In my monthly reflections, I share how the 4 qualities that inform my coaching and courses – arts-based, trauma-informed, reflective and meaning-focused – are showing up in my work and life.

This month: how my non-dominant hand writing & drawing project surprises me with the deepest joy I’ve felt in a long time. As part of my reflective group program, we’re looking for how people speak about meaning.

The question ‘Why bother?’ often indicates the loss of meaning. A meaning practice helps us notice meaning between the layers of life’s mundanity and repetitiveness, its highlights and special moments, in our grief and despair, as well as our joy and hope. This post explains how the six dimensions of meaning are reflected in my small group online program “Reflecting on Meaning’ and what you might learn about living and working meaningfully.

Should we love our work? And is this even possible? What if the idea of a perfect job is as unhelpful as searching for the perfect partner. Instead we could strive for meaningful work. Understanding your personal sources of meaning is a good place to start.
