How Can I…?
Funny how the universe works…when I’m paying attention, listening and opening myself up to the messages and lessons I’m meant to hear. Even if it is over and over again! You see, even though I’ve spent many years making personal development a priority in my life and I’ve developed a self-care practice that I know keeps me grounded, AND supports me to live a life I love, I have to admit that sometimes I allow myself to wallow in my old bad habits and tune into noise and distraction rather than to inspiration.

From the office of Oprah Winfrey, an Exclusive Invitation…
Thursday, as I casually glanced through my mail, something unusual caught my eye…a pretty pinkish envelope. As I looked at it a little more closely, I realized that the cover read From the Office of Oprah Winfrey, Exclusive Invitation For: Nanette Saylor. And my heart skipped a beat. An invitation from Oprah for me? I’m not embarrassed to share with you that Oprah has been on my list of people I would most like to meet for a few years.

My authentic self is my most creative self, and yet, seemingly in contradiction to my mission, I am a successful operations manager now committed to the life of an entrepreneur as a business consultant. As I counted my blessings in 2008 and set goals for 2009 I kept hearing the question – how do I honor and integrate my creative side with the discipline I know it takes to grow a small business and to lead a fulfilled and happy life?...

When is technology just too complicated? or is it?
OK, so I’m struggling today…I can’t seem to do the simplest things regarding my technology. And it just shouldn’t be that complicated, right? All I want to do I change the template for this blog, and everywhere I look the information seems to be either in a foreign language, or I can’t find the place to try to implement what they are telling me. UGH! Or is it that today I’m just “blocked”? and I’m tripping on myself just because… and maybe, I’m using my technology “challenges”... [Read more]
