Celebrating a True Act of Courage

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Sometimes we go through our days and forget to truly celebrate moments that have been turning points. Sometimes these are points along a continuum, part of the great big ripple effect that makes you who you are. Today I celebrate one of those days. You see June 26th would have been my parent’s 45th wedding [...]

Turning Fear into Freedom

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

As you may know, I am pretty passionate about using your fear for something greater.  We all have fear, and you’re never going to get rid of it fully, so why not harness it for good?  Why not make it your friend so you can move forward in your life with what you say you [...]

What Do You Stand For?

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Last week I had the pleasure of going to the National Historic Park for Women’s Rights in Seneca Falls, NY.  Here we are standing next to the Declaration of Sentiments monument. It was an inspiring few hours there.  To be in the space and energy of what women throughout history have done to stand up [...]

Elizabeth Gilbert on Creativity and Fear

Friday, October 9th, 2009

When I saw this video of Elizabeth Gilbert, I just had to share it here. Her thoughts on showing up for your life, moving through fear, embracing your creativity, and releasing expectation and judgment of yourself is so utterly moving and inspiring. It is a must-see video…grab a cup of tea and treat yourself to [...]

Are You Living a Life of Quiet Desperation?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

A few weeks ago I was watching the movie “Revolutionary Road” with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.  Some seriously powerful acting in this movie and I was reminded again how much I am drawn to strong women characters who have so much potential but are haunted by the inability to be who they truly are.  [...]
