Who Influences Your Decisions?
In today’s “article” I discuss the 3rd aspect of the Inner Voice: Influence. See how the voices in your head, and the voices coming out of other people’s mouths influence your decisions and success. You’ll learn how you can stay positive when others are trying to bring you down and how that dynamic happens in […]
Are you the doormat on the doorstep of your dream?
I was a doormat. There. I said it. Out loud. I was sitting on the doorstep of my dream, flattened by fear and letting the little voices of doubt, shame, guilt, fear, criticism, and judgement keep me from reaching up, turning the handle on the door of my dream, and opening the door to see […]
Scared Blind
I had the stye from hell. It was so big and annoying. It wouldn’t go away. I had it for a whole month and now it’s finally diminished enough to say it’s healed up. My eyelid was so swollen I could hardly see for a couple days. The eye doctor said I might have to […]
Freedom Is A Practice Not A Right
We on this continent should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs but to secure liberty for their souls. ~Robert J. McCracken First, I want to say I am eternally grateful for the men and women who left behind all they knew and took risks, even sacrificed […]
Integrity: It’s a Choice, And That Sucks
Don’t you just wish people would stand by their word? Personally, I’d like to believe it’s just a given, and as certain as night follows day, people will act in integrity all the time across all situations. Unfortunately that’s just not the case. Maybe those people who don’t stand by their word are folks closest […]
Pick A Horse And Ride It
Passionate Choices Lead To Potent Consequences* I had an uneasy realization this past weekend. I’ve been addicted to the Aha’s. The breakthroughs, the process, the dramatic realizations and discovery of personal truth. There’s nothing wrong with those things in general, in fact they are awesome and totally part of the journey. But I found myself […]
Retreat & Retrieve
I’m writing this week’s article from 35,000 feet on my way to Minneapolis for a retreat with my coach and mastermind group. Retreats are interesting for me because I almost always have some “breakdown” occur before, during or afterwards that ultimately allows me to propel forward. These breakdowns are really just me fighting letting go […]
13 Tips For Thru-Hiking Your Business
The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and Appalachian Trail (AT) are getting more well-known with the number of people hiking them and writing books about their experience. I have to say, I find it annoying. For a couple reasons: My boyfriend, Mike, and I hiked the PCT in 2001, we spent 4 months thru-hiking it from […]
What is it costing you to be virtuous?
Do you like to be thought of as patient, tolerant, and willing? Yeah, me too. (Though I must admit, patience isn’t exactly one of the virtues I’ve cultivated over the years!) This week, to kick off my Lead From The Heart Program I’ve asked participants to make a list of what they’ve been tolerating in […]
Bare Legs And Heart
Oy. The past couple weeks have presented numerous opportunities to grow and step out of my comfort zone. It hasn’t been easy, but it has been amazing. One of the ways I stepped out of my comfort zone was to wear a dress while delivering a keynote address. For some of you this may seem […]
