Everybody Needs a Great Beastie Behind them!
Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011
Many of you know I took a sabbatical from my job as a physician. In the end, I decided to dedicate myself to full time writing, speaking and coaching. That big LEAP did not happen without some major magic. Much of the magic that helped me along my path was Nature related and I share how you can tap into that MAGIC in my new book, What the Walrus Knows: An Eccentric’s Field Guide to Working WIth Beastie Energies. You do not have to be a Shaman living in the Amazon basin to do this work- it is for everybody and it is a delightful way to FEEL GOOD, understand your loved ones in a more playful way and to experience more JOY! There are animals showing up for you daily to share messages with you. All you have to do is listen:)
The book is beautiful inside and out and has a dictionary at the back of 50 different Beasties and how best to align with their energies to help yourself feel GOOD
I would be thrilled if you buy it!
If you love it- please share it on facebook, tweet it, bring a copy to a ladies night- whatever FEELS GOOD. My dream is that this book will delight and ignite every human who comes into contact with it! ~Sarah

What is your philosophy?
Tuesday, November 1st, 2011
“How does this work serve the world? To whatever extent it contributes healing of some form to society, to that extent the project is blessed.”–Marianne Williamson (and Kitchee Gammi Design Company business philosophy)
I was recently asked to submit a proposal for a project. The person on the other end of the phone was rattling off the various requirements for the proposal… when she asked for a description of my business philosophy. What a great question! I loved the fact that she was INTERESTED in how I DO my work. Not in if I have a fax machine or where my office was but what I believed in.
I used to have a philosophy called “I HAVE NO CHOICE.” As you can imagine, someone who subscribes to this mindset is generally resentful, unwilling to say NO, and rarely happy in their job. In fact I almost quit the design business at one point because as a result of not valuing myself and my work enough, I had attracted some business that can be described difficult at best.
I learned that in order to love my job again, I needed to value myself. That meant coming up with a job description for the one and only employee of Kitchee Gammi Design Co. (me.) I had to redefine my philosophy about how I wanted to continue in the design business. Today I’m happy to say that I’m developing the confidence to take the right projects, and turn down the things that don’t fit my new vision for myself. Any project that asks me for my business philosophy appears to be on track for one I’m interested in.
What’s your philosophy… on how you work and play? About what you’re willing to accept or dream for yourself? Is it time for you to write a new job description for yourself?
