Rather than Numb Out, Tune In!
As Lee and Aaron have mentioned in the previous newsletters, mindfulness and presence are such an integral foundation for personal growth. They help us attune to what’s happening right now for us with non-judgemental awareness. Without presence or mindfulness, we just...
But how do I actually BE mindful and present?
Once we understand, as Lee explained to us last week (if you missed Lee’s email last week, I highly recommend you go back and read it, as I will use his definitions as a basis for my inquiry), that presence and mindfulness are paramount to well-being, the next...
Presence & Mindfulness
This month at COR we are focusing on the importance of Presence and Mindfulness. These two tools are simple and yet profoundly important. We often find ourselves worried, problem-solving (a.k.a playing ineffective “mental gymnastics”), spinning in regret and fear. And...
Want more self-compassion? Make it a daily practice!
At COR, the February theme has been Compassion and Forgiveness. Compassion really has three different aspects: giving compassion to others, receiving compassion from others and extending self-compassion. All three are equally essential, and one overflows to the...
Compassion, Forgiveness, and the Bully
It is an honor to have one of our facilitators, Steven Kimmelman, share his story with you about Compassion, Forgiveness and the Bully. Enjoy! "As I live each day, it's hard to imagine compassion and forgiveness, and their opposites, not being present. Whether I am...
Forgiving my father
It is February again! It's the month of Love and here at COR, we will focus on the qualities of compassion and forgiveness, two very important facets of any real love. Since nobody and nothing is ever perfect in this world (have you ever noticed that?), both of these...
Want a New Beginning with Your family?
As we are nearing the end of the month of January, with the theme of New Beginnings, Openness to Receive and Beginner’s Mind, here is an inspiring sharing from Steve Mock, one of our 2017 Leadership Development Training participants, about a new beginning with his...
Are you open to receive the gifts that don’t feel like a gift?
Since this month at COR is all about the pillars of new beginnings and opening to receive, I figured I’d dive head first into this topic in my own life as well. It’s definitely been quite the experience so far! So, last Monday, I began my morning meditation by saying...
A New Beginning with Money
Below is a written piece by Elisabeth Becker, one of our 2016 Leadership Development Training graduates, and a gifted grief coach. As January at COR is all about new beginnings, Elisabeth is sharing about having a new beginning around her finances: Hello dear COR...
Are you willing not to know? Let’s open to receive an actual New Beginning!
Last week I let you know about some of the new beginnings we are having here at COR, including the 12 Pillars of Transformation (If you missed that one, here it is) and the start of our “Getting to the Cor/e” Podcast, next week on Tuesday, Jan. 16th. The theme for the...
Starting 2018 with the 12 Pillars of the Transformational Journey
First of all - again– Happy New Year from all of us at COR! Here is a quote from medieval mystic Meister Eckhart to start us off: "And suddenly you know: It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings" We hope this wonderful quote will inspire you...
How about Reflecting on Your Life as Plan A and Resolving to Own it?
At the end of the year, we tend to reflect on what worked for us, and what didn’t, and then we turn that reflection into resolutions for the New Year. Yet, we all know that most resolutions don’t stick, and I think I know why. The conversation of resolutions is...
The Importance of Celebrating our Failures in 2017
Like Britta and Lee have mentioned in the previous weeks, it’s important to take time to reflect on the past year so you can powerfully complete the year and bring more intention into 2018. So once you’ve reviewed your year and acknowledged your accomplishments (like...
The Remarkable Value of Acknowledging our Successes
Last week Lee wrote about the importance and power of reflection as the year draws to an end. He mentioned how an essential part of creating a new beginning, of looking ahead and planning, is pausing to reflect on where we are and how we got here. So our theme for the...
The Importance and Power of Reflection
This past weekend we completed our final workshop of the year, the last module of the 2017 Leadership Development Training (LDT). Each year the LDT class focuses on the theme of New Beginnings. It was amazing! As their final project together, our trainees presented...
