Day 8: From the sea to the plate
If you were to tell me a year ago that at some time in the future I would be enjoying fresh fish regularly, I would have told you that you were crazy. I’m really finicky about fish and so don’t eat it that often. Then I start dating a freediver and spearfisherman. My freezer is […]

Day 7: Digging deep for celebration
Yesterday I was primarily focused on meeting a deadline for a client. So I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at my desk. Not much room for celebration, eh? But this is the day that marks one week … I can’t falter now. So I dug deep to find the celebration in a day of intense […]

Day 6: Simple pleasures are the best
Yesterday was chore day. I did the laundry. I went to the bank, to the post office and to the store. Yesterday was also a day of simple pleasures. While I folded the laundry, I watched The Water Horse, a tale of Nessy, the Loch Ness monster. It was sweet and touching and, at moments, […]

Power Thought: A definition of courage
Today’s Power Thought is not inspired by a quote, per se … but an answer to a question that was posed during a 30-day Bravery Challenge I’m participating in this month from my friend Cindy Ashton. Last Friday, she asked us to define what courage meant to us. This was my response: “My definition of […]

Day 5: Getting stuff done
I’m working toward a goal in Toastmasters that is going to take me a year to accomplish: I’m going for my Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) Award. To get that award, I need to get two others: Advanced Communicator Gold (ACG) and Advanced Leader Silver (ALS). Yesterday, two things happened that moved me closer toward my ALS […]

Day 4: Staying true to my priorities
Yesterday, I celebrated myself by staying true to my priorities. My boyfriend and I attended a timeshare presentation so we could get a free mini-vacation. I had no intention of buying a timeshare … I had one before and, although I plan to own one (or more) again, I just didn’t feel it was a […]

Day 3: My first B-Day gift to myself
For the past couple of years I’ve been carting my iPad around in a laptop sleeve … way to big for it. But I got it for free and didn’t think much beyond that. A few weeks ago, my boyfriend went on a trip and I gave him the laptop sleeve so his computer would […]

Day 2: A challenge overcome with very good results
Yesterday’s celebration was a surprise response to a proposal I half expected to get turned down. A few weeks ago, I shared with you a challenge I was experiencing around doing book signings with my latest book 57 Secrets for Branding Yourself Online. I’m using promotions of the book to help me raise $8,500 to […]

Day 1: Sometimes it is the simple pleasures
Last year, I went whale watching on Aug. 1 and a mama whale came withing 10 feet of the boat. It was a great way to start of my “Celebrate You!” exercise. This year, I was not so lucky. Yesterday was pretty much about getting work done and starting some pest control. I spent the [...]

Inspired 2 Life Photo Gallery
On July 25, I was one of three guest speakers at Susan Cameron’s inaugural event for A List Professional Speakers. The event was held at the Royal Cup Cafe in Long Beach. I’m still working on video from the event … there was a fan above the camera and the sound is terrible … but [...]
