The change a question (or two) makes: One Thing Better with Carolyn Cohen
One Thing Better is a weekly series featuring someone I admire — in this case someone I admire immensely — in a one-question interview format.
It’s a simple premise. Each week someone answers The Question.
Here’s how I first heard about Carolyn Cohen. My lover woman wife partner Ann had recently joined a friend for a monthly women’s spiritual night out. It was a small group that met at Carolyn’s home.
After a meeting or three, Ann came home and trilled:
“You’ve got to meet Carolyn! She’s the happiest woman alive.”
Over the years she has become a dear friend. Carolyn and Mike meet with Ann and I every six weeks to amplify our visions for our lives, while setting a single overriding goal for the next six weeks.

The Question:
What one thing have you been doing recently that’s making your life better?
Carolyn Cohen:
I recently started asking upon rising this question …God where can I make a difference in my life today?
I end my day with this question … And where did I make a difference in my life today?
This statement alone has allowed me to be truly present during the day. I am more mindful of my conversations, my actions … which allows me to hear my inner voice say …
… Your words just touched that person’s heart …
… Your words allow that person to feel safe …
… Your words allow this person to feel understood and not alone …
Hearing the small voice within brings such inner peace and puts a smile back into my own heart….;o) —
How much better can it get~
