Could you be saying “No” to Joy? Mercury Retro & the Quality of Your Life
Many of us live in a very small room in our lives… and I don’t mean a NYC studio apartment! I’m talking about keeping yourself “small”, never getting “too excited”, “too passionate”, “too much”, to avoid feeling disappointed.

Your Ticket Out of “Crappy-Land” – Get Through a Bad Day

Are You Enough? Know Your Value
Too few of us know what “value” we bring to the world and are trapped by our Saboteurs into believing we are somehow “not enough”.

Creating the “Just Right” Life Balance…
Did Goldilocks Know Something We Don’t? When I was 6, I captivated an audience with my heartfelt performance as Goldilocks in my Grammar School’s production of “Goldilocks & The Three Bears”.

Where are you?
Where were you when you opened this blog post? Not physically, I’m talking about in your head, in your heart. Were you here, in this moment? Or were you somewhere in the future, or in the past? A few days ago I was on my way to visit my Mom in the hospital (she’s home…
Stepping Into the Light – Working with Your Sun Sign
Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself.”— Desiderius Erasmus Working from my home office requires a great deal of self-motivation. There are times when I find myself slipping into a lonely space and I lose focus; or worse my Saboteur (you know that nasty inner voice that whispers mean things in your ear)…
