I saw this quote and thought – Yes, that’s it! Mastery is a process. A journey. Not an end point. It’s about learning and growing. In the past, I had always said that I am a jack of all trades – master of none. I love to learn. My favorite shows on TV are ones…

I receive emails everyday with motivational quotes/stories. Today, I received 2 that talked about choice. This reminded me of the lyrics from the Rush song “Freewill.” At the time I first heard this song, it was a new concept to me. Choosing not to decide is a decision? Is a choice? I made a decision…

This week, I am trying something new… A message from the vault of sorts. As I get ready to attend a mastermind event with one of my mentors, Mary Morrissey, I decided to look over some previous messages. I found this one, not a blog post, an email about my New Years webinar. It mentions…

Do you ever look back on something you did or said, in the past, and think – who was that? And then think… Wow. I’ve grown a lot. I know so much more now. It’s the most natural thing in the world to want to be, do, and have more. Ah, yet do we allow…

Everyone who signed that document knew if the British won, they were signing their own death warrant. They signed it anyway. That’s how committed they were to…

I attended my nephew’s high school graduation on Tuesday night. A celebration of the end of one chapter of life. 13 years of school. And the beginning of the next chapter. The ultimate What’s Next moment. I can remember when I graduated from high school. I had already been accepted at my favorite college. I…

I invite you to close your eyes. Think of something that brings you great joy. How does that feel? Are you smiling? Take a kind glance at your typical day. How many times during the day do you feel that way? Are there times in your typical day that do not bring you joy? I…

This Sunday is Father’s Day here in the US. 111+ countries celebrate Father’s Day. My father has been gone a long time. 30 years, in fact. I still think of him and some of the things he taught me. He taught me to sail. This one is probably the most memorable and long lasting. I…
