A NOTE FROM CHRISTINA

Christina Merkley — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 17:05:07 +0000

I meant to get a spring eZine out, and alas, time got the better of me. I’m just having to let go and let God on my communications, like I’m increasingly being with soooooo many things nowadays. A bit challenging for a recovering strategic planner with an uptight Doer … but such is life on... Read more »

A NOTE FROM CHRISTINA

Hello from the west coast of Canada in rainy March. No real snow this winter; however, the rain is stubbornly consistent, as is customary for a temperate rain forest this time of year. When I go for walks, it’s dramatic, even gothic. Dripping in moody moss and stark sculptural branches. Atmospheric like the British novels... Read more »

It’s been a busy time. Anneke Lucas and I, with an amazing international cohort, just wrapped a 10-Week Processing Group. We worked right through the holidays, even on Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Offering community to Survivors through a period of time that is traditionally difficult. Tomorrow, we move into our Level 2 of Shifting... Read more »

A nice respite. Enjoying the West Coast summer. Cheers! I celebrated my moon child birthday. I am conveniently bad with time, so they are amorphously blending into one another nowadays. My friends, even the doggedly left-brain ones, know not to remind me which one I’m on! I had a lovely time in Parksville on Vancouver... Read more »

Sliding into summer in the Pacific Northwest. Our backyard bank of St. John’s wort has erupted into a sea of yellow. Watching the first bloom emerge, then the winnowing down to the last. Such a wave of exuberant beauty that I delight in each year! The so-called little things in life that summon immense pleasure.... Read more »

Oh my. These are intense and shifting times, are they not?! As The SHIFT-IT Coach, I continue to shift too. In my personal life, I continue to support my parents to age in place. For privacy reasons, I won’t go into details, but suffice to say, this context adds a bittersweet component. One of the... Read more »

OH MY – A FIRING AND A CARJACKING. DEEP INNER WORK IN THIS WEEK’S PROCESS POPUP.

Christina Merkley — Sun, 11 Oct 2020 20:31:19 +0000

Process Group #21A & 21 B – 2020 Shifts (October 7, 2020 – Visual Coaching). I GOT FIRED YESTERDAY – Process PopUp 21A Wendi is reeling from being fired yesterday. From a spiritual, community-based not-for-profit. Understandably angry given lack of warning or proper closing. She and her co-workers were callously called ‘dandelions spread to the... Read more »

FLIP IT: OUTER VS INNER PRODUCTIVITY

Christina Merkley — Fri, 17 Apr 2020 13:00:05 +0000

[Visual Coaching with Christina Merkley – COVID Pandemic #6]. Dorothy’s partner (visual skills student of mine) referred her. So glad she did as I personally found this session extraordinary given the spiritual/soul perspective on leadership, identity, status, aging and mobility issues. Poignant example of struggle between what our personality values versus what our soul does.... Read more »
