Nothing is more powerful than why
Beautiful someone, please enjoy this powerful excerpt from my book, Dream Come True…and Happy Spring! When we focus on “why,” “how” takes care of itself. Ask anyone who’s done the impossible why they did it, what gave them the energy to push past the roadblocks and frustrations, the destructive doubts and difficult people, and…

Out of the question!
Questions shape our thoughts and actions because our brains immediately begin to think of answers to any question we’re asked. With this kind of power, we need to be exquisitely careful about the questions we ask.

Real life magic
“Hey, I’m not totally perfect,” my friend Gia likes to say. “I’ve got this little chip in my tooth right here.” LOL, but seriously, aren’t we all a little like this: always pushing ourselves, expecting perfection?

“Failure”: A brand new view
When we find ourselves in tough situations, they become less frustrating, less likely to make us label ourselves a failure or some other negative thing if we decide we’re going to look at them as a sign that we’re growing and doing it all on purpose. Instead of allowing tough situations to bring us down,…

Who are your sandpaper people?
We’ve all got our own sandpaper people. These are the family members, neighbors, and coworkers who test our patience, demand more from us than we’re willing to give, or just generally make us crazy. Be grateful for them, beautiful someone! Honestly, their abrasive behavior is smoothing out our own rough edges and sharpening our dull…
