Why Can’t We Celebrate Another’s Success?
I was saddened to see the news today about Lance Armstrong. You can read about it on his page and here. I haven’t been a follower of cycling or Lance’s career. I am however a fan of seeing people succeed. It moves me deeply to see someone achieve their dreams and for them to also…

Who’s in Your Self-Care Pit Crew?
We hear it all the time – it’s important to take care of ourselves. The airplane safety rule has become more popular outside of the plane: “Place the oxygen mask on yourself before assisting others”. We know that we are only capable of taking care of others and doing our best in life when we…

Getting Into Alignment
Recently, I had the most interesting synchronistic week. The week started out a little against my beliefs as I was working on Memorial Day. I don’t like to work on holidays but I had just taken on a marketing consulting project the week prior and we had a fast turnaround. I still do some marketing…

Accomplishment Vision Boards
I’m a big fan of vision boards. Martha Beck talks about creating a vision board for the life that you want in this recent post on Oprah.com. I’ve made a few of them for myself. As a new goal or dream becomes important in my life I may create a new board just for that…
