It’s all about your Q & A
Countless “thoughtful thinkers” know the importance of asking the right questions. I’m sure you’ve experienced a few “aha” moments when you’ve been struggling with a challenge and decided to open up to a trusted friend, colleague or loved one, and they’ve hit back with a simple yet insightful question that opened up a whole treasure…
How to get Peace of Mind
It’s no easy task to reach a state where you feel happy, content, on top of your game and ready to take on the next challenge. But this state can be your reality if you’re willing to take the personal time to reflect on your values and adjust your priorities accordingly. Here’s a short 2…
Day to Day
Some nice questions to ask yourself when you’re looking to transcend from your current day to day situation and move to another realm of day to day possibilities: Who do I want to serve? Who do I enjoy spending time with? What keeps me inspired and interested? Where do I want to spend my time…
Man Up
A few years ago I was asked by the notorious videographer Christina Waschko aka “The Motherpreneur” to be interviewed for her youtube channel MotherpreneurTV.

Zone Out
How often during a normal workday do you catch yourself zoning out? I’ve never actually counted but for me, it’s quite frequent. I like the feeling that washes over my mind when I’m zoning out. In many cases, it’s a luxury to be able to allow your mind waves to shift into a disengaged state.…
Opportunities
When you’re offered an opportunity to do something you’ve never done, what is your normal reaction? Do you embrace the new opportunity and say “Yes!”? Do you become reticent and say let me look at my schedule or do you utter, “let me think about it?” Maybe you respond flat out “NO!” I’m too busy…
