Shhhh… The Meaning of Life Is Simple
I’ve spent the bulk of my adult life analyzing the world, what makes people tick, attempting to discover the whys and wherefores of life. Looking for the patterns in the chaos. I’ve gotten some incredible insights and understanding along the way. Yet, lately I’ve been questioning the questioning. Is all that analysis necessary?
I was out for a drive this morning and asked myself a couple questions:
What if spirituality is as simple as giving whatever doesn’t serve you to Jesus and letting it go...

Yummy Dill Chicken Salad
I’m a bit of a chicken salad connoisseur. If I’m eating lunch at a new restaurant and they have chicken salad on the menu, 9 times out of 10 I’ll order it. I guess I’m on a quest for the perfect chicken salad.
My all-time favorite chicken salad was at the Flying Star in Albuquerque, NM. It’s this yummy dill chicken salad that knocks it completely out of the park.
I’ve worked on my own chicken salad recipe and integrated the dill. It may not be as good as Flying Star, but this chicken salad is p...

Are You Suffering from the Savior Complex?
I’ve suffered from it, my clients seem to experience it, maybe you have too… it’s The Savior Complex. At first blush, you might say, “No way! I know who the Savior is and I’m not Him.” But take a moment to ask yourself these questions:
- When my children experience major setbacks, do I feel like a failure as a parent? Do I blame myself for their mistakes, emotionally flogging myself for long periods of time?
- When I see other people making mistakes, do I feel an intense need to help them fix t...

It takes confidence to make decisions, to trust your gut, to take some of the riskier leaps that life and business require.If your confidence is shot, you hesitate, miss windows of opportunity, and remain stuck in no-win situations.

Why Do You Do What You Do?
Most of us don’t realize it, but much of our lives are created by a series of beliefs we formed in our younger years. Something happens in our lives, and we create a rule about how the world works. That rule becomes a governing belief affecting choices moving forward.
For example, I grew up going to a private school where corporal punishment was practiced. It seemed to me that children were randomly paddled for seemingly-insignificant actions. I couldn’t discern the rhyme or reason to what le...

Are You Numbing Yourself?
As I walked through Walmart this morning, I thought for the umpteenth time what a sad state it is that the equivalent of alcoholic Kool-aide is sold like candy at the front of the store.
Is it just me, or is this a screaming statement about humanity’s inability to process their emotions. Are we finding so little joy in our lives? Are we so unhappy that we must constantly numb ourselves in one way or another?
As I’ve been consulting people on their weight issues, I’ve noticed a common reason tha...

Indecision Kills
I recently spoke with a retired Army officer about the analysis paralysis that plagues many creative entrepreneurs. You know what I mean . . .
- when you have so many business ideas you can’t choose one, so you do none of them, or
- you can’t figure out what to charge for that new product so you never release it, or
- you can’t decide whether you need to learn how to build your own WordPress site or outsource it, so you never get your site up.
When I told him that analysis paralysis kills creativ...

Any Decision Is Often Better Than No Decision
One of the biggest challenges I see entrepreneurs struggle with is analysis paralysis. Even the most seasoned entrepreneur can get caught in a decision trap, not knowing which way to go.
Obsessing over which path to take kills time and creativity and keeps you from making progress toward success. Most of my friends and colleagues know me as the woman who “gets things done fast,” but even I have struggled with bouts of indecision – where I have so many options I’m unsure which one to pursue. A...
