Need Inspiration? Look Within
You are your greatest source of inspiration. It is an energy that lives and breathes inside of you. Similar to the soul, it is infinite, limitless, boundless and pure. Tapping into your inspiration has little to do with doing, changing or figuring things out. Those responses create unsupportive barriers which clog the pathways of this force. It is a feeling that emerges from inside and expands outward. You may recognize it through a flash of insight, a rise in energy, an a ha moment or internal shift in your state of mind. Just like life happens, inspiration happens. You have…
How to Find Wisdom
I have discovered that there are many bright minds in the world but few that consider themselves to be truly enlightened. Wisdom, it would seem, comes slowly and in bite-sized morsels such that it is almost specialized. Like a discipline, say physics or chemistry or literature, there are many who have a piece of the puzzle (perhaps). Integrating these pieces into one whole could arguably be said to be more difficult than finding that one universal general theory, theory of everything, that our scientists have sought since at least Einstein. What is a person to do then, without a guide…
Looking for Success? Pay Attention to You!
You are amazing. Do you know that? Really, you are. You have a gift and you are here to share it. It's your time to shine. It's time to stop dimming your light to blend in or conform to what others tell you to do. You know you best. And you know you are meant for great things. You know that your most meaningful life is directly tied to you being YOU 100% of the time. Your main responsibility - the reason you were put on this planet - is to nurture your gifts and allow them to flow through…
Choose Your Own Adventure
From birth to this point in your life, you are an amalgam of your life experiences. They are the events and interactions with others that have defined you, from childhood games of playing house in cardboard boxes to tumultuous adult bedroom alliances. Each scene of your life blends with the others to create your story--or at least the story about you that you've scripted so far. Your story is, in fact, just a story. The beauty of the life you live is that you can redefine or, as I call it, rescript your story any time you want! You are…
Fulfill Your Mission
There's something really special about who you are. Do you know what it is? It starts by knowing that the time is now to give yourself permission to do extraordinary things in your life... Because you deserve to be somebody who makes a difference in the world. Ask yourself this question every day of your life, "Am I doing everything I could with everything I am given?" And you want to be able to answer, "Yes, I am giving it my all." No matter where you are, no matter what you've been through and no matter what takes place during…

Changing Habits- Update on Day Five
Have you ever had a day when you had to drag yourself out of bed? That was my morning yesterday. I just couldn't get my body moving. Koda and I even delayed our walk until mid morning, because I had little energy. It seems my body was trying to tell me something. I know I'm making changes. We are such habitual creatures. Over these 21 days I know that I'm creating new habits with a new eating and exercise plan and that changes in how I feel are to be expected. I just want them to be positive changes! The…
Take Time to Connect
Just for a moment, think this one thought: I am an unlimited being. I have the power to be, do or create anything in my life that I desire. Anything. How does that feel? Like most people, you're probably feeling something like "yeah, I wish", or "if only that were true", or even "I wish I could believe that". To some just saying this feels like we're lying. Some days more than others, we're able to see the possibility of "I am an unlimited being" really being a true statement. What makes the difference of not being able to say…
Life Below the Surface
Being in a sailboat in the middle of a stormy sea isn't my favorite thing to do. Last week I was sailing in the British Virgin Islands during a very windy day at sea. We had to cover nearly 15 miles, with the seas averaging 8-11' swells, complete with huge crashing-rocking-and-rolling waves and high winds. We had our friends Arielle and Brian with us on the boat and although they were great troopers, there came a point when it wasn't as fun as the first 15 minutes in rough seas. At some point the waves were bigger than the boat.…
