This has been a crazy time for me. I work retail and I basically just become an eating, sleeping, and retailing machine for the six weeks before Christmas. Then life gets back to normal. I’m not proud to have fallen off on my exercise and writing goals BUT I am proud of how excited IContinue reading “Five Tips to Actually Freakin’ Make Your Dreams a Reality”

How to Tune Out the Noise
I recently led a class about ‘How to Reevaluate Your Life’. Some readers will remember that I’ve talked about this topic a couple of times before and so I felt pretty confident. I printed handouts, talked for over an hour, and thought I’d covered my bases pretty well. Then — during the Q & AContinue reading “How to Tune Out the Noise”
The Defining Moment of Your Life
Welcome to Awesomeville Population: YOU I’ve been MIA from my blog for a little while, for a few reasons: I’ve been launching a website for ‘How to Come Alive‘ (see last post) I’ve been hitting it hard in terms of exercise, eating right, cleaning, and novel writing (more on that soon) I wasn’t sure what toContinue reading “The Defining Moment of Your Life”
How to Get There From Here: The Beginner’s Guide to Goal Setting
When you have a dream, it sneaks around the edges of your consciousness, coming to the forefront of your mind in the oddest times — in the shower, listening to radio interviews, when someone asks ‘What do you do?’ But how do you cross over from a dreamer to a doer?

THE ‘WHAT THE HECK DO I DO NOW?’ LIST: HOW TO REEVALUATE YOUR LIFE — PART 2

This is the next step, about answers. That quote scared me. I have plans — but I always have plans. And I’ve beenContinue reading “THE ‘WHAT THE HECK DO I DO NOW?’ LIST: HOW TO REEVALUATE YOUR LIFE — PART 2”
The Things That Make You Scared Are the Things That Make You Dream
Since Black Friday, I have been working hard every day to launch myself forward toward the life of my dreams. Exercising, yoga, and especially doing a lot of writing (it is my passion and life’s purpose after all!). What I didn’t plan on, was how freaking scary it was going to be. It’s scary. It’sContinue reading “The Things That Make You Scared Are the Things That Make You Dream”
My Perfect Year
Instead of waiting a month for the traditional New Year’s Day goals and resolutions, I began my most ambitious plan ever on Black Friday. Why Black Friday? Because I work retail (and have for 11 years) and no day sums up the craziness, the exhaustion, and the crying that makes up working in a ‘bigContinue reading “My Perfect Year”
Your Lifetime Goals — What’s on Your List?
Two weeks ago I got inspired and made a Pinterest board of my 101 lifetime goals (I don’t care much for the term ‘bucket list’). See my complete list here. At first, I was going to keep my list a ‘secret’ board, so no one else could see it (I was afraid some of my writingContinue reading “Your Lifetime Goals — What’s on Your List?”
And Now Introducing… The Point System!
