I realized how much of my regular life is spent rushing from one thing to the next, rarely savoring the moment. Here, time felt abundant.

Giving up was simply not an option. This is what we do. This is our work.

I first allow myself to feel it (‘feel it to heal it’). I don’t wallow in it, I don’t let it take up residence, but I give it its due. And then I get to work on reframing it.

I needed to change my expectations from anticipating failure, to anticipating success.

I made this video about my sister Debbie and how she made a difference in every area of my life but particularly in my career and who I have become.

The difference now is that I can see my way to enjoying and approving of what I look like now, on the way to something better.

This one person had me feeling so bad about myself and how I looked. And thus began the journey of yo-yo dieting that has dogged me ever since.

Once you have a clear idea of what your ideal life looks and feels like, the next step is to start mapping out the steps to getting there.

Our expertise, our skills, our talents, are out there on display for all to see. And who knows who is watching and needing what we’ve got.

As I approach retirement, I realize I’ve fought the good fight and now’s the time to create my next life, one that’s worth fighting for.

A small miracle for sure, but a miracle, nonetheless. So glad I noticed it.

Do you have people who remind you of who you are? Go book some time with them because they’ll bring you to your best self.

I knew the truth and I knew this person had no right to disturb my peace.

She has an eye I don’t have…yet. Her expertise is a game changer for me, and I’m loving it.

It just asks us to put a pin in the thing that’s worrying us, to put it aside for a bit and let the answer, the grace find us.

I am neither the only one, nor the first, nor the most important one to have set out upon that road.

If we do it from love and a genuine desire to ease their burden, even a little, we should do it.

It was a daily commitment to doing my best and believing I had something to offer and then offering that up.

I was deferring to an expert when I already knew what to do.

I’ve learned that when I’m uncertain of my next step, my next step is to wait until l am certain.
