohoo, yes please. Big love and thanks to Tama. Enjoy, Pinkies!

I meet many people blocked to their own desires and I want to wring my hands, in sadness, because I know the joy and awe of living one's dreams in one's lifetime. And I'm like the crazy host at the party that says, "You have to try the ginger chicken... the sesame tofu... the cobbler... the brownies." I want everyone to swallow bliss. I want everyone to feel as though they're standing on the mountain top, having their own personal picnic with God and God just says, can you pass the crackers please, and you do, but you can't help giggling because it's just ridiculous to be this alive. Some days I am living proof that this is possible -- and I want to picnic with you.

Mothering Ourselves: Nurturing Yourself, Your Dreams and the World

Guest Author, June 28, 2010

Please welcome back Pink Goddess Tama Kieves, author of This Time I Dance: Creating the Work You Love. She speaks to us today about the oft-forgotten necessity of mothering ourselves -- self-care to a T, Pinkies! Enjoy, and many thanks as always to Tama!

I have had to learn how to mother myself in this lifetime. I love my mother, more so these days than ever before, but for many years I felt like I got the short end of the umbilical cord. Like many of us, I didn’t get the movie mother in this lifetime, the tireless cheerleader, the fierce cub-protector, or the one who listened deeply to all my secret places and saw colors in me, I had yet to see. That mother was on back order when I was placing my cosmic selection. Instead, I got someone who hadn’t exactly read the manual, and I know now, deserved and needed a mother herself.

But I have become a great mother to myself.

Take Time to Recharge Your Batteries

Lissa Rankin, December 4, 2009

It’s been a hell of year, Pinkies. I mean- good stuff- all of it exactly what I’ve asked for. But in the course of one year, I’ve moved my family to Marin County, started an integrative medicine practice at CLEAR Center of Health, launched and managed a team of 22 Pinkies who help me run Owning Pink, communicated with you Pinkies, completed one book and written another, lead workshops, prepared for 3 solo art shows, and struggled to stay present for my husband and daughter. It’s A LOT. Too much, really. And yet, I did it.
