Today, you were given a gift. This gift did not arrive in your mailbox. It was not given to you by a friend or family member, nor did it come wrapped in pretty paper with a bow.

Every morning we awake, we are given the gift of a new day.

When our thoughts become things, we call that manifesting. 

Manifesting is such a woo woo word these days and yet, I don’t think it gets the credit it deserves.

Have you ever noticed that when you have wanted something, and I mean really wanted it, you found a way to make it happen? How did you do that? I think I know how. 

It seems that lately, different opportunities have been coming my way. The timing is interesting because, as I mentioned in last week's email, I have become clear and focused on where I will give my time and energy in the coming months. Looking back through some of my writings, I came across the following. I wrote this just a little over two years ago, and re-reading it was the reminder I needed. I hope that maybe it will resonate with you too.

Oh, my goodness, the month of October was a rough one. 

It started with a fantastic birthday celebration with one of my best friends in Vegas, and I seriously had the time of my life. I mean, we laughed and laughed and laughed and were full of so much joy the entire time. When we got home after the four fun-filled days, I was exhausted, which I expected after very little sleep, but guess what? I got hit with COVID, which was unexpected but maybe should have been expected after two airplane rides and being around hundreds of people. 

Many years ago, after being married for eighteen years and going through a divorce, I gifted myself one year of dating only myself. I wanted to figure out who I really was, what I liked, didn’t like, and how I wished to spend my time. I wanted to get to know myself in the way I would want to…

The word peace is thrown around a lot and used in a range of ways. We are all familiar with sayings such as peace of mind, peace and quiet, peace and joy, and especially this time of year, peace on earth…

A grin, a smile, giggles that turn to laughter, and sometimes, the uncontrollable belly laugh that has you crying, bent over, and sometimes peeing your pants. It’s the best and one of the best things for you!

The dictionary definition of joy is a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. Joy comes in moments, which is beautiful, as it lets us experience a feeling of great pleasure numerous times a day, every day…

Hope.

I hope you have a good day. I hope it is warm outside. I hope I get the interview. I hope this pandemic ends soon. I hope I can see you soon…

Yes, again, and this is why. When we practice gratitude, it grounds us, fills in the gaps, and makes us whole. Seriously, it does, and if you don’t believe me, I ask that you try it for yourself…

True Confidence is…

Thanksgiving 2020.

I have had so many mixed feelings leading up to this holiday, a holiday that has been my all-time favorite for as long as I can remember, and I have been a bit anxious about what it will be like emotionally…

When the clutter in my mind has taken over, and I can't organize even one complete thought, let alone the hundreds of them swirling around in my head creating a jumbled mess and nothing productive, I do what I do…

Forgiveness, a heavy word, a healing word, and oh, such a gift of self-love…

Are you a joy seeker?

I wake most mornings with a heavy heart, and for a moment, I can't quite figure out why. While I slept, I had forgotten what was going on in the world, and then like a smack in the face, I remember we are in the midst of unfathomable times…

As a coach, I have worked with hundreds of individuals that were on a quest to change careers, transform their lives, walk away from life as they had known it, and take risks to begin again or try something new…
