If you can believe it, I used to have a hard time saying No to people. I didn’t want to disappoint them, and I didn’t want to risk not being asked again. Then I was blessed with a teenage bonus daughter. She taught me soooo many things. One of them being how to say No… …
Do you ever feel like you’re doing the work, and not seeing the results? Whether it’s fitness or photography competitions, I often feel pretty good about the effort I’m putting in. I workout 2-3x per week… for years. I work hard to create beautiful portraits and enter the competitions. Yet, when I recently got a …
Many years ago I was in some sort of personal development workshop with a woman whose face I can see clearly but I can’t remember her name. She turned down the lights and played music I can’t remember either. Much of this memory is fuzzy. She had us stand up and raise our arms straight …
Oh man! Have you ever watched Cirque du Soleil? Those acrobats can leap into a hoop and land hanging by their toes… and they make it look effortless. It’s stunning.

But, because we’re in Bali, I was really tickled by the idea that if I wait till Friday afternoon, I’ll be writing it …
“All profound distraction opens certain doors. You have to allow yourself to be distracted when you are unable to concentrate.” – Julio Cortazar Tomorrow we’re embarking on a 28-hour, 3-flight journey to Bali. Right now, I’m a little distracted. I gotta make sure there’s enough pet food, pack up for 2 weeks without over-packing and …
Do you love a good fairy tale? I do. But I have to remember that they’re not real. And I have to remember not to expect anything in real life reality to be like any thing in a fairy tale. Because it’s easy to get swept up in the beauty and emotion of a shining …
Last week I had a client consultation during which she started explaining how she likes being athletic and outdoorsy, but also likes playing with hair and makeup. She was almost apologetic when she said “I'm not like a tomboy, but … I don't know, I'm just weird that way I guess…” So I'm going to tell you what I told her.
