It happens to the best of us! At some points in our life, we are going to burn-out or totally get knocked down from something that we felt was going to work out but didn't. Our confidence gets rocked and we feel like all the efforts we put into something was a waste of time. [...]
I just came back from an absolutely amazing women's event in Manhattan Beach, California where I spent 2 1/2 days connecting, networking and learning from fantastic, high quality women. The people at this event just 'got it'. They were super positive, authentic and we learned so much from one another. What I wanted to do [...]
One of the most effective ways to get yourself out there in the world is to network! We must get away from the computer and put ourselves out there in front of people. It is an amazing way to meet new people and for others to get to know who we really are. And if [...]
This is always a busy time of year. Between holiday shopping, cooking, attending holiday parties and finishing up client work, there seems not to be much other time to think about anything else. But I do think about something else. Always at this time, I review what my goals were for the year; and see what I accomplished [...]
Isn't it truly amazing how fast the holiday is approaching? It just seems as if we cleaned up from Thanksgiving and in a few short days Christmas will be here.

I have always considered myself to be an efficient person that makes the most of my time. A few months ago, I decided that I wanted even more time in my day to do things I thoroughly enjoy. Less work time and more leisure time! I mean, I am all about working hard, but my time is valuable [...]
It's amazing how hard we can be on ourselves sometimes, isn't it? Why do we do it? We know it's unreasonable and shouldn't be doing it. But it seems like for so many of us, it's in our nature to take care of everyone else first and leave ourselves last. I want you to take a moment [...]
When I was a young adult , if someone suggested for me to walk up to someone I didn't know and introduce myself, it either wouldn't happen or it would take me a long time to get the courage to do it. I would be nervous. My hands would sweat. I would have no idea what to even say. I [...]
I am driven. I am motivated. I am a self-starter. If someone says I can't do something, watch out because I am going to prove that 'yes I can' do it. I have accomplished a lot just with my own internal drive for life. But yesterday was one of those days that reminded me of the importance of surrounding ourselves with [...]
