Talk About It Tuesday – Breaking the Rules!
Do you break the rules? I’m not referring to the rules that are useful (and life-saving!) when they protect our safety. Traffic lights, for instance, are important to obey. I’m talking about life rules we ponder, question, and really need to break. These are the rules that aren’t so obvious. Sometimes these rules are assumptions […]
Happy Fri-YAY – Simple Pleasures!
Since kindergarten, many people have been conditioned to think of summer as a break from routine and responsibility. And this “schools out” mindset even carries over into adulthood. Even though the work world operates year-round and responsibilities don’t suddenly cease, we reflexively feel more carefree during the summer months, like we did when we were […]
Think About It Thursday – Choices!
I listened to an incredible video by Bob Proctor the other day and he said: “You may not be responsible for who you are, but you are responsible to change it!” For me, this statement hit me hard and made me realize how powerful our choices are. Yet, how many times do we not always […]
Positive Wednesday – Birthday!
Today, on my birthday, I awoke to my iPhone notifying me of all the birthday postings on my Facebook wall. As I went through my morning routine I scrolled through the numerous birthday wishes, and it was a pleasure to see so many people wish me a happy birthday. It filled my heart with such […]

Happy Fri-YAY – Dress for Success!
As an entrepreneur who works from home, I’ve had many people say that I’m really lucky because I could work in my pajamas if I wanted. Yet, I actually don’t. For me, I’ve discovered the way I dress is a catalyst for a shift in mindset. Meaning, there is a certain energy that comes from […]
Think About It Thursday – Self-Care
Throughout life, we’re taught to extend love outwards—to be kind to others, to share, to shower others with compassion, empathy, and generosity. Yet, when it comes to directing all those gifts to yourself, it often feels less natural. Yet, here’s the thing…by practicing self-care, and learning to extend love toward yourself, you begin to cultivate […]
Positive Story Wednesday – The Starfish
One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t […]
Talk About It Tuesday – Do you fear change?
Do you fear change? I’ve recently made a huge career change and I’m not going to lie…I was a little scared. You see, for most of us the thought of making a life change can be so intimidating that even though we want to be the master of our own destiny we’ll end up doing […]
Motivational Monday – How do you speak to people you love?
How do you speak to the people you love? I’m guessing you speak to your family and friends from a place of kindness and love. Yet, how do you speak to yourself? By that, I mean, what is the tone of your inner dialogue: the conversations we have with ourselves in the privacy of our […]
