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…

Lessons in Rejection

Rejection Therapy has been a roller coaster, and I'm absolutely loving it (well, mostly). In my 2 weeks of rejection, I've been told "no" and "yes" countless times. As I mentioned in my first post, Rejection Therapy: Week One, I'm using Rejection Therapy as a catapult for pursuing my longstanding dreams. It's also served as daily in-the-moment motivation to ask for…
