I can tell you that many years ago I would have told you that I made it in this world all by myself…but when I look truly back at my life, there were so many people who have guided me along the way. We all need a guide and you just need to recognize [...]
There are so many ways that experiences can help us in our life, and I am going to talk about a few of them that have been helpful to me. The first is spending some time alone. I know that sounds a little crazy, but I truly love spending time alone. By taking time [...]
Some things you firmly believe in now will change as you grow older, so always keep an open mind. I can definitely tell you that there were things in my early life that I said I didn’t believe in that changed for me as time moved on. Make sure you listen to the people [...]
One of the most difficult things in life for me is control...I want to control EVERYTHING! I look back and wonder how much time I have wasted in my life on things that are completely out of my control! What I have learned is that I cannot dwell on things that have gone wrong [...]
On our journey to find our best self, we should invest both time and money in ourselves. Don’t spend time and money on things that don’t really matter. Instead invest in yourself and you will find that it is always worth it. Sometimes we just need to give ourselves a break even if we [...]

Set goals for different areas of your life, write down, prioritize and start small I don’t know about you, but I have a love/hate relationship with “resolutions”. So, for the next three weeks as we start 2024, I am going to challenge you to set a GOAL that you want to achieve this year. [...]
So, for my final blog post of the year, I am want to talk about being authentic. For those of you who know me, you know that I am very vocal, can get very excited about things and have a laugh that most people will recognize. That is me being authentic. Do any of [...]
This week I want to talk about “fit”. But I’m not talking about being physically fit (although that is also important in life). I am talking about philosophical, and personality fit when it comes to your work life. So, let’s start with philosophical fit. Philosophical fit refers to the alignment of an individual’s values, [...]
