Do you realize that the biggest fear, aside from death and public speaking (yes, that actually ranks higher than death for many people … I’ll come back to that in another blog post) is being judged (and being criticized)?
Well, I have news for you … you’re always being judged.
And …

I’m not logical.
In fact, some would even call me bat-shit crazy.
I don’t make logical decisions. Often times they seem radical, out there, or even ridiculous.
I am not linear.
I am here to “bend time” and take dynamic, quantum leaps.
To be a tree-shaker, a table-flipper, a rebel, and a light...
As I mentioned in a previous post, I took an unplanned, and much needed, sabbatical this summer. What started out as a 9-day excursion to the mountains, and some time with some beloved friends, turned into going completely “dark” for more than two months.
And, when I say “dark” … I mean fully unplugged. Off...
I needed to go off-the-grid, to go offline, to go quiet and get still, to go dark for a bit.
I was feeling old, familiar signs of frustration, fatigue, burnout … the kind I haven’t felt since my corporate days.
You see, I had recently taken on a new venture, a partnership … or, more of a collaboration, really....
I am a huge baseball fan. I’m talking crazy, obsessed, nut-type of fan. In fact, when the Chicago Cubs finally won the World Series in 2016, I lost my freakin’ mind … seriously, it was both scary and comical at the same time. I get lost in the sport, emotionally, and totally invested.
You see, baseball is in my blood.

There is something about that buildup that opens up huge creative...
Twirling, swirling, spiraling, floating … I feel like I’m doing all of these things, yet none of these truly capture my current state, as I feel like I am all over the place these days. It’s also been interesting writing again, journaling every morning, as I find the words are grateful to be expressed, and that they want space...
Recently, I have been having really vivid (sometimes lucid dreams) as if a movie is playing, and I am both watching the movie and starring in it simultaneously. I can feel the emotion of all of it, yet I also am playing witness to it as I watch it all unfold. The messages have been intense, multifaceted, and deep.
When I wake sometimes,...
Aside from my time, I view my relationships and my network as one of the most valued and treasured aspects of my life, and of my business. I believe in creating the space and demonstrating the grace to cultivate and nurture real relationships.
Simply being linked on social media, or being on someone’s email list, doesn’t ...
