Fear – Let’s Face It!

Oftentimes, I have this uncanny feeling that something is wrong. When I turn my attention to it, I go through my list: the stove is off, the kids are in school, they left happy, I’ve done all my morning rituals including designing my day and manifesting and even picking a soul card. I’m on the ball […]

We’ve Got Spirit, Yes We Do

Have you considered that there are levels of integrity? For every result that you want in your life, you need to have the level of integrity that correlates. When promises and actions are aligned with your dreams and the results you want, you are in “physical integrity.” Physical integrity also has to do with creating […]

Procrastinators Pay the Price

As many of you know from reading my blogs, I’m a procrastinator. For years I procrastinated about losing weight until I finally became serious about my body and got healthy. After that, I really took on my procrastinator trait in several areas of my life and “leashed it.” As you may have guessed, I still […]

Don’t Believe Everything You Think

“Don’t believe everything you think.”  * I think I learned this genius aphorism on Facebook. Anyway, it’s true; I know because I’ve tested it. My best example is what I think when it’s time to get out of bed (after a decent night of seven hours). I find it remarkable that I always THINK I […]

5 Easy Steps to Ending Your Year with a Bang

There are so many ups and downs to the holiday season and so many opportunities for you to tune out what’s really important to you. Whether it is to maintain or lose weight and/or avoid credit card debt, or something else, these goals don’t need to be cast aside just because it’s the holiday season. […]

Why Consequences Work

I have seen transformation in my children over and over again. It goes like this. Setting: I enter the living room in the evening and see my children watching TV, with a mess around them. 1) Me: Please clean up the living room. Kids: (no response) 2) Me: You guys, it’s a mess and it’s […]

Outsourcing Rocks!

Warning! I have a light potty-mouth. One of the most common “dumb-ass theories” I debunk is “I have to do it all myself.” Can anyone relate? Maybe in your head it sounds a little different, like: “If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself.” or “Nobody else cares or will do […]

The Anatomy of an Excuse

It would be nice to have our dreams come true more often. But we don’t seem to believe in them quite enough. Actually we seem to believe in our excuses MORE than we believe in our dreams. And we pay more attention to them, too. But, when they pop up, they don’t sound like excuses; […]

Promises- My Mother’s Perspective

I’m content, even happy with my life. I give my relationship with my husband of over 40 years a 9+, my relationship with my kids, kids-in-law and grandkids, 9+, job of 24 years, 9+. I’ve got a few good friends whom I value deeply and scores of others: extended family and warm acquaintances for whom […]

Beginning the End of the Year

The end of summer is here and fall is just around the corner. I’ve always liked this time; probably because it feels like the start of a new year. In September, kids have gone back to school, the leaves begin to turn and the weather gets cooler. There is a real change in the air. […]

Pick Your Own Pep Talk

 Here’s a blog you may want to bookmark and come back to from time to time. I’ve been coaching for more than 15 years and I have given a lot of pep talks in my day, to myself and others. I also give them frequently during Wake Up Your Week. I’d say it’s a main […]
