If you need a reminder that supporting your children is the right thing to do, I have a story for you.

I had forgotten that my mom played in a marching band in high school. Yesterday, quite by accident, we starting talking about it. We were sipping some hot tea and she told me the entire story of her experience. There were lots of obstacles thrown in her path - but she persevered in spite of them - and in spite of her parents.

It was the 1950s and my mom and her family had…

Your goddess knowledge has always been there. You know what brings you harmony. The sound you make when you are singing from your heart reverberates all around you. It makes you feel dynamic, alive, connected and free. Your soul passion, the song you were meant to sing may not be in the form of a piano or music. It doesn’t matter what your medium of expression is. What’s important is that you don’t abandon it.

Your unique, truest self may be hidden. The fire of your souls’ song may…

"Love is in need of love..." Thank you for those words Stevie Wonder. And I would tweek it slightly to say that love is in need of Self-Love today. How can we allow our bodies to become unhealthy, overweight, and stressed out, if we truly love ourselves?

Managing a successful business, like managing a successful relationship, is hard work.  If you don’t have passion, it can feel like a thankless task. 

Starting a new business can mean jumping many difficult hurdles.  Making it through the first couple of years is a struggle, with many small businesses folding during this period. If you have a passionate belief in what you do, you are far more likely to persevere and succeed.  James Dyson made 5,126 prototypes before he came up with…

Winter is the coldest season of the year in temperate climates, between autumn and spring.  At the Winter Solstice, the days are shortest and the nights are longest, with days lengthening as the season progresses after the solstice. The winter has also been described as a period of time characterized by coldness, misery, barrenness, or death.

How do you stay in tune with the flow of cold, misery and death?

I am in Northern California writing this on November 1st,  and…

Well, OK, so this is an easy one and not a surprise to most: I'm passionate about health and fitness and keeping in shape.

Sometimes, all we need is a little push



Some of you know I'm a life coach. Which causes many people to wonder if I spend my free time at sporting events with a whistle around my neck, yelling at people to get their game on. A friend challenged me this week to share with everyone why exactly I decided to become a life coach, and why that matters to you. So for this post, I will take a detour from the usual tips and stories to share my answer here.



I chose to be a life… Continue
