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. Within a week of her Covid diagnosis, she was gone. Patricia was a brilliant woman. One of those people that was a true writer and…

慢慢来: The Hidden Gifts in Slowing Down

Chinese have a popular saying, "man man lai." It literally translates as "slow, slow, come," but essentially means to take things slowly or to give it time. I have fought this idea my entire life. On the Move I love going fast. I love being out, exploring the world. I love moving forward. This is why living in New York…

Another Kind of V-Day

We all enter the world the same---vulnerable and clueless. From day 1, we rely on our communities to school us in who we are in relation to others, what to (not) believe, and how to go about life. At some point, we may question one or more of these stories, and that's when the magic begins. the courage to question  How…

Whole People. Whole Lives.

I recently took a risk. I added business contacts to my Facebook page and uploaded my personal blog on LinkedIn. I've always maintained a clear line between my professional life and my personal life. This seemingly simple switch came from a recent conversation I had about modern global leadership. Integrating Personal + Professional I will be the first to admit…

The “V” Word

"Courage is to tell the story of who you are with your whole heart." -Dr. Brené Brown's TED Talk I've tried to write this post several times in the past month. It started with a breakup. It took a detour with an empowering TED Talk I watched today that essentially says the people that feel the most loved and connected…

Day 151: Facing Mirrors

When I returned from my first year in China, I avoided mirrors. If I caught a glimpse of myself while washing my hands in a public bathroom, I would shake my head, look down, and walk out. It wasn't until a member of my family said, "Oh my god, what happened to your face?" did I begin to acknowledge the…

Day 95: Puzzle Pieces

I spoke with a friend the other day, and she said something quite poignant: "I've been so concerned about the missing puzzle piece in my life, that I forgot to pay attention to whether it fit or not." How often do we settle? Whether it's career, relationships, a house, a car, a school, or even a vacation, how often do…
