    The Rose Vs The Bouquet

    The Rose Vs The Bouquet! Are you only valuing the rose as part of the bouquet…..or can you value the rose by itself? We tend to say “It’s about the little things in life that matter”…..yet we don’t show an appreciation for all that creates the bigger picture. I’m guilty of it at times, as well as others I know. It is part of us as humans. So how do we learn to value a rose by itself? How do we begin to value the process….or the little things? Can you value the ten dollars you do have, rather than waiting for the millions to roll in before you begin valuing…

    Let Go Of Being Right

    Let Go Of Being Right….. and just continue sharing what it is you have to offer the world! Why? Because someone needs your insight, ideas, and knowledge…..despite having those around you not believing in you. We are continuously tested. Our dreams of reaching for something greater is challenged by those who haven’t taken the time to dive into that which drives you. Recently I was able to tell someone….”See, you are being told now the exact things I’ve been telling you for years”….but in this case, I wish I was wrong because what I was sharing was not valued. Now a life is dependent upon it! If I told you…

    Pen In Hand

    In this episode, you will find I had a tough time recording this episode! My mind was all over the place….. I jumped from sharing how to quit “Fearing Your Voice”……. How we are afraid to say what we actually think, such as: I believe in God! I hate my job! You upset me! And whatever else that strikes a chord with whatever keeps you from speaking up. Then, I tried recording an episode about taking the pen from whoever is holding it….. And to “Write Your Own Story”! There are days in which we are off cue, such as I was in this episode…… But because of this, I…

    Start Trusting Yourself NOW! The World is Waiting.

    So a few days ago I was running a few errands around town here in Tempe, AZ.  And as I cruised to the store jamming to some podcasts….I thought about TRUST. You see it hit me like a ton of bricks that most of us trust everything outside of ourselves very easily.  We trust our husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, our boss, parents and even the driver of the car next to us. And we put this outward like it’s nothing at all.  No worry about it.  We just let it happen. But yet why is it that we don’t trust ourselves with that same power? To be honest as I…

    Time Is Running Out

    Are you feeling under pressure, as though the time is running out? Are you feeling as though the pressure is building to a point….that all you have to do is to make a move, but fear causes you to feel as though you’ve just found deepest pits of quicksand? Well, I get it…. All you have to do is to make a move to stop the clock and improve your setting….but yet you still are unable to. Yep, it’s a shitty feeling. Now it’s time to find it within you….to find that courage and strength, even when there might be some doubt on your move……but by making your move, you know…

    Participation Awards

    Participation Awards….. Hmmmm…..the magical question on whether or not our kids are deserving of a trophy or ribbon…..just for participating! Well, I won’t dance around this one! I’ve coached my daughter in softball for 5 years…..junior high volleyball for a season…..and assistant for junior high basketball. And my son, well I’ve coached him in baseball for 4 years, and now in travel ball…..basketball for a season….and soccer for a season. Back in the day, many of us growing up didn’t receive awards for “participating” Personally, as each season begins, I share with the parents that I will not participate in getting the kids trophies or plaques for playing the game.…

    Fear Your Dreams?

    Do you fear your dreams? And in fearing your dreams, you’d rather enjoy the thoughts and feelings of what a destination (dream) might actually bring to your life…. In college, I remember taking a philosophy class which brought a great deal of thinking my way….we read the poem of “Ithaca”. Ithaca is a destination….. But by the poem’s end, it is not Ithaca that is important, it is who you became in your travels to Ithaca….no matter your destination was that which was expected…. If it brought disappointment…. Or it became more than you could imagine. What we dream of, secretly brings about fear for many of us…..which prohibits from…
