I get really tired of the number of articles written on these two personality traits and the implications that the only thing that exists between these two is toxicity. Not true. It can be toxic but only if you follow the normal or conditioned ideology of the relationship between these two. The truth is that they need each other. Let's...

This has been something that I am getting pretty good at doing. Emotions are all about movement. Stirring, moving, agitation and strong feeling are all used in the etymology of the word emotion. So why the hell do we try to suppress, control, manage and avoid them? Stop doing that! Learn about them. I recently wrote about the so called...

I was at a training a few weeks ago and the instructor used these two words, context and calibrated, when we were discussing connecting meaning together. This blew my mind! Early this year I wrote about Assessment Tests and my general disliking of them. Context and calibrated connected the dots for me as to why I dislike them. The problem...

Sadness, anger, panic, scared, anxious, envy, hate. . . Nope. Not me. Don't have any of those. Don't want any of those. I am positive and happy. Don't send that poison my way. Honor, conviction, fairness, energy, focus, task completion, awareness, vision, release, relaxation, instinct, intuition... Yep. That's me. I want more of those. I am positive and happy. Give...

I’m starting with the man in the mirror I’m asking him to change his ways No message could have been any clearer If you wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make the change  ~Michael Jackson This song will pump me up every time I hear it and I do believe it was...

Campaigning About You? Is it possible for candidates to run a campaign without talking (I use this term lightly) about why I shouldn't vote for the other? Can we envision a new way to campaign? Could any of us really "sell" ourselves without any regard to another? In the fall of 1976, I was a 6th grade student in elementary...

I think and write a lot about trusting your gut, your intuition or your feelings. It can be tricky trying to figure out if you have it right. I am not talking about right or wrong, just if you are aligned with what is right for you at this moment. (more…)

  Ever notice that if you or someone you know gets a new car that you "suddenly" see so many of that same car? Why is that? Was there some huge sale on that model car? Interesting, isn't it? (more…)

I have always preferred guy friends over girl friends. Mainly because I hate bullshit or, more specifically, fake bullshit. That doesn't mean guys don't bullshit, but they pretty much let you know they are bullshitting you from the start. Girls, not so much. They dress it up, put lipstick on it,  and parade it around -- all while claiming it...

Yep, if you are the one begging. Know why? It is because you didn't have the courage to start a conversation. You let the fear of thinking that the other person would never give you what you want, so you take it. Wrong, just wrong. You would probably be the first person going off if someone did this to you....

We all exude and absorb energy and we all are more naturally adept to one or the other. Whichever one isn't natural for you, that is where your work is. Since I absorb, I am writing this from my point of view. I mean no disrespect to those that exude, rather the contrary. I know that all of my absorbing...

Someone manipulating me into something they believe is best for me is the number 3 thing that pisses me off pretty quickly. Seriously? You think you know me better than I do? Especially if that someone is a person that holds a degree, certificate or position that they think entitles them to fix me, with or without my permission. (more…)

Who doesn't like a well stocked pantry and refrigerator? It is a wonderful thing to never hear, "We are out of toilet paper. Use a paper towel." The thing is, we over buy. We buy so much that we simply don't need and we most certainly will never use. And this goes way beyond toilet paper and dried pasta. We...

Pretty catchy title, don't you think? Guess who I need to credit for this phrase? Not our 10-year-old boy (or the 21 year old;-), but our family doctor. When we first heard her say this, we giggled (as I am sure you did too, as would the 10 and 21 year old). The thing is, it is something that has...
