It is spring in the desert, and I just love the blooms on the cacti at this time of year. It also seems that these blooms happen overnight and may only last for a day. It made me think about how these beautiful blooms that are about to flower are like many who are [...]
For my final post about Hawaii, if you have never been there, I can assure you that it is a beautiful place. There are beautiful flowers, waterfalls, the ocean and sea life (I especially love the green sea turtles). No matter where we are, we should always take the time to enjoy the nature [...]
When flying between the Big Island and Oahu when we were visiting Hawaii a few weeks ago, I got this incredible picture of Kaho‘olawe - an uninhabited and protected island. Hawaii is made up of 137 islands and we only hear about 8 of them. This beautiful island got me thinking…why do we sometimes feel [...]
Did you ever feel like a volcano? About to erupt at any moment? On our recent trip to Hawaii, we actually got to see Kilauea erupting…we also got to see it on our very first trip to Hawaii in 1989! When we have an “extreme condition” that mirrors a volcano erupting in us, it [...]

I love the song “I Am Not Okay” by Jelly Roll, it starts by talking about how he is barely getting by and how he loses sleep at night. It continues to talk about how sometimes he wants to just stay in bed! (take a listen if you haven’t) Haven’t we all been there? [...]

Exhibiting great leadership qualities can help you excel in your career and the continued development of leadership traits will get you noticed and increase your marketability. When we talk about leadership and specifically leadership traits what do we mean and why [...]
In this week’s Random Thoughts, I felt the need to write about Accelerate Action which is the theme for International Women’s Day which is coming up on Saturday, March 8th. I love the theme but what does it really mean? Focusing on the need to Accelerate Action emphasizes the importance of taking swift and decisive steps [...]
I just finished an amazing series about Disney Princesses (about 18 weeks worth of princesses to be exact)! I had so many of you reach out to tell me that you loved the series and that one particular princess really resonated with you. Thank you so much for enjoying that series as it was [...]
So I know that I did not cover every Disney Princess in this series and as well there are several Disney characters that are not officially part of the Disney Princess lineup. Women like Jane Porter from Tarzan, Maid Marion from Robin Hood, Giselle from Enchanted and even Vanellope von Schweetz from Wreck-it-Ralph could [...]
