Today I want to talk to you about how to use this Covid-19 crisis to your own advantage. I know that might sound a little strange.
You may be extremely worried about how you're going to pay your rent or mortgage, how you’re going to put food on the table. Those are really valid concerns.
Read MoreMy goal for this series is to help you become aware of where you might be stopping yourself from going for your dreams and desires. By bringing that awareness up so that you can see, “Gosh, I am doing that and I would really rather not. I'd rather choose something else.”
Read MoreResearchers tell us that human beings think about 60,000 thoughts a day, and about 80% of them are “negative”. That means almost 40,000 negative thoughts per day are dripping through your system — your mind, your body, your emotions, and your spiritual self. Most of those thoughts are judging thoughts.
Read MoreSome of the most successful business owners I know communicate with their business regularly.
Sound strange?
Do you wonder why they do that and how?
What the business people who talk to their business tell me is that their business is an entity with intelligence and desires of its own. When they communicate with and listen to their business, they get new ideas and perspectives they would not have gotten without asking.
Read MoreHere’s your next step to create a clear and compelling message for your business.
Before you even start taking any of these steps, you want to think about what the people you serve want. What do they want – not what they need?
Read MoreRecently a friend whom I hadn’t seen in years said to me, “I’ve been reading your emails and something has changed recently. I am now feeling drawn into what you are writing. What has changed?”
Read MoreIf you are on Facebook, you’ve likely seen the many “Me too” posts shared there – to date there have been 1,400,000 of them. The point of these posts is to focus attention on how much sexual harassment, assault, and abuse women experience. Each post makes my heart ache. And when a beloved younger relative posted, “Me too”, I cried.
Read MoreWhat was your response to the US Presidential Election on November 8th? Were you elated that people had voted for change? Were you shocked that Trump won? Did you feel fear, uncertainty, or anger? Whatever your response, you know that change is afoot for us all. And your response may still be reverberating through your body and spirit.

I've known her for years, and we were talking because she is at a new beginning in her business. She's a brilliant businesswoman and has been quite successful in the past.
