Last week the kids started back to school! A brand new school year! Lots of possibilities. Lots of hopes. Lots of excitement. It got me thinking about the parallels of New Years Eve and School Years Eve. New Years resolutions and School Years resolutions.

Who am i then?
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?

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?!
Bathroom Beauty
Ok, are you thinking... "what is THIS blog about???" Bathroom Beauty??? huh? It's not what you think.
