			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They&#8217;re not following the old rules at the Tour de France&#8230;a couple of times this week riders made some maneuvers or strategies that raised eyebrows.   Lance didn&#8217;t like someone not giving someone else the respect he was due.  </p>
<p>The world is changing; the energies are shifting; there&#8217;s a sense of instability.  Doesn&#8217;t it feel like we&#8217;re going to have to learn to do things differently?  Learn new ways to ride the changes through, new personal &#8220;rules&#8221; to help support us.<br />
And right now, I don&#8217;t think most of us yet know what the new rules will be.  So, at tleast our own personal rules should be ones that work for us.  </p>
<p>If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.  &#8211; Katharine Hepburn</p>
<p>Watch your language:<br />
It&#8217;s interesting to recognize that the language we can reflect our inner ties that bind&#8230;if you are using “have to,”  “can’t,” or “should,” be mindful of the origin of the belief you hold about the situation.  These three phrases indicate a sense of powerlessness.  We can look for new, more supportive perspectives.  Isn&#8217;t that great?  What a great opportunity!  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I first started my coaching training years ago, I was introduced to the work of <a href="http://www.coachville.com/home/index" target="_self">Thomas Leonard</a> (God bless him!).   One of the concepts struck me as being particularly powerful &#8211; that of cleaning up tolerations&#8230;those usually niggly little things that tend to take up lots of mental or emotional energy just because they haven&#8217;t been handled.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The definition of a “Toleration” is anything that you are putting up with. Tolerations distract our attention; eg. “I really need to fix that&#8230;” and siphon our energy.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Today I was presented with an opportunity to clean up something that was, in the grand scheme, not a huge deal, but in the short term was eating at me.  I&#8217;d not been completely honest about a situation and knew that if I kept silent, it would bite me down the road.  So despite the intense dread, I made a couple of phone calls, left barely coherent messages, got the return calls and set the record straight.  Not pleasant.  Will have to live with some repercussions, but feel a lot better and was actually commended for the courage it took to make the calls.  I&#8217;d like to think that this was such a great lesson that I&#8217;ll do better from now on, but as I keep growing and trying to clean my heart and soul to be a clearer reflection of the Divine, I imagine there&#8217;ll always be more and more subtle cleaning that takes place.  I hope I learn to love this!!</p>
