Two magic words to get you unstuck

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”. [...]

Better Living Through White Space

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 [...]

Got Guts?

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. [...]

Maps and plans meet detours and wrong turns. Keep calm and carry on.

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 [...]

When Motivation Goes MIA

As you may or may not know, I like to cycle. I ride bikes when I can for exercise, for fun, for peace of mind, and for a challenge. And so last weekend, at the suggestion of my guy, I signed up to do a century ride, a century being 100 miles long. Now, I’ve [...]

Clarity versus Certainty

I’ve found myself thinking about clarity a lot over the past week or so as I’ve been working on my upcoming e-course, 28 Days to Gutsy Living. 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. [...]

It’s not about the hair

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 [...]

Happy Birthday to me! (and why that means good stuff for YOU)

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 [...]

First Up, Then Down. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

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 [...]

Truth, transparency and telling it like it is

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 [...]
