Alright, I’ll admit to it, even after being somewhat reluctant to adding something else to my hectic lifestyle and to making another daily commitment; I’ve become obsessed with Green Juice! And I’m having a serious love fest with it!

That’s right “Fiber Queen” is making her way to becoming “Green Juice Queen”. Who would have thought that this could be such an adventure and so much fun? Everything from going to the market to selecting a variety of veggies, fruits, herbs, and roots, to figuring out how to prep a piece of ginger and beet, to all the abundant and creative recipes of green juicing/smoothies! Of course, I had to ask my sister, Amanda, for help on what to do with ginger root and the beet. Wow, there was so much [Continue Reading...]

If you’re anything like me and have moments of feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, obsessed over the right approach and the end result, well I’ve got a secret for you to rock your world and give you back your liberation! However, before I get into this secret, let me share a work moment that recently happened.

Just a few weeks ago, I had an employee come down seriously annoyed about a coworker interaction she just had, and as a result, she was refusing to collaborate with this coworker any longer. It was definitely a case of a personality conflict/miscommunication. As in any HR employee relations matter, I allowed the employee to tell me what brought her down, asked her the appropriate questions and listened to what she had to say. We had [Continue Reading...]

When life isn’t quite happening the way you expect or want it (e.g., a relationship, a job opportunity or making a sports team), it can be frustrating, particularly if it seems that everyone else around you is living the life you want. Let me share, I have been there myself many times. Of course, this has lead to me search for answers to make sense of the situation by asking why and what can I do differently next time?

Well, I’m here to tell you that you’re not alone and I’m here for you. So let me share some insights, strategies, resources, and encouragement that have helped me gain clarity and move past my self-limiting beliefs that were holding me back.

Ziplining Adventure in Monteverde, Costa Rica - GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour - 12/2012. Facing my fears, Letting go of what is holding me back in life & Embracing the moment at the highest cable of 540 ft above a mountain valley for 1km distance!! I did it!

Monkey see, Monkey do in Monteverde, Costa Rica! From witnessing monkeys hanging in the trees right outside our hotel doors, to Ziplining through the canopy tree tops high above the mountain valleys like fearless monkeys. This was how one of our most adventurous mornings began and ended on our trip!

Ziplining was so exhilarating and liberating, although I had a moment when I didn’t think I could continue on. Truth be told, I was definitely more nervous seeing the distance I had to go rather than the actual height, while waiting on the platform for my turn.

I started to get heart palpitations, while standing out on the zipline platform at cable #6, with only moments away from it being my turn. My most terrifying fear was getting stuck out in the middle from breaking [Continue Reading...]
