The Power of an Apology
This morning while trying to find a parking spot at the local farmer’s market, a cop pulled up next to me and yelled at me to move and not block traffic. I’d found what was the last spot on the block, and yes, I was mucking up the flow of traffic. I moved ahead and...
Honoring the Journey
Four years of journals. On Friday, I received the message it was time to let them go. How could I best honor all of the thoughts, time and effort that went into them? It didn’t feel right to just throw them away. Four years of co-creation, ideas, manifestations,...
The Rules of Silence
You will never be able to win your game as long as you’re playing by someone else’s rules. Why boundaries are vital to your being. I’m not typically interested in royal shenanigans. They’re human just like us, but with a lot more money and level of prestige greater...

Ready, Willing, and Able
Ready, willing and able is an old cliché that arose in our collective consciousness in the early 19th century. It implies that you have to be eager and fully prepared before moving into or doing something. For the smaller things in life, this may be apropos. To eat or...
You are Not a Mistake
There’s a quote with many variations I often heard during my corporate days, “Your lack of planning doesn’t constitute an emergency on my part.” Short of needing to put out the occasional fire, for the most part, this rings true when it comes to work. But when we...
