I was sitting in a class one weekend, as a full-on adult, wanting to share something to add to the conversation, but something held me back. I stayed silent. So did the rest of the class.

The other weekend I was struck by a compulsion to rearrange the furniture in my living room. Mind you, I had plenty of other things on my to-do list. A big project for my business being one of them. Even with competing priorities, I was single-minded, all-in, eyes-on-the-prize determined to get my living room looking like something on HGTV.

My six-yearr old daughter came into my room the other day and asked, “Mom? What’s the difference between Christmas and Harmonica?”

Gratitude seems to be everywhere these days. It’s has gotten so much buzz because it’s been shown to improve your mindset.

If you are struggling with your current 9 to 5, know you’re not alone. How you can gain insight to your larger purpose and apply it to your career.

With the new year starting, it’s a nice time to think about what things to keep as well what to ditch in the next year. Here's a list of my personal Keep and Ditch items for 2018. 

We celebrated Christmas today with our two girls, 4- and 2-years old. Watching their joy in all the gifts they received--even the very simple ones--was a lesson for me today. 

For me, perfectionism is a result of operating from fear rather than operating from commitment and purpose. I'm afraid if I don't get something perfect I won't gain acceptance or external validation that I'm good enough.

I often find that I'm ready for the "thing" to be here or the event to be done. So much so that I miss out on the beauty around me as I'm arriving at said "thing" or event. I became keenly aware of this as I was considering one of the activities my oldest daughter loves to do most with me--bake.
