  • Self-Conclusion…Live NOW

    An interesting response came the other night from Gary. I was sitting on the couch watching TV and working on my laptop. As I was shutting my laptop down and closing the recliner to get up I said to Gary “I really need to get my life together!”. To this Gary literally laughed out loud…

  • Undoubtedly Self-Confident

    Self-confidence as defined is “a feeling of trust in one’s abilities, qualities, and judgment”.  I found it interesting that “trust” was part of the definition; however fitting. I have always felt like I have a great deal of self-confidence however if it were redefined as a “great deal of trust” in myself I am not…

  • Self-Love…leave the fear and loathing in Vegas

    Self-love is a practice, it is a mantra, it is what we say to ourselves about our selves. Brene Brown says, “Practicing self-love means learning how to trust ourselves, treat ourselves with respect and to be kind and affectionate toward ourselves.” Whether you have self-love down to a science or just learning to love yourself,…

  • Self-Care…much ado about EVERYthing

    Let’s talk self-care, the very thing I know the most about and yet have to remind myself to re-balance frequently. Self-care is not selfish. Self-care belongs at the very top of your list because if you are not caring for your SELF then you cannot care for anything or anyone else. My self-care is reading,…

  • Self Series…value, worth, why we do what we do…

    Let’s do the work, there is so much of it to be done. I am launching my “Self Series” to really explore self-worth, self-value and where the motivation to do what we do comes from and why. There are articles, books, blogs, and tons of other information around this subject and when I learn I…

  • I am not the solution…

    I am guilty as charged. I cannot look at ANY situation where I am not immediately figuring out a solution. Before asked, as the situation is unfolding or being described, I am solving. Is it a control “thing” is it “servant leadership” or is it a need to be needed? I tend to think it’s…

  • “Not good enough” keeps me pushing until “Enough is enough”

    “Enough is never enough” is a statement I have repeated to myself many times in this life. The context for which it is used is paramount because it is important to note that I am not suggesting that I AM not good enough. It is about pushing to the next level. There are few things…

  • Are you present…or a million miles away…or both?

    One of my favorite questions to ask my husband at any moment in time is “What are you thinking about right now?”. To which he typically answers, “nothing”. What? Huh? How is that possible? A quiet brain is not one I know; I almost said “blessed with” but thought better as I am blessed as…

  • I am going to just leave this here for you…

    Let me just leave this right here. This thought, this feeling for you to ______. Sometimes we don’t have to fill in the blank. Sometimes the drama is in what we don’t say or do. This is a great strategy to make an impact but takes practice. Just saying enough, not giving it all up…

  • Discipline you either have it or you don’t…right?

    As I came home very late tonight from a very long day at work I was debating if I “had it in me” to do my scheduled run. Before I could even contemplate it, I was changing into workout clothes…it’s discipline, right? Sometimes it’s obsessive, sometimes unrelenting and sometimes crushing…yea that describes discipline in all…
