Word of the Year

Word of the Year

2016 was about Conquering and Discovery.

2017 is about Shining and Consistency.

To me, shining means staying centered in me, in my purpose and my message. Shining means following my instincts, sharing my story, sharing my wins, sharing my struggles, sharing everything. Staying true to who I am and standing strong in that spot is what shining means to me. Being a guiding light for others. Shining through their fog and helping them make their way through the storm. That is the key to fulfill my purpose here on this earth.

Consistency is a struggle for every one. Continue reading “Word of the Year”

As you head into the New Year…

As you head into the New Year…

A good coach picks you…not the other way around.

A good coach doesn’t just jump into a deal with you just because youre ready to pay them. They don’t take your money before seeing if you’re a good fit.

A good coach is picky about who they choose to work with.

Yes, you may be hiring them and you’re the one giving them your money but to a good coach, its about more than that.

It’s just as much their decision to work with you as it is yours to work with them. Continue reading “As you head into the New Year…”

Coffee Shop Hustle and Bustle

Coffee Shop Hustle and Bustle

Coffee shop hustle and bustle. I wonder if what it is about this place. Well, not this place in particular but the coffee shop atmosphere in general. No matter what town I’m in, I can walk into a coffee shop and the vibe is the same.

There’s a creative energy in the air. Continue reading “Coffee Shop Hustle and Bustle”

Feed Your Soul

Feed Your Soul

For as long as I can remember I would think about being somewhere else. I would envision myself on a beach somewhere, totally calm and totally at peace. Or sitting on the porch of a cabin looking out over a beautiful valley, breathing in crisp mountain air. Continue reading “Feed Your Soul”

Being Selfish

Being Selfish

Learning to be SELFISH has changed everything in my life.

Yes, you read that right… SELFISH.

I spent the majority of my life always saying “YES”.
Always feeling obligated to attend everything I was invited to
Always moving around my own schedule around to better benefit someone else.
Always putting off the things I needed to do for MYSELF (ya know like grocery shopping, getting my car to the shop, showering, those sort of things were always put on the back burner) Continue reading “Being Selfish”

Fitness Bullshit…

Fitness Bullshit…

I used to bullshit about fitness every day.

Everyday it was written in my planner.

“GYM”

“CARDIO”

“YOGA”

I put it on the list Every. Single. Day.

And every single day, I skipped it. Continue reading “Fitness Bullshit…”

Intuition or crap?

Intuition or crap?

“I don’t just listen to your words.

I watch your face. I stare into your eyes. I check out your body language. I peep your tone. I make note of your use of words. I hear what you don’t say. I interpret your silences. 

Most importantly…I trust my intuition. ” 

I was looking through my Pinterest for an article last night and ran across this quote again and due to some current things running through my head it just seemed to fit so I simply shared it and went on to find the article I had been searching for. Continue reading “Intuition or crap?”

What Kind of Poster are You?

What Kind of Poster are You?

Oh the joys of social media. In my world, it is a necessary evil in order to be successful. Networking is how I keep up my business and drive to be more successful professionally and on a personal level. Although, I often find myself analyzing the different types of “posters” people are. Meaning, what someones level of participation on Facebook or Twitter says about them. Its pretty interesting actually. I have identified 7 main types of FB posters that I see most often: Continue reading “What Kind of Poster are You?”

Here’s to the rise of the “Power Couple”

Independent woman come in all shapes and sizes with various different traits that help to define them as being truly ‘independent’.

Independent woman; the concept is often misconstrued and even more often misrepresented. Independent women come in all shapes and sizes with various different traits that help to define them as being truly ‘independent’. But one thing I think that most of these woman have been faced with is men who claim to want an independent woman and then in the long wrong he can not at all handle the fact that she can truly handle things on her own. The concept that we do not need them is really not something that the majority of men can handle, no matter how much they claim that they love that trait about you. The idea of a woman wanting you to be a part of her life and wanting to share things with you just simply isn’t enough for some men and to each their own.

The House That Built Me

Grandparents I’ve seen that red maple tree outside of my grandparents patio window a thousand times at its current size, yet each time I look at it I seem surprised that it’s so big. It seems like just yesterday my grandpa was putting the landscaping bricks around its base so my grandma could pants flowers around what was then, a very small tree.
