To be creative is to be uncertain. That’s what I found myself saying to a prospective client during a sales call last week. What’s getting in your way is your relationship to uncertainty. A person with a real flair is a gambler at heart, was how Billy Baldwin put it. Or in the words of […]

I’m in the middle of re-envisioning a website I launched back in 2009.  It was a lifestyle and inspiration site for single women and it’s how I went to school for social media, SEO, CMS, email marketing, engagement and all that geek stuff that might make some of you feel a little woozy. By the beginning of […]

Yesterday I did an intensive with a client who finished my Image 360° Mastermind in December.  She said our time spent together was a treat to herself but I reminded her it was also commitment collateral, especially because she’s got a bold goal in mind — to double her income. what goethe said For me, the last months of […]

Something in me was not letting what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School in.  Maybe it was because I felt numb looking at the picture of the young man with dead eyes.   Or maybe it was because I could feel the beginnings of a question I knew I couldn’t answer forming in the back of […]

If you know me, you also know that I’m HUGE fan of The Voice.  The former underdog in the reality, singing competition show category is putting the squeeze on American Idol after only two seasons.

So the fact that we’re thriving this year means we should say yes to every opportunity right? This week I received a lot of offers that I could definitely perceive as opportunities for expansion.  Like today, at the LA Times Travel Show, there was an opportunity to zipline across the convention room floor.  It looked […]

You know the things you always say you’re going to do, finish or get — the things that you never do. What if this year you actually did — you know — do, finish and get? What would your world look like then? What if you finally took that trip to Greece, (for me it’s […]

It’s 5:35 am and I’m awake. I don’t feel like I slept at all last night. My mind is racing with thoughts, ideas, plans — the knowingness that the pieces are coming together to create my “good”. About a year and a half ago, I remember lying awake in the same position, terrified. I was […]

Back in November my friend, celebrity make-up artist Kenetia Lee, wrote a facebook post saying survival was boring and that she had made a decision:  2012 is her year to thrive.  She asked who else was in. It only took a nanosecond before I said, YES! and shared it. Revive. Grow. Luxuriate. Prosper. Flourish. That’s […]

I started reading Noelle Hancock’s memoir My Year with Eleanor a few weeks ago because like Hancock, I’m in transition in a lot of areas of my life, and I was feeling the fear — terror actually — bubble up in my body. Hancock, depressed and confused, serendipitously comes across a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt […]
