all about Scooch!

Hey, are you an e-reader?

Scooch! is now an e-book!

I'm e-lated! Order it, give it away, get an e-copy for yourself!

Scooch! contains so much of what happens between me and my clients and what I offer in my workshops and retreats, including​
  • the super-pragmatic how-to that makes any deep and lofty concept truly worth its salt
  • the stories (concepts in action by real-life gorgeously flawed totally inspiring human beings)
  • the humor (hey, I'm funny amidst all the soulfulness)

That I get to deliver so much to you through an affordable book kind of boggles the mind and just makes me happy happy happy!

​Scooch! offers a kinder, gentler process of personal growth and healing: point yourself roughly in the right direction and inch that way--no need to map out the whole journey. This spiritual, many-paths-friendly approach offers workable support in practicing presence and nonresistance; following inner guidance; and declaring a grand experiment to live in a friendly Universe.

A bit about each of the four parts follows:

part 1
​
​Scooch In Closer
​to Your Pain and Suffering

1. the pure relief of nonresistance
2. show up for what's actually happening
3. mind the pain body, tend the mind
4. (quit telling me to) breathe
5. managing pain by bringing it closer
6. good tears versus bad tears
7. getting out of overwhelm
8. get comfortable with your discomfort
9. why joy now?
​10. oh, the messy process of applying it all
Part 1, “Scooch In Closer to Your Pain and Suffering,” posits pain as no problem. It guides you to treat feelings and thoughts separately: mind the pain body, tend the mind (including through The Work of Byron Katie). What if you neither ran from pain nor perpetuated your own suffering? Detaching from particular timelines or outcomes, effectively scooch into just plain feeling better and into navigating by joy.
​
11. got self-love?
12. that crazy comparison thing
13. harness your power of interpretation
14. two liars: guilt and shame
15. ongoing self-forgiveness
16. application in the moment
17. healing meditation for meeting your past selves

part 2
​
​Scooch In Closer
​to Yourself
​

Part 2, “Scooch In Closer to Yourself” offers tips in minding your relationship with yourself with supreme self-honoring. Drop comparisons; replace guilt and shame with lavish self-forgiveness; harness your power of interpretation to hold a winning stance. Here's your ticket to the end of self-abandonment.
​

part 3
​
Scooch into Your Personal Power
​

18. the power to change
19. the power to be in good standing with yourself
20. the power of self-referral
21. tell the truth
22. never a victim
23. watch your language
24. make no one the villain
25. be the seer, not the seen
26. keep your word
27. yes or no: be someone who gives the right answer
28. eye-gazing, personality, possibility
29. power zappers
30. two scooching stories in losing and finding power

Part 3, “Scooch into Your Personal Power,” advocates not power-over, but the power to be your biggest, most beautiful self. Cultivate a consciousness of choice over victim mentality, using language to support this. Tell the truth, freely answer yes or no, practice self-referral instead of looking outward for validation. The power zappers--gems showing typical ways you dilute your power--come with practical instructions on kindly course-correcting toward a more powerful expression.

​31. loose-grip visioning basics
32. line it up: four things to align with your vision
33. accessing guidance in the moment
34. what's your weird gift?
35. the sprawling list
36. blueprints for your personal manifesto
​37. two scooching stories of visioning and creating

part 4
​
Your Power
​to Create: Scooch
from Vision
to Fruition
​

Picture


Part 4, “Your Power to Create: Scooch from Vision to Fruition,” turns such abused words as visioning, creating, and manifesting on their heads. This pragmatic, no-bullshit approach invites you to craft clear intentions and move toward them, while holding anything you want--any vision you've got--with a loose grip. As you move, trust open and shut doors equally, seeing both as guidance. Let life show you: the gifts may be in the journey, not the outcome. The gift may be in a redirection you couldn't have fathomed. Scooching into a friendly Universe means playing with trust that life will get you where you need to go.
