The signs are there. Can you see them? When you’re present, it’s like entering the Matrix. Everything slows down. The pieces of the puzzle emerge and assemble themselves into a new, vibrant picture of what’s possible. The picture isn’t accessible without letting go of where you are. It means leaving what’s comfortable, predictable, and has served you to arrive at the next version of you. Success can be a learning disability. Don’t hang onto what you know, surrender…
When things get chaotic and seem to be out of control, disorganized, or out of sorts, it’s easy for overwhelm to be the result.

Without it, you will find reasons NOT to…
Three simple rules in life: When it seems things are chaotic and challenging, how can these three rules cut through the clutter and help you move forward a little or a lot? Will you slow down to examine your thinking and imagine what’s possible?

So why do so many people continue to overload their worlds with new commitments when the calendar changes each year, only to reinforce what doesn’t work? Let’s start with timing. The right time to set your resolution is the time that you’ll…
Happy New Year! For some, this season is full of resolutions, new beginnings, possibility, and the frenzy of getting back to work after the holiday break. For others, it’s something else entirely. For me, there were several years when the New Year was a time of grieving, somber moments, and reflection. It was winter inside and out. It was challenging…
