Our 180 Stars Our 180 Stars. A couple of years ago, my sister and her boyfriend of almost 15 years, decided to get married. They didn’t want a traditional wedding, but, rather, a simple back yard surprise wedding. My sister found some pictures of some beautiful backyard weddings and she pieced together what she wanted.

Building Self Esteem
Authenticity
Authenticity Authenticity Genuine. That is how I see authenticity. Fake. That is the opposite of authenticity. We are all genuine at times and fake at times. Why? I think it is a head and heart thing. When we come from the heart, we are authentic. When we come from the head, not so much. Our […]
When Helping Isn’t Helpful
When Helping Isn’t Helpful I have often struggled with even being able to ask for help. I used to think that it was a flaw in me. Something I needed to work on and get better at doing. I don’t think that way anymore. Too often when we ask for help from someone, support, assistance […]
My Beef with Glinda the Good Witch
“You always had the power, my dear. You just had to learn it for yourself.” ~Glinda This quote is used A LOT and it should be.

Words are the most commonly practiced way in which we currently communicate with one another and words are so often misunderstood, misused, manipulated (twisted) and by far the least effective way to communicate. Empathy, sensing, energy, feelings…these are all much simpler and reliable […]
The Man in the Mirror & The Mirror of Each Other
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 […]
Bossy, Bitchy or Leader
I first saw this image on Facebook. It was shared by a few of my female friends, all of whom are entrepreneurs. They wrote captions such as “Because I only want what is best for you.” and “See, your daughter is a leader.” Bossy, Bitchy or Leader?
