We’ve Gone Healthy

We got nailed again. Part of being extraordinary means you are always open for improvement. In fact, you make it your job to grow, learn, evolve and get better. So, of course, we had to notice the new health wave going on around us and not get dusted! Thanks to pioneers like Kris Carr, the […]

Be So Unlike You

Going to Burning Man was so “unlike me.” I like order, cleanliness and accomplishment. It’s not about any of that. DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BURNING MAN? It’s a week-long gathering of somewhere around 50,000 people, in the middle of a Nevada desert, that come together to socially experiment with self-expression. Everything you bring in you […]

That’s Not My Job Is A Lie

Uh-oh! I caught myself saying the wildest thing to myself the other day. I was at the sink in the bathroom and it was cluttered up with kids’ stuff, my stuff, general messiness. I caught myself thinking: 1) It shouldn’t be this way.2) Whose fault is it?3) This is NOT my job. Argh. Whose job […]

Dividing the Labor In Relationships

It’s a common misperception in relationships that things should be equal. Not so. Did that get your attention? Keep reading. Do we agree that most fights in relationships have to do with unmet expectations about who is responsible for what? (This includes keeping love, romance, trust and sex alive and thriving!) For example, you might […]

I’m Just Not Romantic and other Lies

Okay this one has some tough love in it – beware. I’m thinking your whole life is based on your theories. If you think true love is hard to find, you will probably manifest just that. If you think you can’t trust people, you will probably find it to be true. If you believe that people […]

Prove The Impossible

Recently I was upset to find that I still believe in some pretty dumb-ass theories. Namely, the thought that I am not romantic and that it’s not my job to clean up after myself. Yikes! Gross and unhelpful to my marriage right? But then I realized this is an epidemic, and everyone has his/her brand. […]

When I Was Your Age

 – When I was your age, we didn’t have cell phones or laptops.– When I was your age, we had to work for our spending money.– When I was your age, kids respected their parents.– When I was your age, I walked barefoot to and from school, uphill both ways.“When I was your age…” is […]

Integrity = Magic

Do you wish you could give yourself a little extra edge in life by having a magic wand? I say I have that wish, but, in reality, I prefer hard work and living in integrity. Here’s a fun twist, though, it turns out they go hand in hand. In fact, sometimes I find it downright […]

Dark Gives Way to Light

  To all my writers who are not writing, my health nuts who are on the couch with chips and ice cream, to all my dancers who are not dancing or my sensual people who are not touching or being touched, it’s time to get moving. It’s time. It’s hot, you’re limber, there is space in […]

Life is Better When You Clear Your Crap

I regularly lose things. This time it’s the last straw. I lost my credit card. Do you know how annoying that is? Super annoying. And I lost it because I do not take good care of my things. I am a life coach; I train other life coaches. My job is to teach people how […]

Making Sure Your Vacation Doesn’t Suck

My vacation was mostly great, but I made one mistake. First I’ll tell you what I designed well and then what I didn’t. My hope is that I catch you before you leave for your vacations and help you design them, so you maximize relaxing and having fun with your loved ones. This is an […]
