Step 1 in transformation The first step in transforming any area of our lives is to first be grateful for what we already have. If we are not grateful, we are almost certain to be in resistance, scarcity, or self-condemnation. These things push us in the wrong direction. They move us away from transformation and […]
With or without resentment
August 19, 2018 by Leave a Comment
With or Without Resentment Have you ever had a time and situation in your life where you were doing something but resented the fact that you had to do it? Perhaps you felt obligated or figured that nothing would happen if you didn’t make it happen. That resentment is extremely toxic, especially if this is […]
Under the influence

Under the Influence If we were to drink several shots of tequila, we would not have any choice about whether we were impacted or not. We would be under the influence. The same is true when we habitually tell ourselves lousy stories. We don’t have any choice about it, we will be negatively impacted by […]
Hope and the Way
June 1, 2015 by Leave a Comment
In many ways, I see the work that I do as restoring hope to people that things can indeed be different and then showing them the path to create this.

I received an email today in response to Monday’s “Pay It Forward” email. My friend shared how someone recently told her, “I usually give and give and I have decided that I can’t just keep helping people without getting something for me.” This made me think of Zig Ziglar’s famous saying, “You will get all you […]
Perspective ~ Really, It Can Be Changed
September 21, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I was with a group of people on Sunday who had attended an all-day training the day before. Everyone shared their big take-away. Every single big aha involved a change in perspective, a different way of looking at something, someone, or themselves. So often we think that our perspective (the one we stumbled […]
A Lighthouse With Curtains???
September 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Imagine a lighthouse with curtains. That wouldn’t really make very much sense. That light is meant to shine brightly, not be restricted by some curtains. Yet, I see this in people all the time – When we don’t embrace our own magnificence, when we don’t see our own value, when we ask, “who am […]
