You know the expression…it’s that overused one that drives you crazzzzy. Here it comes. “It is what it is.” It’s always said in a slightly-defeated-but-I’m-at-peace-with-everything kind of way…usually followed by a slow inhaaale and slower exhaaale. Every time I hear it the energy immediately drains from my body forming little pools around my feet, aRead More

Lessons from heart valve surgery I never expected
Life has a way of providing the lessons we need. That’s if we slow down long enough to hear the whispers and see the opportunities. For me it took finding out I needed heart valve surgery to put this lifelong Goer and Doer on pause, ready to learn and listen. The last 7 months, primarilyRead More
what not to do if you want a fulfilling life
Years ago I used to play a creative thinking game with my daughter. The idea was to switch from one point of view to another on a dime. Tricky. Great insights were always gained by looking at an issue from a different perspective. Today just for fun, instead of looking at what TO DO toRead More

“You need heart valve surgery.” “What??!!” Life is full of surprises and this was one I’d prefer to skip. I hadn’t expected to hear my lifelong prolapsed mitral valve now required surgery.

Find your comfort zone and then LEAVE
I thought I’d done the work …. a clean sweep of all my comfort zones a year ago. I was free, embracing NEW and living life unrestrained and Big! Whoooaaa…not so fast. It happened last week. My daily barre class was about to begin……music up….the conversation I was involved in wrapped quickly… I turned toRead More
Are you in a comfort zone or hideout?
Comfort zones are those familiar, habitual places we return to over and over. They masquerade as cozy routines and habits that seem…… well…innocuous. But considering we often lock the door and throw away the key when we get there you’ve got to wonder about them. While there are times in life when a comfort zoneRead More
How do you want to feel in Life Part 2?
Do you know how you want to feel in Life Part 2? Interesting question, I hadn’t thought of it quite that way. I probably wouldn’t have if I hadn’t picked up The Fire Starter Sessions by Danielle LaPorte. I love the fact that there’s always a new way to look at something…..a new door from which to viewRead More
