I created my website six years ago. True to some perfectionist tendencies, I come up with a “better” idea once the design is done. It’s been through something like four complete changes; at some point, I have to say ENOUGH! and just do the thing. All...

I was talking to a friend recently who was feeling overwhelmed with anxiety and worry. When we picked her anxiety apart and looked at how much of the time she was focused on the future and the past, she realized, hey, all my negative thoughts and feelings came from...

So here we are in the middle of January. By now lots of new year resolutions lie about like roadkill. I hear you way over here, kindred spirit. I might be the Goddess of Dead Resolutions. Let’s use a better strategy. Instead of intentions promising to do, or...

This revelation hit me like a ton of bricks when it happened. I remember it so clearly; it was right after Christmas 2000. My father had given me a CD by Andrea Bocelli, “Romanza.” My dad had come to the U.S. to sing opera, so he greeted any interest I...

I recently discovered this physicist – Nassim Haramein. Of course, he’s incredibly intelligent, but also funny AF. He explains concepts without much math (which is lost on me). If he’s not a professor, he should be. Now, I respect everyone’s...

Just taking a break from working at the moment. I got to thinking: if I had my time all over again, what would I do differently, to share with my people to inspire you? I would have listened to my heart. The most important thing I know now? That the things you loved...

We all have a to-do list, but how about a stop-doing list? Is there something you do out of habit that doesn’t really serve your goals anymore? Life changed dramatically for me when I learned of SARK’s concept of micromovements: “A micromovement is a...

Do you have a dream sitting on the shelf getting dustier by the day? I did. For the past four years, I dreamed of launching an online teaching platform that would guide women past blockages in their life. But…I realized that dreaming wasn’t going to get me where...

On the day I left my 9 to 5, it was 1996 – the era of the Gray Cubicle. My firing was fortuitous since by then my job had become intolerable. I experienced a bunch of different promotions in the sixteen years I worked at this insurance company. File clerk,...
