My client was going out with her husband to celebrate their anniversary. She picked a hat to wear with her outfit. She was so excited about this hat because she loved the way it looked on her. Then … She got worried. What if her husband didn’t like it? What if he thought she was […]
You want more LOVE
I know … you were taught differently about LOVE. To be worthy of love you were taught to: Have high standards for yourself. Excel. Achieve and finally be worthy of love.

Be direct don’t miss out on opportunities…
I am direct. I’ve learned to be clear. I ask for what I want. Last year I was at a swim meet (this is a frequent event in my life). A parent mentioned to me that her husband offered his office for the swimmers to use as a hang out during the break between trials […]
