One of the things I enjoy the most about being an entrepreneur is the seemingly magical ability to create a career that I love. After decades of working for others, always learning & growing, testing & changing, and leaping faithfully into new ventures of my own, as a Life Coach I am grateful to be rooted in work that supports me financially & emotionally, beautifully uses all of my gifts, talents, & experiences, and fits perfectly into my schedule. I get to write, create, talk, share, teach, travel, learn, encourage, inspire, and empower. I get to try and fail and…

Like the very best teachers, Life is always offering us valuable lessons, whether or not we are consciously and intentionally asking for them. We simply agree to show up, and there they are: life lessons designed to grow us, mold us, shape us, challenge us, better us, perfect us, and (yes, absolutely!) bless us. Oh, sure- oftentimes these Life Lessons may at first look/feel annoying or uncomfortable or inconvenient or downright unpleasant, but don’t let that stop you from really examining what is being offered to you, what’s on the other side of it. Is it patience? Is it forgiveness?…

Sometimes, people disappoint you. Sometimes, you disappoint other people- or even Yourself. An important key to healing is to allow the uncomfortable feelings, and learn the lessons that are presented in the situation without falling down into a pit of negativity. Instead of choosing blame or shame, try choosing to see one thing that you can be grateful for- one positive lesson that you can take away and build on for the next time. Today’s #MondayMantra is a positive mindset shift for when you are facing disappointment. Mantra: “Even when I am disappointed, I can be grateful for the lessons…

I took this photo of a fun directional sign on my trip to Norway earlier this year just because I thought it looked cool. 😎 Today I get to use it as the backdrop for my #mondaymantra and am struck by how TRUE this powerful affirmation is: Mantra: “I have come a long way, and I am not done yet. I keep learning, I keep growing, I am stronger every day!” Sometimes we all need to lovingly remind ourselves of how far we have come, just so we can celebrate where we are starting from TODAY. You can do hard…

This past week has been a tough one for so many people. Whether you are reeling from the global terrors being inflicted on the innocent, or struggling with interpersonal challenges, office politics, or facing your own demons- it seems like everyone I know has been feeling overwhelmed this week in one way or another. Me too. I’m sometimes called The Positivity Queen, but even I struggle with my glittering crown from time to time. I’m tender and vulnerable, I get tired, and I sometimes really just want to camp out on my couch with my cat, a bowl of chips…

Today’s Monday Mantra is a little different and has more of a teaching element to it than what I typically share. I hope it is helpful to you! This weekend I had a few encounters with Anger, and it was not too pretty. I think it is fair to say that I have always had a low tolerance for bullshit and a strong sense of justice, so whenever something or someone violates my perceived code of Right vs. Wrong, I feel intensely activated. This has not always served me well in the heat of the moment, but it sure has…

Being a mindset coach can seem like a frivolous and fluffy profession; a joke, a sham, a hoax. Kind of like when I tell people that I’m a writer and they respond incredulously with, “You can make a living doing that?” After the stinging slap to my face has dissipated, I smile and say as sweetly as I can muster, “Yes, and I am grateful for the opportunity to use my gifts in this way.” But it isn’t easy. The lessons I am learning about myself and the battles I continue to face in struggling with my own inner critic,…

Bags packed, checked in, cleared security, and got a front row seat to watch our ride pull in to the gate. Traveling the world has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I drink up each and every experience. I love it! There is always another place to explore, a new horizon to expand. Today I’m setting off for a new adventure- Norway! Whaaaat?! Live the Life You Love! Explore & Expand, Embrace & Enrich… DO the things that excite you, that fulfill you, that scare you, that challenge you. Oh, and about that Big, Scary Dream that you are…
