Amazing Life Tip

When you get super specific about what you want, life will bring it to you. When it arrives, you may decide it isn’t really what you want/need after all. That’s okay, be open to tweaking. Use this opportunity to learn about yourself and better identifying what you truly want at a base-needs level.

In my experience what we’re looking for is more the meeting of an emotional need. It’s an experience, rather than a checklist of items or characteristics. Identifying core needs and desired feelings...

In SLC? Need Help with Your Book, Niche or Marketing?

The Quest for a Soul Mate

In May of 2013, I gathered a group of friends at Serenbe Farms, just south of Atlanta, for a retreat. At that point in my personal life I had just told my then-husband I wanted a divorce, but we were still living in the same house. The papers had not been filed. My friends were a great source of strength to me. Being with them was a priceless gift.

While at Serenbe, we all walked the labyrinth together, and something unusual happened for me that day.

I’ve walked a labyrinth before. I know that...

Are you sabotaging your own efforts?

Guest Post from Sheryl Siler

Are your core values sabotaging your own efforts?

It’s kind of an interesting question? Do you shout an automatic, “Of course not?” Or are you questioning it? Are you wondering what a core value is?

I feel as if in asking this question to you that I am somehow paying it forward. I had participated in a workshop and within it I did an exercise that really made me think about and write down those things that were important to me. Not just the surface but way down to th...

Want to Be an Influence For Good? Here’s How…

What do you believe so strongly that it ripples through your life and business?

I believe we succeed best in creating a rippling impact for good when we’re fully connected to Christ. When His light/love is radiating through you, you’re like a conduit. You become very attractive and people are drawn to you. If you’re clear about who you are, who you serve, and what you do, you can have an amazing impact for good on the planet. Practically speaking, marketing and visibility becomes simpler as we...

Seasons of Solitude

My mother had me taking piano lessons when I was 5 and I kept going until I turned 17 and broke my arm in a car wreck. In all that time, I never played anything but what was written on the page. In fact, if I misplayed a single note, my piano teacher would correct me.

Perhaps her voice in my head, telling me to play it exactly as it was written, was part of the reason I never cut lose and tried to create anything on my own. I knew I didn’t have much of an ear and didn’t believe I had the creat...

Best Field Trip Ever

I love what my friend Eileen Voyles is doing to build future entrepreneurs of America at Hungry Howie’s Pizza in Chattanooga, Tennessee. She’s offering “future business owner” field trips to local schools. This was so well planned and inspiring. You really need to check into it for your child’s school if you live in the Chattanooga / Northwest Georgia area.

Eileen had this video made from the footage she asked me to take last week. It’s so fun to see it all brought together here!

Way to go Eil...

How’s Money Treating You?

Everything in life is about relationships. What type of relationship do you have with money? If money were a person, how would s/he be treating you? What kind of characteristics would it have? For those struggling with money, this might be how they’d describe their “Money Person”:

Stingy

Unreliable

Inconsistent

Likes to make me wait

Goes where it wants and not where I want it to.

Likes to make me suffer

Is stopped up

Disconnected

Fleeting

Disrespects me

Doesn’t value me

Doesn’t believe in me

Lets me down

Chocolate Strawberry Snack

Here’s one of my favorite snacks to eat when my sweet tooth gets going. It’s delicious, nutritious and doesn’t stack on the pounds (unless you eat mounds of it).

3-4 large fresh strawberries (diced)

1 TBSP dark chocolate chips or some other diced dark chocolate

Mix and eat.

Eating healthy and finding your ideal weight doesn’t have to be a white-knuckled nightmare. Shift your thinking and energy around achieving your ideal weight, add in some simple lifestyle changes and you can be looking and fee...

Make Eating Healthier Easy on Yourself

Are you like I was? In the past I was bad about grabbing a snack or a handful of chocolate chips with peanut butter when I was busy throughout the day. Not the best way to keep your girlish figure or rediscover it if it’s gone!

Here’s a fast, healthy alternative I like to use now…

Quick and Easy Healthy Taco Salad

I buy those plastic containers of salad at SAMS, Costco or the grocery store. They tend to keep better than the plastic bags. Then one night while I’m cooking dinner, I’ll fry some ex...
