What is the working title of the book? From Type-A to Type-ME: Daily Habits for an Empowered Life Where did the idea come from for the book? I wanted to share my experience of changing my life from an unhappy stressaholic to finding joy and power through Awareness, Acceptance, Alternatives, and Action. What genre does […]
I love the coincidences of the universe. These coincidences may seem random and unconnected but eventually if one puts the pieces together great insight and support can be found in these coincidences. The coincidences I am talking about are the times when we say, “Isn’t that weird?” or “What are the chances?” or “Wasn’t it lucky this happened?” Over the years I learned that these are not coincidences but Spectacularly Perfect Events (SPE) as I call them, sent to guide us down the right path.
If I had a dollar for every time I said or heard the phrase “I hate sales,” I would be a very rich woman. I have said it myself. I have heard my clients say it. I think it stems from years and years of a sales attitude based on the salesperson serving themself. The […]
Imagine driving. Imagine an object hitting your car. Imagine an accident. Imagine your assailant driving away, abandoning you in your pain. Imagine almost losing your life due to a teenager’s prank. Imagine this happening to you, a loved one, or your child. How would you feel when you met them in court? Would you ask […]
I watched a wonderful film the other day, Opening Our Eyes: Global Stories about the Power of One. The movie shows individuals all across the world and close to home who are making a difference. Whether they are opening orphanages and schools in Nepal, providing clean water in Peru, or helping the teen homeless population […]
I was born invisible. Not in that cool superhero kind of way, but in the hiding of my true self way.

Perhaps through loss they detached from others and life […]
Instead of using the standard textbook business procedure for branding, I really dug deep to uncover brand me. This time would be different. This time I would take the risk to expose my true self without fear of rejection. For I had learned for everyone who rejects me, there are many others who find my personal viewpoint and attitude refreshing.
I recently heard a CEO speak about how he took an investor’s one million dollars, bought some real estate, and repaid the investor completely plus a thirty percent return on investment within five to seven years. This was no small feat in the current challenging economy. It is incredible to see small businesses taking chances […]
When we can step out of our point of view, our emotions, and our expectations to see a situation from another’s point of view it is powerful. We now have a clearer idea of intent. We have an idea about what the other person is looking for or fearing might happen. We have the objective understanding of another’s pain and issues. And we now have the ability to work through the true issue, not the story we are making up about the issue. We become empowered by seeing and addressing the true issue and not our imagined scenario. The next time there is an issue at home or work try using compassionate objectivity and notice the difference in your experience and the results.

Michelangelo’s Prisoners in Stone represent our true selves stuck and stifled and trapped. By chipping away what is not us, we can be released into a joy-filled, authentic, purposeful life.
