Live your difference!
[Sorry if this is a bit rough. I accidentally published it before I'd finished editing it. Still, I guess that's what the universe intended. cjc] “Nature never repeats herself, and the possibilities of one human soul will never be found in another.” — Elizabeth Cady Stanton The truth of Mrs Stanton’s words is self-evident. And [...]

Gifted adults and the importance of money
I admit it. I was channel flipping. Suddenly, there was Suze Orman, finger pointing toward me and head thrust forward like Uncle Sam or Lord Kitchener in one of those “Your Country Needs YOU” recruitment posters. “. . . and remember,” Suze was concluding, “People first! Then money! Then things!” That brief glimpse is all [...]

Gifted and exiled: acceptance benefits all
I’ve been struggling with my blog. Not for a lack of subjects, but rather for a lack of voice. I’ve been jumpy and unable to concentrate, constantly looking over my metaphorical shoulder to see if I’ve overlooked something more important and urgent than attending to these words. Yet I can’t see anything there beyond a [...]

Exercise and the gifted: creative benefits of making it fun
The treadmill’s a bore. The gym – sorry, fitness center – is ugly. The challenge of solving a complex creative problem is much more satisfying than spending time jogging.

The parable of the sower has particular relevance for gifted adults because it highlights the vital – as in genuinely life-maintaining – [...]

“I’m not gifted . . . I’m a woman!”
When I suggest to female friends or clients that they might be gifted they squirm, they get angry, they laugh it away. “Gifted? Moi? I don’t think so!” In itself this is not too much of a surprise. Many clients react to the realization of their giftedness in the same way I did: initial relief, [...]

Gifted child pre-occupation = gifted adult occupation
Who was I? This is a recurring question for gifted adults because the intensity of our childhood experiencing has a direct bearing on our adult gifted success. It also offers valuable clues to understanding those things that don’t work so well for us. In particular, the question: “What fascinated me when I was three years [...]

Protect your gift: neutralize the outer critic
As I prepared to write this post I offered up to Google the search term: “silencing the outer critic”. Google responded with a question: “Did you mean: silencing the inner critic?” This shows how pervasive is the influence of the pop-psych world. So I intend to redress the balance by talking about the original type [...]

“Dynamic Living™” replaced by “The Gifted Way”
To Dynamic Living™ subscribers and others who’ve sought information from me: welcome to “The Gifted Way”. “The Gifted Way” covers the same kinds of topics as “Dynamic Living”, but in a more spontaneous and light-hearted way. I suppose it’s actually more dynamic. Many of you discovered that the effort of creating a new ezine each [...]
