Discover Your Life’s Purpose in 20 minutes

  I came across this exercise a while back and tried it.  It worked for me, in a big picture sense, and I was shocked.  You should try it!  At the very least it’s a good exercise in gaining some insight into what you really want. Oh & I would LOVE to hear about your […]

Somebody’s got a Case of the Mondays

How was your Monday? It’s that dreaded day of the week for many.  When my business used to be my sole form of work (before adding two jobs to make ends meet, more recently) I never really didn’t fear Monday.  I looked forward to starting the week fresh and making progress on new projects, talking with […]

Change your mind

When I was in my early twenties a friend started a spark in my brain that changed my perspective on what was possible.  At the time I was married to the wrong person, had two small children and we weren’t even really making ends meet.  I had to go to the local food bank to […]

Space to be

It’s a busy life, but I try to carve out a little time each week for just me and a little open space.  Whether its a park or a nature preserve I need a little time to myself.  This is so essential to me.  When I don’t get it I start to wind up tightly. […]

Your problem is…

I have to be honest.  I don’t feel much like writing tonight.  I’ve worked a lot this week already and slept less than I’d care to admit.  But ironically enough my tired brain thought perhaps an Ann Lamott quote would be good, maybe one about writing.  So I started looking through my copy of Bird […]

Carry On

In a little bit harder times (a few months ago) I cried when I first heard this song.  I hope it encourages you to, well, carry on. 🙂

Our Deepest Fear

Have you ever watched someone struggle with negativity and want to give up on their dreams?  You listen to their tirade of despair and you wish you could just infuse them with the confidence to pick themselves up and start all over again.  You wish that you could let them see themselves as you see them.  Maybe […]
