Separation is... Initially when you think of the act of separating it likely brings about negative feelings. The act of taking something apart, the idea of removing one thing from another feels like loss. However what I have learned is that separation is the very thing that brings about perspective; not sometimes, but every time.... Continue Reading →
Forgiveness…on my terms
Forgiveness is a tricky thing; concept and word. We all understand that on the surface it suggests that we will "let go" of something that has harmed us. However in deeper terms you often hear of stories of forgiveness that breach concept; like when a mother forgives the person that murdered her child. I have... Continue Reading →
Balance…Intention Distribution
Balance...what a word...it brings about immediate response in a world that is imploding from all sides. We have more to do than ever before because there is more to do thanks to 24 hour operations, access to everything all the time and boundaries that no longer exist. The task at hand is to take the...

I keep a record of the wreckage in my life…
https://youtu.be/Q_dqfcvTZik Nightmare by Halsey Publishing what I like to call an OVERDOSE to "THE DAILY DOSE" of my Facebook page, "Always Starting...The Art of Never Giving Up". This was a very raw moment but so honest and having slept on it for over a week I am ready to hit publish. Relish in the honesty...... Continue Reading →
Letting Go of Managing
Last weekend I had the benefit of spending a day at the Oprah 2020 Vision Tour and of course was taking notes feverishly as she and her thought-leaders shared their experiences and philosophies. There were many "aha" moments that day but one that resonated with me profoundly "Don't manage where you should be consulting." BOOM!... Continue Reading →

I was having dinner with a friend and former colleague recently and the topic of women executives came up. I was expressing my obliviousness to what others are quick to distinguish as the ratio of women to men in the boardroom. Since that conversation I find myself counting the men to women ratio in every... Continue Reading →
Changing a Life…one resolution at a time
This last week of every year starts my mind thinking through what I want in the coming year. Being someone who admittedly is "Always Starting..." I don't need a New Year to start again. In my dieting days it was a Monday that would be the "start" and of course the ultimate for all large... Continue Reading →

Friendship is something we all learn about early in our lives. Our first friends are typically our parents, friends children, cousins or if you are so blessed, a sibling. These early relationship form so easily out of the commonality of having parents that like to spend time together and hence your friends are formed. These... Continue Reading →
The further away the further I go, and other rabbit holes
It has admittedly been weeks since I wrote last. A habit, hobby, outlet that is supposed to be exercised daily. It is not that I did not want to write. It is not that there isn't anything to write. It is that I could not...trapped like a hostage in the labyrinth that is my mind... Continue Reading →
Contentment…a rare find
I can probably count on one hand how many times in my life I have uttered the word "content". It is not part of my vocabulary to note that "I am content" with anything or anyone. As you can imagine this makes it hard for those people that are committed to me and I to... Continue Reading →
