While meeting with a client last week who had recently taken a big leap in her life, she shared that she was feeling like she had just jumped off a river bank into the raging water. She said she knew it was necessary in order to get to her goal on the other side, but […]

After two of my amazing clients lost a considerable amount of weight last year on the Weight Watchers program, I was inspired to try it myself.  (Shout-out to Laura and Patricia!!!) So, in November, just before the holiday season, I committed to going all in and I did just that.  I’m proud to say that […]

This month marks five years since I began my life coaching business, and I have been spending time in gratitude and reflection about this during my morning walks. In some ways, it feels like a whirlwind and I can hardly believe five years have already passed. Yet in other ways, it seems like a lifetime […]

Many of us have grown up with messages like: Life is hard or Life is a struggle, and so we don’t even question the negative energy that this thought might create.

I love to look out to the horizon and then take in the scene from side-to-side while […]

My husband, Jerry, and I like to take leisurely walks on Sundays and explore different areas in nature. One evening last summer, we spent some time strolling the beach at Fairport Harbor, and then decided to go out onto the fishing pier for an expansive view of the sunset. As we climbed onto the pier, […]

I love the way the snow glistens in the sunlight when I take a walk on a crisp winter morning. This beautiful scenery combined with the sound of the waves hitting the shore and the birds chirping their morning songs fills me with a feeling of peace. Recently, on one particularly beautiful morning like this, […]

I did not grow up in the country and so when we moved to a rural area several years ago, I was often amazed by the sights and sounds of our new environment. The horses playing in the field across the street delighted me when I looked out my kitchen window. And the vast sky […]
