If you see nice, then say nice!
When you put yourself on stage (or anywhere, really) - you put yourself in a position to be judged. No matter how hard you try, how much you want to please, how much you do or give, some people won't be happy. Period. Over the last 15 years, I have had...

Have you ever been in the margin?
When you are at an event and walk into a big room alone and see groups of people chatting, how do you feel? Are you pumped, jazzed and excited to meet new people and/or reconnect with people you know? Are you wanting to run far and fast away, with visi...

Love it or hate it, Valentine's Day is a thing. Today I am writing my first love letter. To myself. Dear Me, I'm not perfect but I am still pretty great. In my own little corner of the world, I try my best to make it better and spread positivity. I ...

Have you experienced 'potentiability' yet?
There is a space in time that no one talks about much. It can be very short or it can seem entirely too long. It can cause a plethora of emotions. It can be incredibly uncomfortable for many people and a source of excitement for others. It can be phys...

Who Needs Another List?
How do you feel about To-do lists? Some people love them and the shot of dopamine that they get when they cross something off. Yes, I may have written something on my list once or twice that I had already done so that I could check it off right away!...

Open Heart 'Surgery'
I'm fortunate to be in Mexico, up in the mountains, with the locals, able to practice my very rudimentary Spanish - it's very far from my norm; by day I love the local vibe and at night I see the sunset, the twinkling lights of the city below and somet...

Changing my WOTY!
Typically, I enjoy choosing a WOTY (word of the year), at the beginning of a new year but for some reason this year, I'm pretty excited about having a WOTQ (word of the quarter) even though the acronym does quite roll off the tongue the same way. Th...

What's your Y.I.D.E.?
What's your Y.I.D.E.? My friend, Maurice, calls it his Y.I.D.E., his Year Inspiring Defining Event (some call it a Misogi, same idea). It is a very special event (not a thing) that starts and finishes within the year, jazzes you up, requires thought an...

It's all Unicorns & Rainbows, right?
You must never get angry. I've read that, or a variation of such, on many evaluation forms. It seems when you make your living as a 'motivational speaker' some people are under that impression. Fair enough. I do try hard to be happy, optimistic, and...

The Power of the Shower!
I'm in a hurry to get things done, I rush and rush until life's no fun. All I really gotta do is live and die, I'm in a hurry and don't know why. Thank you, Alabama for these great lyrics. If you want a hit of the whole song, it's here. When aren't we...

What would you do? You walk into the small empty clothing store in a foreign town and meet the lone employee's smile. She is on the phone and you commence walking around the store. Soon it becomes clear that she is on a personal call. Like a really p...

The mornings are dark, now what?
The mornings are still dark - is it a little harder to get out of bed, or is it just me? I decided I needed a new morning routine for a little 'winter reset'. I am happy to report that I am loving it. Before I share, I want to make it clear that I'm ...

Swim, Forrest, Swim!
It was a great fear of mine, not to mention an ongoing source of embarrassment: I could not swim. Well, I could move myself from point A to point B in the water, I wasn't afraid of deep water or open water, but I was really afraid to put my head unde...

'The Weird Place'
I pride myself on trying very hard to be present - when I am home, I am home; when I am at work, I am at work; when I am on the road, I am on the road; when I am talking to you, I am talking to you. I try not to pine for where I am not....
