For the longest time I thought I had no creative talents as it seemed we were recognizing the artists, the painters, the musicians, intellectuals and those who were identified as the experts, top performers and being intelligent. We have been celebrating the wrong things and closing doors. Often the creatives have been those that created works of art and a select identified few within our teams and organizations.  Through this lens, and similar lens of only identifying top performers, so many were missed. And organizations wondered why  people were quiet quitting and leaving their teams and organizations. This... Continue Reading

Hi folks, here is Chapter 1 of my novel, Enchanting Treve. This novel represents so much as it is told from the perspective of three strong women who are doing their best to live their lives to the fullest in the face of life’s challenges. It is also a journey down memory lane for those of us who grew up in the country or who visited family who lived in the country when we were kids. With this novel I held nothing back – it brought the tears as well as the joys of those days into sharp relief. The intense struggles we face as we progress through the phases of our lives, with their pleasant,... Continue Reading

Arthur C. Brooks and Oprah Winfrey have written a thought-provoking book together. It’s called Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier. Yep. There are other books on how to get happy. Why is this one different? One of the many things I enjoy about this content is that Brooks and Winfrey share that happiness isn’t a feeling, it’s a direction. They invite us to consider getting happier as a process we can activate each day. That changes the game. They also invoke the power of three and discuss what research has determined as the three powerful factors that contribute... Continue Reading

It’s better to change 10 things by 1% than one thing by 10% Dr. Tara Swart In a recent interview, author and neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart describes how she considers the Law of Attraction, and, in particular, a vision board. She considers it as an activity log. She notes that it’s not enough to simply create the dream…it’s also necessary to action the dream. I believe this is a beneficial and action-oriented way of making your dreams work for you. At some point, your dream must transform into a goal. This means that you must begin to map out the steps to achieving it. This can... Continue Reading

Today I asked myself…What is the formula for unhappiness? Always seeking, never finding. Always learning, never knowing. To find it is to know it. To know it is to live it. Simple. If that’s so, then why do we struggle to be happy? Your life doesn’t contradict your words or circumstances. What you live is what you know for sure… Do you like what you see? The stories you tell? No excuses, no regrets, no illusions. These are what you must eliminate. What will you find after this process of negation? Consider yourself as a work in progress. Progress is something colored beautiful. The... Continue Reading

It’s interesting to observe how the holiday season can make us feel more alone. For those of us who feel its bite instead of its embrace, the idea that we “should” be happy, prosperous, and share meals surrounded by friends and family feels like a fairy tale. Even when we do enjoy rewarding relationships, engage in our holiday rituals, and have the pleasure of the company of friends and family, many times, it’s a fairy tale as well because our friends complain or get too drunk or share too much personal information and our family is often more challenging than pleasurable…so we pretend.... Continue Reading
