Women BREAKING the Rules!

I have a crush on women who move beyond their circumstances, overcome great odds, old stories, stereotypes, ageism, cultural restraints and simply put BS – Belief Systems.

I touched a nerve!

Last month I posted a blog about the importance of being present in all we do. The importance of access, clarity, community, and accountability.

Schooled by a Six-Year-Old!

  This isn’t just some catchy title – it’s the TRUTH! I was, in fact, schooled by a six-year-old. Schooled on branding, and the importance of appearance. His nine-year-old older brother refers to it as representing! I consider myself self-aware. And up until the moment, I felt I had a pretty good…

I confess, I did do it!

Why, why, why do we forget that being a human means falling, and getting back up. And at times, it means picking out the bits of gravel we may have gathered in our fall from grace. It also means seeing the humor in the lesson, and sometimes being just plain goofy! Not…

Summer in parts of North America is 90 days. But what can you do in 90 days? YOU can impact every area of your life, relationship and business. Frequently, I’m asked how I manage to juggle all the balls in the air. I live a 90-day cycle and, at times, 180 days.…
