Get this! Sometimes there’s a big tug of war between FEAR of Failure and FEAR of Success, and ultimately you may just give in because you’re so exhausted and unsure which side to take. The REALITY is you don’t need to take either side. Unless, you want to let FEAR run your life, strip you of your sense of worth and passion for life, and then drag you into the ground and mud! That’s absolutely not for the Courageous & Remarkable one like you!

Perhaps you’re one of those people who wouldn’t know what to do if all your dreams came true – if you got everything you ever desired in your life, career, and relationships. Maybe you’re concerned about the sense of responsibility that comes with success. It feels [Continue Reading...]

Failure can actually be your greatest teacher, only if you allow it to be. Heartbreak. Self-Sabotage. Not Making the Sports Team. Not Getting a Call Back for a Second Audition. Below Expectations Rating on Performance Review. Missed Promotion or Opportunities. Unsuccessful Business Venture. Resistance is Failure because you are not Embracing Change. Lack of Dedication, Focus, Passion, and Commitment is also Failure. Because you are not showing up entirely to give your most powerful authentic self to those that need you to serve them.

Sometimes we have to be up against the wall or practically on our knees begging for a better way before we are ready for the next step. Though, you don’t have to get to this extreme level of frustration or disappointment to make the [Continue Reading...]

Just when I’m feeling confident and reconnected to who I am and what I bring to a relationship, I then start to get some anxiety. I don’t understand because I’ve released the need to be too attached to the outcome and getting too far ahead of myself. Somehow, that doesn’t matter, because the stakes are higher this time. I’m starting to feel emotionally invested in this relationship and everything changes.

I’m worried about messing it up and making the same mistakes I’ve made in my past relationships. I’m worried about if I match the criteria on his checklist for a life partner.

Oh, my goodness, I’ve got to calm down and get a grip on this anxiety before it gets the best of me and ruins this relationship. Breathe, run, [Continue Reading...]

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...]
