You edit your story

Posted on May 17, 2022

A friend of mine was so excited. She had a big dream to travel. This was one of those bucket list trips. One that a few years ago was not something she even believed was possible for her. This trip was far from her reality. Until now. She was sitting in this breathtaking place and […]

Writing your next chapter

Posted on April 5, 2022

I have a long held belief … there has got to be a better way. I hated the movie As Good as it Gets with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. I believe in being a deliberate creator in our life. I believe in possibilities for all of us. Not just those who have had great […]

Do you believe in YOU?

Posted on January 4, 2022

Believing in YOU is vulnerable. There’s a ton of risk …. what will others think??? We’ve been programmed to not be “too much.” My friend … believing in yourself is not being too much. Think about all those little toddlers who believe in themselves.  We adore them. They believe in their ability to crawl, to […]

How to become the next version of YOU

Posted on November 23, 2021

We are always a work in progress. One of the big lies we’ve been told is “one day – out there – we will arrive.” Then, when that someday arrives, we will finally be good enough and can rest. HA! You must practice becoming the next version of yourself and also rest.  Hence, why you […]

I grew up poor

Posted on November 16, 2021

I grew up poor.  I thought having “the things I was supposed to have” would allow me to finally be worthy of love + belonging.  This was unfortunately my thinking at the ripe old age of 10 years old. Wow! Back in the 1980s, Minnetonka Moccasin shoes were a must have item for girls. I […]

Confidence is an inside job

Posted on October 26, 2021

Intellectually, you understand it’s important for you to take care of yourself … but you still find yourself prioritizing pleasing other people over your own needs (I call this “approval whoring”). You want to be your own best friend … but you spend a lot of time criticizing and hating yourself. You want to be […]

30% = Success???

Posted on September 21, 2021

Baseball has great lessons for life, even if you’re like me and not a baseball fan. While I never watch baseball on television, on occasion I’ll go with my lifelong Giants fan husband to a game. Even though I don’t love baseball, I love to read lots of baseball books. There are so many good […]

You want the beauty without the mess

Posted on September 7, 2021

The “beauty” is your version of the good life. It’s all those dreams you’ve had for yourself. You believe the pathway is a nice straight line, without any mess. I have an unfortunate truth for you my friend. To get to the beauty in your life…you’ll have to go through life’s mess. There will be […]

Don’t let obstacles stop you.

Posted on August 31, 2021

I used to think an obstacle meant “this is not possible for me.” Obstacles used to be my dream killers. Now I realize obstacles are something to overcome. Obstacles are the pathway to achieving what my heart desires. As I solve each obstacle I learn, grow, become resilient + move towards my goal. However, this […]

Trusting yourself

Posted on July 20, 2021

Do you second guess yourself? Do you not tell others what you think, because you are afraid you are wrong, silly, or even stupid? Are you willing to no longer tolerate this behavior? Are you ready to be YOU? What’s the relationship you want to have with yourself? You realize your lack of self-trust is […]
