Lately, I’ve found that there is magic and possibility in two little words. These two words have the power to unstick me like WD-40, to take me from indecision to action, to move me from paralyzed by too many choices to picking one thing and rolling with it. Those two magic words are “for now”. [...]

I don’t know about you, but I can get super-focused on making everything about some kind of accomplishment. I don’t just go for a bike ride, I have to ride 100 miles. Or I’ll ride my favorite route, and try to hit a personal best time for it. Or I’ll have a goal to write [...]

I’ve been hard at work the last few weeks, putting the finishing touches on my upcoming e-course, The 28 Day Gutsy Life Challenge. It’s been a ton of work, tons of fun, super-challenging, and I had a fabulous group of beta-testers who blew me out of the water with their terrific feedback about the program. [...]

I don’t know about you, but getting back into the full-on swing of work after being on vacation does not go smoothly for me. It’s like trying to stand up straight and walk after spending ten hours cramped into coach on a transatlantic flight: everything is stiff and asleep, every movement is awkward and kind [...]

I want clarity on exactly what content to include, clarity about what would be most helpful to the participants, clarity about how to market it, and so on. [...]

During those many years I spent as a hairdresser, I had all kinds of tricks and techniques to change people’s hair. For the most part, I loved it, and I loved playing with people’s appearance. It was fun to do, and most women seemed to have a good handle on themselves, and why they were [...]

It’s that time of year again, and I’m never sure quite how I feel about it. Meaning: it’s my birthday season (yes, I have an entire SEASON for my birthday). I’m at one of those ages where saying how old I am sounds weird coming out of my mouth, because I don’t think I feel [...]

Ah, the joy ride, the crazy roller coaster that is the life of the solopreneur. This week, join me inside my head for a glimpse into a week of being self-employed and growing a business, and the nutty mood swings that go along with it. Monday Yay, Monday! Fresh start this week! Big list of [...]

Years ago, I did an intensive personal growth seminar. It was the first one I ever did, and was instrumental in getting really interested in the pursuit of personal excellence and of deep self-awareness. We spent five long days digging down into our psyches, beginning to shine the light on our own habits, beliefs, and [...]
