Positive Career Thoughts
The truth is, sometimes we think we are being positive, but we’re not. We may say positive things, but we don’t think them or feel them inside. We may feel happy after a conversation when the other person only hears negativity in our words. I always ask for others to warn me if I’m going […]
Turning Within
What treasures lie within Our fleshy vessel Bumping and winding Thru waves of past, present, and future times. Our precious lifespan – a fragile boundary Dawning and setting each day Where are we going?

A Healthy Career and Your Resting Heart Rate
Recently a client of mine shared with me a story about their heart rate instantly skyrocketing and sending them to the emergency room. What a scary situation.

Every day we do a little negotiating. Sometimes we negotiate with ourselves in regards to what we should eat for lunch versus the guilt that comes with the extra calories. We even self-negotiate how we spend our time and negotiate with others on how to move forward in a project or how to prioritize each […]
Joy Over Expectations
It seems like everywhere you turn there are expectations heaped upon you. You have those from your family, friends, co-workers, supervisors and your community. You also have high expectations that you heap on yourself to be better, stronger, smarter, more successful, and on and on. And whether you’re ready to admit it or not, you […]
