I observed a few things while travelling recently that really made me stop and think about how some of us have fallen into creating a false representation of what’s really happening in our lives. We need to be careful in how we portray ourselves for those around us as well as for ourselves. In today’s video, I’ll share […]
If you’ve read my blog before, you know I am a big believer in self-care and personal development. As you can see from my note above, I traveled to San Diego, California this week to do a little of both: attending a one-day conference and visiting with family. I won’t be writing a typical blog post […]
Last week I talked about the lessons I’ve learned after recently reading my mom’s autopsy report. I have received countless messages, mostly private, from people telling me that reading that post really struck a chord with them—many could relate directly to the problem with alcoholism in families, others could relate because they have been or […]
I received a package in the mail this week that contained my mother’s autopsy report. She died 11 years ago, but some of her things were sent to me recently after my step-dad passed away. My mom’s death certificate, which I had a copy of, listed her immediate cause of death as “complications due to […]
Today wraps up our three-part series on self-care.

Trying something new this week…a VIDEO blog post! Let me just begin by telling you, it’s not as easy as it looks! I decided after 20 + takes that it’s better to put something out there than nothing at all. You’ll understand what I mean when you watch the video. Please excuse my mess ups, and just know that I’m […]
Do you feel like you’ve experienced a bit of whiplash with how quickly these last two months have flown by? I sat down the other day and reviewed my written goals for the year (which I strongly urge you to do at least once per month) and realized that of the 15 goals I set back […]
A friend of mine, a gifted public speaker, recently received a hand-written “fan” letter in the mail. The letter writer informed my friend that she was a terrible public speaker and that she needed to take a public speaking class. Now let me interject here: It is not only my biased opinion as a friend […]
