Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.  ― Harriet Tubman i'm excited to share this idea with you...think-ing as if. practical, doable... life change-able. we're continually think-ing as if... thinking as if we can or thinking as if we can't. our thoughts determine our actions and ultimately our results. LET'S CHECK IN How are your thoughts around a write...

when the world comes crashing at your feet it’s okay to let others help pick up the pieces if we’re present to take part in your happiness when your circumstances are great we are more than capable of sharing your pain” —Rupi Kaur   Someone I love is hurting. It's not my story to tell.  But oh my, how I wish I could help heal her heart. I wish for the right words. Something to ease the pain. All that I have, all that I know... 'i love you. i'm so sorry. i'm here. i love you.' Pain ......

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning." ― Benjamin Franklin Oh life. How I love you. One thing, one moment, leads to the next and so begins a whole other journey. I wouldn't change a thing. This week a story of falling down and eventually falling in love with the world around me. This story was originally shared in my photography class, a month of multiples, but still applicable to the 'write life' practice.   LINKS...

You have everything you need for complete peace and total happiness right now.” ― Wayne Dyer   We teach best what we most need to learn. Today, something I know in my soul, but often forget. Maybe you too? Shiny objects often call to me.... in the form of classes, tech, gear, software... The truth is, I have all I need to move forward with the next step and the next. (and repeat)   Let's check in Can you relate? Is there something your brain keeps trying to tell you.... You...

Don’t believe the storyteller, the voice of knowledge in your head, especially when the voice is going against you. Listen to yourself, listen to your story, but don’t believe it because the story you are writing is mostly fiction. It isn’t real. The lies in your story can only survive if you believe them. If you don’t believe them, they won't survive your skepticism and will simply disappear. — don Miguel Ruiz This week. I'm keeping it real and sharing the TRUTH about not showing up to the...

Every day that we wake us is a good day. Every breath that we take is filled with hope for a better day. Every word that we speak is a chance to change what is bad into something good." — Walter Mosley Here we are a new week. Ready to make it amazing? This week, a little unscripted sharing...  what's been up since my trip to France the gift of gifts time to pause, reset and be  saying YES,  receiving and giving including one of my favourite write it down gifts EVER.

In dreams, anything can be anything, and everybody can do. We can fly, we can turn upside down, we can transform into anything.  —Twyla Tharp   I'm back. Thank you for all the lovely notes asking ... 'where are you?' I'm here. Back from a chance of lifetime trip to France, where I was blessed to be a part of The Flo Show in France Workshop. My story .... best told in today's episode. So many beautiful photos too....check out the full show notes for a little peak at the flo show in...

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. —Harriet Tubman   The craziest dream is happening for me this week. There's no way I could've planned or orchestrated how it would unfold. When we dream or set big goals, it's easy to get caught up in the how.?? This can definitely keep us stuck. (most in our head.) This week, inspo to connect to your heart's desire, your...

When (fill in the blank) happens….and you’re not sure what to do. (good or bad) Open the page. Title the page with ‘the thing’ than WRITE consider ...and see what comes up. Maybe it's... consider saying yes consider saying no consider other possibilities consider this is divine timing consider this is happening for me consider a better thought consider how they feel consider things always work out What comes up? What feels good? Now Take that feel good thought into your...

Oh my word, it's been such an amazing few weeks. Ups, downs, and in-betweens. But...wow...just wow... I'm feeling so blessed.

Here's the message Karen shared. Kim this course has been so amazing! I woke my husband up this morning after I'd been working on my 10 & 1 page and he said,...

Last week I shared the story of re-scripting our trip to Seattle. This week... Oh, my word...who knew a quick trip could bring such an amazing gift. Lately, I've been feeling a little less-than-inspired. My birthday (51) didn't seem to help my mood. Then came Seattle... a 5 minute chance encounter... and oh my word the lights came on. I'm officially all-in on 51!  I've decided it's the perfect age for me to be. And, I plan on leaning all-in as I move toward making my dreams come true. ...

They say you teach what you need to learn. Don't I know it! This week I share how I needed to re-script our story around a trip to a specialist appointment for my husband John.

so this is 51 !?! who knew? when I was in my 20’s I’d answer our front door and ‘they’d ask’ is your mom home? (that bugged me) when I was thirty…i was often told you look so young. (i kinda liked that) when I turned forty…I still felt/looked quite young (for 40) (i REALLY liked that) somewhere after that, life caught up ….

God grant me the serenity  To accept the things I cannot change;  Courage to change the things I can;  And wisdom to know the difference.  What can we control? Our thoughts, emotions, actions/reactions.  What can't we control (zoom into the present moment to consider this) ? other people and circumstances outside of us. Our brain loves to dwell on the things 'outside' of our control and how they should be different. In this place, we don't have to change or take action. This keeps...
