I am quite often reminding my coaching clients to stay focused and not multi task and to not listen to negative tapes in their head. I gave myself a reminder why on Friday. I have a major dog show coming up soon, and I thought it would be fun to camp out rather than stay in [...]

“Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the cruise to nowhere!! We have just left the dock and there should be an ocean current picking us up at any moment. I don’t know where we will be going but if this leads us into that hurricane, hang on for a wild ride and we will end up [...]
Your Most Important Conversations

Who do you talk to the most every day? Your spouse? Your children? The boss? Your dog? The answer is that we spend the majority of time talking to ourselves. From the time we wake up in the morning, we have conversations running in our mind. Are you aware of how those conversations influence your [...]

Did you make a New Year’s Resolution this year? If so you had a lot of comapny! Approximately 88% of Americans made resolutions. Unfortunately, by the end of the first week of January, 28% will have broken that resolution. 68% will be done within the first 3 months of the new year! Only 15% of [...]

How many of you are familiar with learning from horses? Probably not many, but it is a great form of training. It was recently featured on NPR much to my surprise. They were at a program in upstate New York. The lead in was “A new way to train corporate executives and it involves horses!” [...]

We are all used to hearing everyone talk about their New Year’s Resolutions, which are generally not achieved, but there is a second time of year when I hear people again saying they are ready to make a change. It’s Springtime! I believe that as we see Mother Nature making her transformation, we believe in [...]
Spring Fever!

Has anyone else caught a major case of Spring Fever? Today was a beautiful day and I only have one small pile of snow left to melt so I made a trip to Home Depot to just get some potting soil so I could get ready to plant some lettuce seeds. That was when the [...]
Stretch Your Comfort Zone

How many of you actually try to stretch your comfort zone in some way each day? As you may have noticed, I haven’t written a new post in a while. The reason? Writing is definitely a stretch of my comfort zone. I am happy to talk my way through any situation. But write? I dig my [...]

I would like to thank Becky for her great suggestion regarding shopping. Making a list before heading out will not only help you when you are shopping, but it can also keep you in your budget. It is so easy to get caught up in the shopping frenzy especially if we have a credit card [...]
