Success: A Broken Definition We’re used to tagging people as “successful” if they meet certain socially acceptable criteria: the nice clothes, the shiny cars, and the big houses (usually located in places so far out of reach we can’t even mentally place them on a map). The [sad] fact of the matter is that success […]
Read moreStill Going at 50 With Best Yet to Come
In a little over two weeks I will be 50. I’ve already started saying I’m 50 a couple months ago because when it comes to the actual day, the hope is I will embrace the fact that I am half a century old. Crazy how fast that happened! It […]
Read moreWhat A World Disaster Taught Me: Lessons of 2020
2020 was an incredibly trying year. For most of us it was our first pandemic. It came hard and fast with decisions having to be made quickly about our allowed daily activities and how we would be operating as a society. We were thrust into adapting in a constantly changing environment. It was a […]

The year 2020 started off with a… Well, actually it was two weeks before the New Year’s Eve fireworks, a precursor of what was to come. Like that feeling when you are looking at the toilet and the water is starting to bubble up instead of going down and you have no plunger. Like that […]
Read moreDear Universe, It’s All Looking GOOD for 2019

I suppose it could be looked at the same way as ‘does the chicken come before the egg or the egg before the chicken’ debate but my experience has demonstrated that skills are more valuable than money. I have been in the same […]
Read moreManaging Fear, Mastering Life
I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to speak at the Fearless Women’s Summit. This conference was brought to my attention by a couple friends and former colleagues.

Read moreHow Much Time Do You Give For Self-Reflection?
The year 2018 will an empowering and interesting year for me, I can guarantee that! Why you ask? It is because I have made the deliberate choice to free up some of my time to do some self-analysis and self-work. Now why would I do that? I believe we all crave opportunities for personal and […]
Read moreYour Story Matters
Do you have a story to tell? I bet you do. Not only do we all have stories to tell but we also have stories that contain lessons that could be very valuable to someone else. I am fortunate to be given the amazing opportunity to provide a platform for others to tell their stories. […]
