On September 25th (the day before my 48th birthday), I really wanted to chill out and give myself a “day for me” since I was leading a workshop on my birhtday. Instead, I decided to participate in the Coastal Cleanup Campaign – where citizens gather together and pick up trash and debris on the beaches [...]
CONTINUE READINGIn the midst of helping to plan this ginormous event earlier this month called Leaders Causing Leaders (by FAR the biggest thing I’ve ever produced – besides my two kids!) which you may have heard about, organizing and leading Cafe Gratitude workshops about once a month in L.A. …AND starting a business, I actually managed [...]
CONTINUE READINGI’ve driven up Love Creek Road countless times, ever since I was a small girl, and hardly a time goes by when I don’t feel overjoyed when I turn off the highway and make my way up that winding, uneven ribbon that connects me to my soul affectionately known as “The Road.” I always feel [...]

However, nine years ago, her life was cut short from a disease which, although she was able to stave it [...]
CONTINUE READINGI have been procrastinating about this blog for months… again. It’s my very large streak of perfectionism… the old “all my ducks must be lined up before I take action” story. Don’t get me wrong – I’m fairly spontaneous when it comes to doing fun things with my friends and family. But when it comes [...]

It’s actually more of what I hope to be posting in future- an update, an insight here or there, a way to communicate and share and be “radically transparent” as my new friend Tricia’s button said (which I loved!). I hope you enjoy it, find it useful [...]
