I have been basking in the warm sun on this chilly morning, teacup in hand, looking back over my holiday time spent with friends and family. We really dove into some downtime here. Unlike I do on some breaks, I stopped work and handed myself over to 24/7 time with family––and we all had twice [...]

It was afternoon and my energy was dipping. I stepped outside, tea in hand, to take in some fresh air and immediately felt distracted from my busy thoughts. A  light rain was dripping, playing a rhythmic melody on the leafy iron plants below the roof’s edge.
I took in the sounds, smell and beautiful green hues [...]

Stephen Covey once said, “One word expresses the pathway to greatness: voice. Those on this path find their voice and inspire others to find theirs.”
In my experience, solo-flying women need to find two voices: their outer voice and their inner voice. The outer voice seems to get the most attention, but it’s the inner voice [...]

This is it— the last day of your inbox detox!
You’re so close now. Once you’ve completely emptied folders 1, 2 and 3, you’re left with your 30-Day folder to scrub.  Consider the following two options:
1. If you’re ready to “select all” and “delete,” woohoo—go for it!
2. If you lock-up when you think about erasing this [...]

It’s that time of year!
And it’s easy to find you’ve added so much more to your days in an attempt to bring joy to others. But extreme exhaustion doesn’t always have to roll in with the new year…
Even if you are hosting a houseful of people for the holidays (and they stay for a week), [...]

For just a couple of weeks a year, the leaves rain down in colors here, and I delight in picking them up. I gather handfuls of these sunny yellow, burnt umber, mocha, red and toasted orange “jewels.” Like treasured seashells from a beach, I pick and choose as I walk along, crunching an autumn tune [...]
