Scary? For sure. But I’m guessing it’s also life-affirming and exhilarating.

You are not in danger if someone doesn’t like your haircut, your ideas or even you.

What really matters is how much time it takes you to return to your confident self.

I am comfortable being me, because I know I am enough. And so is everyone else.

I wasn’t teaching a class at 3 am, I was helping leaders to be better at leading, to feel supported in their new role.

Spending time doing nothing but thinking about you; it’s hard work but it’s the real work of your life.

What if it’s all in the story we tell ourselves? What if how we navigate through our life is more about how we describe it?

The trick is to catch yourself in a negative thought as you’re thinking it, and then call it out for the lie that it is.

Not only is this much more enjoyable, but it’s also easier to attract people I want in my life.

I’ve just been listening to some podcasts about bravery for my upcoming Podcast Club meeting. Jon Acuff mentioned that bravery is more...

I had to stare down that doubt and the doubter. I had to have just enough belief (or fear) to take that first step.

It's a story about how this insouciant, impish, expectant little 5-year-old girl became this confident, successful woman.

I got my report on how my blog is doing and discovered that NO ONE opened my blog email this past month...yikes! That's embarrassing. But...

Do ask yourself how this particular thing could actually be a gift to you.

“No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you."

I’m lucky enough to have had a role model who modeled grace under pressure for me. They never overreacted.

I’ve often thought about why we ignore obvious messages, ones that could have dire consequences.

What messages have you been getting lately? Are you paying attention?

A far better choice is to turn our attention to what IS working in our lives, what’s good and pure, what makes us happy, what’s ahead of us.

Consider the beauty of asking for more from a place of contentedness.
