Making Space For What’s Possible #232 I recently stumbled upon a great list of what Letting go means (and doesn’t mean). Here it is: Letting go Does NOT mean: Does mean: I…
How Will You Surprise Yourself? #231 “May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams, and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful and don’t forget to make some art, write or draw, or build, or sing, or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next…
Well Beyond Superficial #230 Sometimes, you meet someone and there’s an instant connection. One you can’t explain fully, it’s deep and vulnerable and moves to a place that usually takes time and years of experiences to emerge into. I was going to pick up a gift for my husband Kevin and it happened. The acquaintance I’d only known superficially was…
New Beginnings of Many Kinds #229 This is the day my Mom died. It was nine years ago, and I still think about her every day. She was just one day away from peacefully passing on 1-1-11. There’s an indelible mark on our lives that day, she left us well before though her body hung on. For those beginning their…
What Will You Do Today? #228 Happy New Year! Is it a time of resolutions, new beginnings, possibility and the frenzy of getting back to work after the holiday break? Or is it something else.

Thank You, Tim Ferriss #227 Completion. It’s a factor we need to free our energy and move on. Without it, life can feel like an amalgamation of all things stuck and immobile.

More Ignorance Please #226 I was in a session with one of my favorite teams and a new team member shared a great quote I had to capture. He said, “Ignorance can be fixed, stupidity can’t.” I welcomed that phrase and laughed out loud. How many situations do we all create out of ignorance? Unintentional bumbling into waters in which…
Pause To Hear Your Answer #225 When you’re grounded in your life and centered in a way that you have perspective, even amongst busyness, commitments and challenges, they are just that – challenges. When you’re untethered in your life and you’re disrupted at a fundamental level, the smallest interruptions, curveballs, challenges (like traffic) seem like insurmountable events. Gratitude, Journaling, Sleep…
Curve Balls #224 Curveballs. They happen. It’s when the stuff you couldn’t imagine or wouldn’t know was coming shows up and interrupts the previously scheduled plans you’ve had. They happen in small ways every day. If you’re over-scheduled, there’s no room for them and they result in anxiety, stress and broken promises. There’s a simple fix for this one, schedule…
Counting My Blessings #223 For those celebrating Christmas and those who are not, many appreciate this time of year for religious celebrations, reflections of year-end, and a time of gratitude. As I appreciate those in my life, the blessing of time off before we launch into 2020, time with friends, incredible business greats, the health of those I love, the…
