Each year, our birthday’s roll around and it seems as we get older, the less and less we want to celebrate them. I’m not sure if this is a societal or a personal thing but I’ve noticed that a lot of people don’t want to celebrate their birthdays. I am very guilty of this too. Since my oldest daughter was born on my 30th birthday, I’ve given up my day so that she would get most of the attention. Birthdays are a marker in our lives and a great time to assess and reevaluate where we are and where we want to be.

But we don’t need to wait for Read More »

Are you living your dream life? Your dream life is a very personal thing. It means that those things you have always dreamed about are coming true in your life. It doesn’t always have to mean the fancy cars, the nicest house, or all the material things that a lot of people will associate with a dream life. It’s about living the life that is right for you.

A lot of people allow external circumstances or people to define Read More »

My expanded vision for WISE: that together we are all WORTHY, INSPIRED, SUPPORTED and ENGAGED.

I want to get into the WORTH piece today, at least a little bit (because it’s a BIG issue for us). I believe the need to feel worthy is the most difficult requirement in today’s society for women. It is also the desire that is least often addressed or satisfied. It’s almost gotten trite, this notion of self-worth. But cynicism around the idea does not change the need for it. And when I talk to women, it is so often the core of that sense that all of us have had… “this isn’t enough, I’m not enough, I never have enough.”

Let me start by saying Read More »

Have you ever needed to work on a project, complete a marketing piece or call a client that you haven’t talked to in a while and drug your feet because you just weren’t “feeling it”?

So, which comes first? The inspiration or the action?

I have to admit that I have been there. It happens a lot when I’m outside of my comfort zone. I need to take action but I’m just not sure if now is the right time. I don’t have the perfect words to say or Read More »

There is a fighter instinct in us to never give up. It is the inner strength rising up from within to deal with whatever cards we have been dealt. Determination is defined as “the act of coming to a decision or of fixing or settling a purpose”. When you have committed to some sort of purpose, you are taking action to make it happen. The Universe loves that kind of direction and will support you in many ways, even if it may not seem like that sometimes.

When you can combine your determination with vision, it will give you power to create the life you imagine! Whether it is overcoming an illness, prevailing over huge obstacles, or Read More »

You know her when you see her. She moves purposefully, her feet firmly on the ground. She is gracious, but doesn’t make a lot of small talk. Her eyes light up when she speaks and she has a definite opinion. She is confident. She is vital. She is inspired.

Is she you?

It doesn’t cost a thing to be inspired. We’ve seen stories of inspired women around the globe, some with significant financial resources, others with none.
The root meaning of the word inspire? Read More »

If you are looking for transformation in your life then you need to create the space to allow for transformation to take place. Everything needs room to grow and expand, including people!

Recently in a client session, I was having a conversation with one of my client’s angels – I know I say that as if it were an everyday occurrence, but trust me, even given the parameters of my work it was a rare treat for me. Anyway…. my client’s angel and I were discussing Alchemy, another term used for transformation. I asked the angel Read More »

Appreciation—A Key to Transforming Your Life

Appreciation is a way of giving thanks to the things we are glad about in our lives. It is one of the major keys to living a joyful life. According to the dictionary it is “thankful recognition”. It’s a way that can lift your spirits quickly when you start to focus on all that you are grateful for in your life.

Sergio and I both learned to appreciate all the good things we had in our lives. Even though we were separated and Read More »

Have you ever been frustrated when things don’t go as planned? You plan, prepare and have goals and then you get something else? The current business model is that we plan ahead for years. We do 5-year plans or we do business plans. We plan and plan and plan. We put so much effort into our plans that we feel like we have to stick with the plan. And if we don’t plan, we feel like we should. Now, I’m not saying that we shouldn’t plan. All I’m saying is Read More »
