I have been reading recently that it is a good idea to put a name for your negative talker in your head. What I read said if you put a name to her or him, you can quickly identify that it is not you, and the ability to pivot from believing the words you are… Read More
It is a funny thing, when you get an opportunity to do something you have wanted and dreamed about, the sense of gratitude is overwhelming. You almost live on a little cloud and have chills-like sensations recalling the invitation. You begin to visualize how you anticipate the opportunity to go, the success it will be,… Read More
What a hard week for the US to see unfold. Like most of you, I know one or more people in the midst of living with their new life, whatever that means. Whether that is figuring out what it means for their college student whose school is barely standing, a friend whose art gallery and… Read More
