The opposite of play is NOT work … it’s depression. I’m currently reading a book called Play, written by medical doctor, researcher, psychiatrist and founder of the National Institute for Play, Stuart Brown. I had heard of this book years ago, but finally picked it up off the shelf after talking with multiple people whoContinue reading “The opposite of play is NOT work”

Increase your success in ACHIEVING your goals
What is your rate of success for achieving your goals? It’s safe to say that most of us do not suffer from an inability to come up with something that sounds good or think of something that “we ought to do”. Speaking personally, I have and have had ALL KINDS of ideas of things I’mContinue reading “Increase your success in ACHIEVING your goals”
The world is moved by your decision to move
I think that sometimes when we think of movement we picture exertion, sweat, kettlebells, standing on top of a peak in a muscle shirt … all great, but it almost puts movement in a box, and it puts it up on an inaccessible shelf. Movement doesn’t require a gym. It doesn’t require athletic clothing, aContinue reading “The world is moved by your decision to move”
What you aren’t changing – you’re choosing.
I recently listened to a thought-provoking podcast about the power that lies within asking for what you want and how it impacts your ability to create the life you imagine. If I haven’t already mentioned – I’m a podcast junkie! In all honesty, ASKING is always something that I have struggled with. Be it guiltContinue reading “What you aren’t changing – you’re choosing.”
Insecurity to confidence.
This week’s focus is short and to the point! Inaction and indecision lead to insecurity. When we sit idle we start to question ourselves. When our progress is at a standstill we begin to wonder if we have what it takes, if the pursuit is worthwhile, if we’ve wasted time, if we’ve made a mistake,Continue reading “Insecurity to confidence.”
Opportunity does not guarantee outcome
Opportunity does not guarantee outcome. The opportunity is just that – an opportunity. Potentially a path of less resistance, potentially getting dealt a good hand, but it doesn’t lock you in to the achievement of anything. Outcomes, especially long lasting ones, take lacing up the boots DAILY. If you win the lottery, that doesn’t meanContinue reading “Opportunity does not guarantee outcome”
Word for 2022
A few weeks ago a mentor asked me what my word was for 2022. What word would describe my intention? What word would capture my vision? What word would I embody this year? After a great deal of thought, I committed to “FREEDOM”. I think a lot of us hear the word FREEDOM and weContinue reading “Word for 2022”
Heart Party
Today marks 11 years since my 3rd and final (& ALAS! successful) heart surgery. Turning 30 years old was never guaranteed and last year’s 10-year anniversary of a relatively healthy ticker had me feeling extra emotional … in the name of expression, I decided to go with some story-telling. Written on 12/28/2020: During middle school,Continue reading “Heart Party”
‘Tis the season of giving
Merry Christmas Week!! ‘Tis the season of giving! – and this week I want you to be sure to give back to yourself as well! When we care for ourselves we are much more equipped to care for the people around us! When we give to ourselves we have much more capacity to give toContinue reading “‘Tis the season of giving”
Be willing to do things differently
If you want things to be better, be willing to do things differently. Generally we have put our heart, our soul and our self into wherever we’re currently at and generally we have adopted the habits and beliefs to put us on whatever track we’re on – which is why change is so hard! AndContinue reading “Be willing to do things differently”
