SwaffWords© 5/10: "Keeping Score" and "A Knack"—plus— a little something extra

"Keeping Score" & "A Knack"—plus…

Hello—

…and welcome to all new subscribers. It's good to have you here with us.

Today marks the eve of the Mother's Day weekend here in the US, Australia and Canada. I felt it was a good time to remind all of us that there are different kinds of mothering—not just having and raising children. I've often felt that definition was too limiting and excluded too any kinds of other nurturing that we can both offer to and receive from one another. So as we move through this weekend, I invite all of us to be aware of all the different kinds of mothering in our lives. May we all be surrounded by that lovely energy—regardless of the source.

For this week's videos, I looked at a pattern that can be all too prevalent in relationships and I offered a reframe with a bit of wordplay.

"Keeping Score" (2:46)—Are there people in your life who "keep score"? like a running bar tab that you can never really reconcile? Here are some thoughts on how to deal with that pattern. (YouTube Link or Facebook Link)

"A Knack" (2:23)—People often have a knack for something. This offers a play on words that can help you in moments where those around you are being mindless. (YouTube Link or Facebook Link)

Please comment and share your insights with us on either or both videos.

Archives of all SwaffWords© videos ( around 150 of them ) are on both my YouTube Channel and in my Facebook Video Library. As you wander through either site, click on a video that speaks to you for a quick teaching from me and a reminder to listen more deeply with your Bodymind.

And here's the "plus" I referred to above. Earlier this week I had the chance to have a conversation with Mindy Totten, a long time colleague who specializes in helping Bodyworkers create a thriving business. Here are three sections of our chat you might find interesting:

@:53—My journey to the Healing Arts

@6:58—How I do the work I do

@9:30—The people I work with

Yes—Please join my Bodymind Listening community on Facebook, where you'll find my "straight, no chaser" prompts and reminders to support you in your ongoing practice.

Rapid Bodymind Clarity (thanks again, Rita Lascaro for the terrific redesign) reflects my approach and how we might work together.

Or, feel free to contact me directly so we can start a conversation.

Thanks much.

Until next time—
