A Vow of Independence
As we celebrate Independence Day here in the United States, I find my thoughts once again dwelling on the concepts of freedom and independence. And through a series of connections, I came to this: Debbie Ford’s powerful Vow of Independence. “When you have emotional independence, you want for nothing because you have everything.” – Debbie Ford So, as Debbie shares, today is the day to join me and millions of others in taking a vow of emotional independence. Emotional independence will give you the freedom to love and be... [Read more]
Why? Because I can!
When I pay attention, I see and hear lessons I am intended to learn. I’ve experienced some wondrous reminders of the power of my thoughts to change my world… One came in the form of a visit from two friends I don’t see very often, who, like me, have experience in the world of hospitality.

And many people in my circles have played with the idea of a “word of the year” or a “theme of the year”. My coach and mentor, Heather Dominick, invited us to Claim our CVO, Core Value Offer, at the beginning of the EnergyRich Business Boot Camp. And the evolution of that word was quite an intense assignment for me and for the group. (more on that later…) So when I opened up a... [Read more]
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. Negative... [Read more]
