“What if it doesn’t work out?” That’s what my client, Rachel, asked while discussing a business idea she had been contemplating for the past few months. “And what if it’s wildly successful?” I offered her back. In the book, “She Means Business”, the author, Carrie Green, says the words “what” and “if” put together are […]

“It’s been a doozy of a year!” I’ve announced this many, many times since the confetti fell on New Year’s Eve and 2020 rolled in.  And, I’ve listed all the unfortunate things that have happened in my life in the past eight months as I’ve told my sad story. It goes something like this… My […]

Two summers ago, my husband, Jerry and I decided to take ballroom dance lessons.  I was surprised that Jerry liked the idea when friends suggested it, and so I was game! Up until that point, our dances together involved shifting our feet back and forth and an occasional spin.  This is the best description I […]

I was feeling a little frustrated this morning as I stopped at my favorite spot at the bluffs where the lake view is always spectacular.  I love to quiet my mind in this spot and just listen to the waves hit the shore with the sounds of the birds singing in the distance. But, on […]

I just wasn’t myself this morning as I took my walk at the bluffs by the lakeshore. Well actually, I was myself, just not my present-day self. You see, this morning I decided to have some fun and imagine being my future-self as I strolled in her fabulous shoes along the path by the lake. […]

“Sometimes I can’t even hear myself think.” That’s what my new client said to me during her consultation session.  She is a hard-working business owner with lots of responsibilities that keep her on the go. I told her what I am going to say to you now, it is imperative that we CREATE time to […]

It happens every year, yet I’m always surprised.  And this year was no exception. The morning was cool last Friday, but it was a bright, sunny day.  If I were to describe perfect weather conditions, this would be it. That morning, as I made my way through the wooded part of my walk and got […]

This is a lot. There are some VERY heavy things happening in the world today, and if you’re like me, it may feel like a lot to process. I spaced out some extra time in-between my newsletters this week because I needed to find some clarity.  I needed some time to listen, deeply. I needed […]

I received a text message yesterday morning from one of my former clients, Laura, that said, “Thought of you when I saw this!”  It was a meme that read… In a society that has you counting money, pounds, calories, and steps, be a rebel and count your blessings instead. I was taking a walk when […]
