The Power of Saying “Yes”

In a world full of "no's," and "not enough's," why is it so important that we start saying "yes" to ourselves? We all live with choice. What choices are you making?  If you truly said "yes" to yourself in every aspect of your life, what would that look like? What would saying "yes" to yourself look like today? And not "yes"…

The “A” Word

Long ago, I wrote a post called the "V" Word. It explored Brené Brown's talk on vulnerability and its integral part in leading a whole-hearted life. Today I'm dropping the "A" bomb, a word and emotion that for many of us, especially women, is a "dirty" word. I'm Angry! Why Am I Angry? This anger has been building up inside…

Last Words

I spoke to my friend on Christmas day. We spoke of reconnecting, her editing my book, and a socially-distanced get together when I was back in town. Yesterday, I found out that she had passed.

We Need a Leader

I woke up to a message from my friend that struck me. She said, "What I feel the whole BLM is missing is that leader to speak for us. We don't have a MLK or a Malcom X right now."

What is Worth Rushing Back To?

Untold Stories

My favorite part of travel is hearing people's stories. You just never know who someone is until you learn more about their life. On a trip not so long ago, I sat next to a woman who was on a plane to New York for a funeral.

On the surface, it would have seemed that this woman and I had nothing in common. I'm not even sure how we started talking, but over the course of our 2-hour flight, I learned about her life, her family, and most importantly, the recent death of her infant son. She shared with me…

My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and to all those that were close to him. What struck me most about watching SoulPancake's video about his last days was how Zach chose to live.
