I can not cook. I don't garden. I am not an artist. I am certainly no athlete. Then who am I? Sometimes I wonder who I am. Today though, as I was sitting in an audience at a Global Leadership Summit, I realized who I am. I am a "joy-ologist" ! I am the CIO of my family & friends = Chief Inspiration Officer! HaHa, I love my new titles that I bestowed upon myself. Seriously though. … [Read more...] about Who am i then?

Spring Cleaning Audit!
Recently I had lunch with a friend who is an image consultant and she was telling me how one of the services she provides her clients is a Closet Audit. In a nutshell, a closet audit is when she helps a client really look at her closet contents and decide what to keep and what to get rid of. They completely empty the closet and then go through each item to decide what will go back in. Does it … [Read more...] about Spring Cleaning Audit!
Tug -O- War: Me or Thee?!
Today while talking to my buddy C, I knew what my new blog would be about. She was telling me about this great new camp she attended with a child she mentors. It was a Christian camp and it was amazing. There were many things she loved about the camp, but her favorite thing was their motto: I am number THREE! What that means is they put God first, then others, then themselves. So they are … [Read more...] about Tug -O- War: Me or Thee?!

Forcing Balance!!!
Too busy, too busy, too busy! I am a fan of "abundance", but not in my schedule! I feel a bit overwhelmed with all that is going on the next 10 days. If you read my May Madness blog, you already know that my month of May is soooo crazy. As a mom of two school aged children it seems almost impossible in the month of May to keep my sanity. There are so many overlaps in schedules, activities, … [Read more...] about Forcing Balance!!!
Maybe it’s YOU?!
Wow, how's that for a title? I was just thinking, do you know anyone who is always just filled with D.R.A.M.A.? You know, the kind of lady who enters every meeting or conversation with "You'll never believe what I've just been through...". I like to consider myself as having a very HIGH joy filter, and usually can find myself in the company of others who seek JOY vs. Stress. However, every now … [Read more...] about Maybe it’s YOU?!
Bring on the cake!!
Ahhh, the month of April brings wildfowers, sunny blue skies and most importantly and spectacularly MY birthday! I will be turning 41 this year and I don't mind at all. So many of my friends fret about birthdays and aging and time going by, but not me. My take on the whole birthday scene, is each day I am going to grow older anyways, so why not live it up on the one day a year when people … [Read more...] about Bring on the cake!!
