As I sit and reflect on my 55th birthday this week, it seemed fitting to share life lessons learned (and in some cases still learning) along the way. For those of you who may dread getting older, I want to say that at 55 and counting, life just keeps getting better. I have my health […]
Have you ever met a person that’s just not like the rest of us? People say things about them like; “That person is so dialed-in,” ”She is just awesome,” “He just gets me,” “I instantly connected with her,” “I would definitely do business with him”… the list goes on and on. What makes these people […]
I guess I could be defined as a health nut. I’ve been called “cra-cra” and a “freak” because of my workout schedule and eating habits. And I don’t have a problem with that. In fact, I wear it as a badge of honor. I live by a creed that I’ve been given this amazing opportunity […]
Last week, I did a bit of a tease. I reported that I read the most amazing book. One that as a self-help junkie stood out among the dozens I had read in the last year. Before I revealed mine, I did the classic, “show me yours and I’ll show you mine.” Some of you […]
I’ll admit it. I’m a self-help JUNKIE. It’s true. I’ve always been that way. Luckily for me, learning is an occupational benefit. The more I know, the better resource I can be to my clients. I’m reminded of one of my favorite quotes from Confucious, “He that would perfect his work must first sharpen his […]
I’ve been asked hundreds of times in the last year, why I moved to California. My short answer is usually, “I wanted a new adventure.” In fact, it’s my automatic response, much like when someone says, “How are you?” and the quick response is, “Fine.” There is usually much more under the surface. Besides a […]
Free at last! Free at last! For all of my adult life, I’ve had debt. I guess it’s the American way. This week, I paid off a car loan a few months early and became 100% debt free. It was a big goal since I had $39,312 in debt at the beginning of the year. […]
I have to admit, it’s a work in progress. It all began as I sat sobbing like a ‘bloody’ baby in a small hotel room in Taupo, New Zealand. It was a trip that profoundly changed my life. I had been in “Kiwi Land” all of four days, anxiously awaiting the countdown until I would […]
It happens to the best of us at one point or another. That nasty word none of us wants to speak out loud. Failure! Sometimes it stings so badly and drags us so far down that we feel as though there is a perpetual storm cloud over our heads. Then it happens; you find yourself […]
I get comments, more often than I expect, from people who say I have a “charmed” life. It always surprises me a bit, because I always thought of someone having a “charmed” life as somehow falling into it. Being born rich, beautiful or both comes to mind. And that ain’t me! When people say it […]
