Your God-Given Ability: Are You Using It?

In today’s “article” I discuss the 4th aspect of the Inner Voice: Choice. I got positive response from last week’s video so decided to do it again this week. I’ll share with you a personal story about how choosing to align with your Inner Voice can clear up an “ego fencing” battle with someone you […]

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 […]

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.

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.

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 […]

The Truth is In Your Closet

We recently participated in a huge recycling event.  We’ve been cleaning out the garage and closets and letting go of things we’ve accumulated over the past 11 years in this house. (Has it really been that long since we lived out of backpacks for 4 months on the PCT, where I swore I wouldn’t carry […]

Do you know how to tell the Big D to F-off?

Doubt.   It never goes away. It changes form.  It may get bigger or smaller depending on where you’re at in your life or business.  But it never totally goes away.   Doubt is sometimes like driving with the brake on.  And sometimes it’s like a big “U-ey” on the highway of success.  One minute […]
