Many of us will stay in our safe environments to avoid fear and worry.   When you back off from experiencing something challenging – it will temporarily relieve the anxiety and discomfort.  However, I want you to seriously consider the price you pay when you back away from life’s challenges.  Not only will it impact your self-esteem and confidence – you will feel a sense of powerlessness, frustration and unfulfillment.  You sabotage your chance at change, success and happiness.  Read more >

A few weeks ago I did my usual saunter past my husband in my snug jeans before I headed out to meet with my friends for dinner. I do a little wiggle, then say, “So how does my ass look in these jeans?” He says, “Nice and flat” “What? I’ll  have you know I was voted ‘nicest ass’ in high school.” He laughed and said, “Are you sure you didn’t leave it there?” Don’t get me wrong; my man loves my tushie. It’s just that we will do the banter dance whenever we learn something quirky about each other. It’s our way of keeping each other grounded.  Read more >

I recently read the book “I feel bad about my neck” by Nora Ephron. I chuckle as I study the cover and remember hearing about this book when it first came out in 2006. I guess it just wasn’t my time to read it until now. From the first page, my laughter started and hit its peak when I read the quote: “If you want to get really really depressed about your neck, sit in the backseat of a car, behind the driver and look at yourself in the rearview mirror”.  Read more >

Don't Look Back

I recently came face to face with my past. I was at a restaurant with my family when an ex-boyfriend sat down at a table directly in front of me. Seeing him after 22 years brought back memories of a not so good time in my life. The man before me is someone who I allowed to steal my power when I was 21 years old. He physically and mentally abused me and long after the relationship ended, I hung on to the hurts from that time. For many years I let my emotions hold me prisoner.  Read more >
