It makes me sad to see you suffer from circumstances outside of your control. I recently spent two hours on FaceTime listening to and encouraging someone I care about deeply.
What makes such situations even more challenging is, when you face circumstances because of decisions you’ve made.
Feeling stuck is normal. And it’s easy to blame others. (more…)
HAPPY, happy New Year friends! I hope you’re looking forward to 2018!
The holiday season is almost over. Hopefully you’ve done more than put on a few pounds. 😉
It’s was a good time to catch up with family and friends. It’s also a great time to GET CLEAR about what is important to you in this coming year.

Audry Hepburn is quoted as saying “Nothing is impossible. The word itself says, ‘I’m possible.’” She may have a good point here.

From the time I heard his Greatness Guide Audiobook I’ve loved listen to the way Robin Sharma pulls together ideas and principles to live by.
I love these quotes and I look forward to his video as well.
That new job might not work out. That girl or guy may not like you back. For you that fear is so big and so real it is holding you back as if there were a wall in front of you.
The list is different for everyone. Doing something we’ve never done is one of the biggest things that most of us fear.
