Goals can be overwhelming sometimes, especially if you have too many going on at once. One of the biggest hurdles is actually getting started. Sometimes once a goal gets underway something happens and then suddenly you’re not working on your goal anymore. That’s when you have to take notice what’s stopping you. Identifying what distractsContinue reading “What’s Stopping You?”

This post is about letting go. This is a hard one because most of us love to hang onto things like our life depends on it. In some way it actually does. It’s the person we’ve become that doesn’t want to let go because that means letting go a part of ourselves. The art ofContinue reading “The Art of Letting Go”

You can’t have kindness without cruelty, day without night, peace without war, and love without hate. Life is about duality. You can’t appreciate one until you’ve experienced the other. Whenever you’re going through hard times remember there’s a light you need to appreciate and that is why you are going through what you are goingContinue reading “The Power of Duality”

Tony Gaskins once said, “You teach people how to treat you by what you allow, what you stop, and what you reinforce.” I used to be bothered by this quote because I always thought you shouldn’t have to teach people to respect you and be kind to you. I believed everyone should already know commonContinue reading “Reinforce What You Want”

Lao Tzu once wrote, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. This is true for anything you want to do in life. All it takes is for you to begin your first step. When I was going for my undergrad in Theater we performed “How to Succeed in Business Without ReallyContinue reading “One Step at a Time”

Today I want to talk about getting off the merry-go-round. You know that cycle part of your life where everything becomes routine, the same ole same, different day but same thing? It’s time you do yourself a favor and step off that circular ride, especially the one that no longer thrills you. I’ve lived throughContinue reading “Get Off the Merry-Go-Round”

Learning to create boundaries is tough. It’s even tougher when you once allowed something to happen for so long and then you realize you don’t want to allow that to happen anymore. People get angry when you create a new boundary or move the boundary line. Don’t worry about those people. They will eventually getContinue reading “Setting Boundaries”

Today I’d like to talk about the importance of healing. We often move from one scenario to the next or from one relationship to the next. We never give ourselves enough time to heal and fully process what we endured. We can not completely fly until our wings are fully mended. I’ve endured my shareContinue reading “Staying in My Cocoon”

I’ve struggled with forgiveness all my life. Being unforgiving is like hitting your head with a hammer thinking you’re hurting the person who did you wrong. Let it go! I know forgiveness seems like you are telling that person it’s okay the way they treated you when it was entirely uncalled for on what theyContinue reading “The Power of Forgiveness”

Tonight I attended a networking event. I made quite a few connections that were very helpful with my current focus, which is me. I connected with business entrepreneurs from the health and wellness industry, the entertainment field, financing world, and marketing gurus. It got me to thinking that one truly can’t thrive on their ownContinue reading “Network to Selfwork”

Today this post is about finding me. I’ve spent most of my life seeking happiness elsewhere. I’ve bounced from one relationship to another over the years. I’ve sought approval and acceptance from others. I have poured myself into my studies and my career. I have bought clothes, jewelry, home decor, and other luxuries that amountedContinue reading “Finding Me”

You’ve got goals for the New Year. Every one usually does. This one is going to be different though because it will be 2020! You will be writing 2020 every day for some reason or another. When you write it let the 2020 year remind you to maintain that 20-20 vision of your goals youContinue reading “Maintain that 20-20 vision for 2020”

Weekly, daily, hourly,  minute by minute. For the New Year, here’s a new diet to follow:Cut out all of the negativeContinue reading “New Eating Plan for the Mind”

Hello Butterflies, Some of you may remember my vow from 2014 to go Unplugged.  While I set my bar high to not watch TV or entertain myself electronically for the entire year, I must confess that I didn’t reach my goal.  Before the thirty lashings begin, let me say that I’m happy I didn’t keepContinue reading “Confessions of a New Year’s Resolution Breaker”
