GET WHAT YOU WANT-THE MINDSET. Chapter 1. Know what kind of eggs you like. The book is nearly finished. I’ve submitted the 40 page book proposal and query letters to several well chosen literary agents. (Thank you Alisia Leavitt, my literary fairy godmother <3). While you’re waiting for the full Monty, you can catch excerpts and useful…
You’re enough. Even if you don’t believe it yourself.
You are good enough, smart enough, lovely enough, resourceful enough. I promise. I have battled much of my life with feeling “not good enough”. It doesn’t matter why. The feeling was persistent and deep in my bones. It still tries to take over my ambition occasionally. One day, I looked for proof to support this…
Are you the leader or a bystander in your life?
The difference? Leaders understand that they’re in charge of making things happen. If they don’t like something, they change it. Simple as that. As a leader, you understand that you call the shots. You ask questions and get answers. You support others because you are supported. Everyone else (your attorney, accountant, boss, coworkers, partner, friends)…
Stuck sucks.
I’ve been there. I’m familiar with that particular suckage. I’ve been stuck in a cubicle in what I thought was my dream job but instead was energy-draining and at the end, glorified dictation taking- while someone else was spending all day with my baby and I wasn’t making enough money to put a dent in…
You Don’t Know Shit…And Why That’s Good News!
If we can’t see “how” something can be, we dismiss it from what we think is possible. Wow, that’s pretty pompous!

Don’t be one of them.
You will encounter people who will try to make you less than you are, offer you less than you deserve and try to get you to settle for less than you want. Don’t be one of them. You may already be in the rut of settling, tolerating and putting up with a job where they…
Where the f*ck is my self-esteem?
There is no one certain age when our self-esteem takes a hike. If only it were even ball park predictable, when it will happen, like learning to walk or losing our first tooth. If only parents could anticipate it and guide us through it. Or if it happens as an adult, if we knew in…
SMALL STEP, BIG RESULTS!
Small steps can create big results. The most important small step you can take toward a dream, a goal and creating a life you love is to focus on what you do want, rather than on an absence of what you don’t want. When you think about what you would change about your life, you…
He just graduated!
Last week I wrote a post called Helping My Kid… where I shared a little bit about the struggles my son has had, beginning in kindergarten, because of a learning disability we later found out is an auditory processing disorder. He had trouble learning his letters in kindergarten and had difficulty learning to read as…
