View all 4 comments
by guest blogger Karen Jones On this journey of life, it's completely normal to have times when we feel down. And while these states do pass, it sometimes feels as if they won't.  We can move through them more effectively - and even joyfully - with some tried and true practices, though, so here are some of the things I do, and recommend to ot...

Many of us are tempted to make resolutions or set intentions as January arrives. It’s hard to resist the promise of a fresh new year, full of possibilities and opportunities to make changes in our lives for greater well-being and fulfillment. By spring, however, many of those plans and good intentions have typically been co...

by Kim Childs, CPPC

When people ask me what kinds of clients I mostly work with, I don't have a pat answer because I've worked with both men and women, ages 20-something to 70-something. I can, however, identify what often unites them: they have discounted their desires and believed their doubts and fears to the point of inaction. They come to m...

Summer “Soulcation”

View all 2 comments
Last summer, I enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime journey to South Africa, where I toured the country performing with my chorus and experiencing moments of awe, joy, and connection that will last me forever. This summer I took a different journey - inward - to process the recent death of my father and some other personal losses and endings. As grief forc...

We lost my sweet, salty, quirky, loving dad last month after a heartbreaking battle with COPD. He hung in there long and strong, until he couldn't, and died just short of his 81st birthday this weekend. Peter Barry Childs was a Cape Cod native, born into a large Irish Catholic family and raised in Centerville, MA. He went ...

by Kim Childs, CPPC

As I headed toward my 55th birthday this winter, I started to think about my intention for this next chapter of life. I decided that feeling more empowered was the overarching goal, and adopted the cartoon character Kim Possible as my role model. About the same time, I read a horoscope that said 2018 was "the year to kick you...

by Kim Childs, CPPC

This month, we “fell back” an hour when Daylight Savings Time ended, to gain more light before moving into the shorter days of winter. Likewise, when we’re preparing to move forward in life, we may sometimes need to first go back in time. Just as an archer prepares to shoot an arrow by pulling it back to prepare, focus,...

The Courage to Ask for Help

by Kim Childs, CPPC

Last month, I noticed my coaching client scribbling earnestly during our session, as we were discussing the difference between willpower ("I want to ___") and way power ("I may need help, training, instruction and a plan to ___").

When Dreams are Delayed (not Denied)

September 6, 2017GeneralKim Childs
Leave a comment

by Kim Childs, CPPC

About 20 years ago, I heard a phrase in a 12-step meeting that lodged itself firmly in my head: God's delay is not God's denial. Today I have several examples, and not just in my own life, of how this phenomenon plays out. No matter your religious beliefs, embracing the notion that some dreams may take longer to manifest ...

This summer I'm headed back to Africa, a continent beloved to my very soul. My connections to the land and people run deep, perhaps even beyond this lifetime. Here's why...

In the fall of 1996, I was invited to visit my friend Liz in Zimbabwe, where she was doing economic development work. I ju...
