Happy Spring, in fact Happy Everything!
I love this time of year, when everything feels new and is filled with hope and promise. Sometimes we take our days for granted, with all of our running around, commitments, meetings, activities that we don’t take time to stop and smell the petunias. Literally! Read the rest of this entry »

At the beginning of every year I choose a personal mantra for myself. I like to think of it as my marketing slogan for the year. Last year it was “step into your life and own it,” and 2011 for me, was a year of self rediscovery.

When was the last time you stepped outside your comfort zone, made a risky decision, or tried something completely new? Any successful CEO would probably tell you, that if you weren’t making at least one risky decision every month, doing something that made you slightly uncomfortable, that you were probably not ready to go to the next level in your life.

I’m currently taking part in a series of lessons called Infinite Possibilities, during the first week the discussion centered on the idea that anything is possible, we just have to believe that it’s possible and “it” will manifest in our lives. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s approximately 18” from your brain to your heart. How often do you get caught up in over thinking a problem and under-doing something about the same problem? Recently, a good friend of mine made an interesting comment, he said, “sometimes the longest trip you take is from your head to your heart.” Read the rest of this entry »
