In my former life (several years ago), I used to keep my feelings to myself for three main reasons. First, I was afraid that people would judge me. Next, I was afraid that if I told someone how I felt about the way they were treating me, it would hurt their feelings. Lastly, and worst [...]

No pain, no gain, right?
The other day I was out walking on the local trail with my dogs. About a quarter of the way into the walk, I began feeling a prickly sensation in my left shoe. I soon realized that there must be a thorn in my sock. I focused on it for a minute or so, wishing [...]
You Get to Choose…so what is it?
I distinctly remember the first time I heard someone tell me that I was the owner of my thoughts. That little piece of information hit me like a ton of bricks AND it has helped me completely transform my life. Who knew that every day, every moment and in every instance, I get to choose [...]
The Joy of Comfort Food
At the end of 2011, I distinctly remember proclaiming 2012 as the year of amazing things to come. I had no idea back then that “amazing things” would mean encountering challenge after challenge.

Geneen Roth Rocks It At IIN’s Mega Conference
I first learned about Geneen Roth in the early 1990’s – right in the midst of a personal war with my weight. I remember hiding Geneen’s book so that nobody would find out that I was a compulsive eater. And I remember reading her book thinking, “Is she crazy? I can’t possibly learn how to [...]

Winter Cleaning
For the past few years I’ve been cleansing my body about four times per year. Typically I engage in a cleanse during the change of seasons as I find this to be the perfect time for detoxing the body. This year I started the new year off with a mild 7-day cleanse. I always feel [...]
