Live Your Eulogy NOW!

I'm traveling this month (fueling my creativity and restoring my soul) and am taking the opportunity to repurpose and highlight some of my favorite posts. This one originally appeared at a beautiful website called, "Midlife Midwife Project." It was a thought-provoking piece for me to write and one that encompasses my belief that we are here on earth to live our lives fully and when we do that we are called to give back to others. One of the greatest compliments I can receive from any reader is that it made them think. I hope you both enjoy this piece and that it inspires you to think about your own story and ponder what you want to share with the world!

We Want to See You Be Brave!

I am traveling in Europe for six weeks. It's the longest time I've ever been away from home. Ever. I embarked on the first part of my journey alone. I've flown around the world and landed in Italy, the birthplace of the Renaissance. Art and architecture surround me. I stand in awe of it all. The art. The artists. Me. How brave we all are and were.

Before I left home, I was playing with my 'how does art reflect your work' series and one creator came to mind as I considered who I'd like to represent me as I embark on this grand journey. I chose the beautiful and talented Michelle Radomski.

Naked. Let your cape fly!

There is a brilliance that springs to life in the light creativity. It is a life force that cannot be held back. It is not unlike meeting a person for the first time and knowing that they are going to impact your life. It was like this when I met Jen Duchene. We originally encountered each other online and I was curious about her work as a success numerologist, but more significantly, I was drawn to her knowing smile and deep warmth. When we met in person this past January, Jen quickly became a friend, so I was delighted when she volunteered to answer my question: "What creation or masterpiece would you select to represent your business and why?"

Lucy or Charlie Brown? Tigger or Pooh? You get to choose.

Life can be really challenging, don’t you think? It seems to me like we’re always seeking balance and fighting labels. We’re either Eeyore or Tigger. Lucy or Charlie Brown. Happy or Sad. Brave or Bitchy. The truth is that it’s not really about either/or, but rather our lives are filled with both/and.

Remodel Musings aka What Color Will You Paint Your Life?

What will we write in these rooms? How will we create? What will we add or decide we no longer need? Taking it slowly. Adding a piece here and there and carefully placing art back on the walls. It feels like a fresh start. With new windows comes new vision. We have an open canvas.
