We recently returned from a trip to the Canadian Rockies and I have never seen mountains so majestic and vast… truly spectacular! Everywhere we looked we were surrounded and they seemed to go on forever. On one of our last days we hiked a peak that was like no other...

What Are You Looking Forward to Today?
What are your first thoughts of the day? Does it have something to do with the stuff you didn’t get done yesterday? The many things you need to do today? Your concerns about tomorrow? If yes, that is no way to start your day. Instead, begin your day with a...
You’re Glorious Badass
You’re so much stronger than you think you are. With decades under your belt… You’ve moved mountains, accomplished great things and overcome lots of challenges. You’ve been doing that since the day you were born. And you’ve become stronger with every win and with every challenge you’ve overcome. You just...
You are Like a Plant
You are like a plant. Too little sun and water, and you won’t thrive. Too much sun and water, and you won’t thrive either. You need balance. To live well, you need the perfect amount of work, fun, rest, challenge, peace and love. If the balance is out of whack,...
Permission Granted
I’ve worked with hundreds of people and the grand majority of them have one thing in common: They don’t give themselves permission to do the thing they want to do. They are waiting… to have more money, for more time, to have better health, more knowledge… for a bullet-proof plan,...

Back in my NYC days, I loved rollerblading around Central Park. Despite the epic fall that created the largest, most magnificent bruise I have ever seen, I loved it. The freedom, the speed, the coolness of experiencing the city that I love on 4 tiny wheels.\ I was 28 then,...
Don’t Worry
If you’re feeling worried, overwhelmed, depleted and/or down this this little guy has you covered. When he says “EVERYTHING WILL BE ALL RIGHT”, I believe him. Perhaps you will too. Enjoy!! And have a wonderful rest of the week! Seriously, don’t worry. “Worry” is brilliant at only one thing – Robbing...
The Time that You Have
I’ve been thinking alot lately about the preciousness of life and the gift of every one of these days we have here on earth. My dad just passed and he was fortunate to be gifted 31,540 of these days. It brings me so much peace to know that the last...
The 1440 Minutes You Have Today
I’m so happy I took Monday afternoon off to experience the awe of the solar eclipse. We had a partial (90%) eclipse, and it was amazing to see how much light remained with just a sliver of sun peaking through. It got me thinking… WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE LIVING...
