It's time to soar!

I woke up this morning wondering what the heck I was going to write about today.

Then, I remembered one of the things I’ve learned is that we can access information from sources outside our own little head. And I have to just trust that. Especially when I’m trying to come up with new ideas, like this morning!

So I just went on my walk as usual. And…low and behold…my idea literally came to me.

As I was walking home, I caught a movement out of the corner of my eye. And when I turned to see what it was, I saw “my hawk.” I say “my hawk” because hawk has been my totem animal for about 34 years. He is my spiritual guide and sends me messages whenever I need them. I even have the book “Animal Speak Pocket Guide” which I often refer to because I know the animals have a messages for me.

I believe these sources of guidance and inspiration – like the Tarot Cards, the IChing, Animal Wisdom – are all ways for us to access our own Higher Guidance.

That’s exactly what happened for me today. I already knew what Hawk’s was telling me, before I read my little book.

What I observed him do today, is for me, and for all of us really, an analogy for what we do in life.

When I saw first saw him, my hawk was on the ground, which is rare. I usually see him way up in the clouds, sailing around.

But he was on the ground today and I saw that it took a lot of effort for him to take off. Because he is big. And there wasn’t a lot of updraft today. It was very still.

I had the privilege of watching him navigate his take-off. At first he had to fly very close to the ground, and then he had to navigate and dodge between all the trees. He disappeared, but I could see his trajectory and guess where he would pop out – and sure enough, he did. He was higher up but still working hard to gain altitude.

And then…the magic happened.

That’s when I could see the updraft catch his wings…and-he-soared! No more effort…he just soared. And then I could hear him screeching his joy! Because he had made it!

For me it was a very clear message, that I am on a mission, to reach as many people as I can – like you.

And encourage as many people as I can – like you.

To STOP Day dreaming and START DAREDREAMING!

Start moving towards your dreams.

Yes, it may be hard sometimes, and there may be obstacles to navigate around and you’ll have to work. But guess what? The good news is…once you reach the right altitude…you-get-to-soar!

So, if you’re ready to soar – give me a call – and together, we’ll do exactly that!

Having a bad day?

8/11/2019

So, I’ve been having a bad week…you know? It just happens sometimes! I’ve been practicing all my coaching skills, trying to make it better. But NADA…NOTHING!

And then I finally realized…I was just trying to avoid this feeling. I just didn’t want to feel like this! I was doing everything in my power not to feel like this…and then I finally just admitted to myself, “Ok! I feel like shit!” and I just went ahead and let myself feel it. And guess what? It wasn’t so bad.

The thing is, just because I’m a coach, doesn’t mean I’m always on top of my game! It’s like the carpenter whose house needs fixing. I have to coach myself sometimes!

So what did I do? I just let myself feel blah! And then I did my favorite thing…I went outside. I hung out with my kitties (who bring me joy!) and just felt grateful – for where I live, for my house, my partner, my view – you get the idea!

So where am I going with this? Sometimes, when we’re in a slump and want to get out of it, there are two things we can do:

Just go ahead and allow yourself to feel those feelings. It doesn’t feel great, but hey, in the end, it’s just a feeling! And it passes!
DO SOMETHING! Neuroscience has proven that when we do something that moves us closer to our goals or dreams, it dumps dopamine into our system, which makes us feel good! It doesn’t have to be a big thing, but you have to do something! (like me writing this blog, despite my feelings, because I promised myself I would do it, for my readers!)

And you know what? I already feel better! My “doing something” was originally going outside and recording a video about this, even though I thought, “I’m not my normal high energetic self and what am I going to share?” And I realized I was simply going to share exactly what I’m sharing! and now I am writing about it.

I’m human! We’re all human! We all go though this periodically! And it’s OK! We can get ourselves out of it by feeling it, and then going ahead and doing the next thing on the list. Don’t just sit there groveling (well, let yourself grovel a little, but not for too long!)

And then…do something!

GO OUTSIDE!

7/25/2019

Last week I talked about what I mean by be wild: “to live in a natural state. Not domesticated or tamed.”

At a certain point in my life, I realized that I had been domesticated or tamed and told to jump through certain hoops…that’s when I woke up and began to think about what I wanted to do with my life.

That’s what I encourage everyone to do. To get back to their natural state…or as I like to say, “The way you were, before you were born.”

One way I do that, is to take my daily walk. It’s my form of meditation. I just walk - and even though I may have thoughts, I just let them swirl and don’t attach to any one of them. I pay more attention to what’s around me. And often I see animals – and when I don’t – I just enjoy being in Nature. I’m a big fan of Animal Wisdom and look up any creatures I see in my book when I get home, to see what my “message for the day” is.

Animal Wisdom is like a lot of other “sources of inspiration”, like the IChing or Taro Cards. To me these are all ways to connect to our own Higher Wisdom. After all, it is we who interpret the message! It’s often uncanny the messages you’ll receive, if you are willing to listen!

Today was no exception! But my message didn’t come from an animal today. When I got home from my walk, I wanted to write in a journal, and looked for an old one with room to write in it. When I opened the little book, I saw something I had written years ago – describing the Tao philosophy of Nature! (Nature and being wild has been on my mind a lot lately, as you know!)

I read: “The Taoist concept of Nature is – without intention or meaning. Simply natural.” They go on to say: “The man-made world is simply the natural world, with intention.”

This gave me pause to think that the main difference between human beings and “other” being/animals on the planet, is that we humans, have intention. We can project ourselves into the future, we can think about the past. We have goals. We want to do more than just survive…we want to thrive!

All animals come “pre-programmed” for survival – including us! But humans take it a step further. We build our lives around thriving…because we want to do something more with our lives…not simply survive.

So what is an example of man-made or Nature with intention? Clothing! Clothing is cotton, with intention. Furniture is wood, with intention.

There are a lot of beautiful things that can happen with intention.

But sometimes, those intentions can get the best of us. They can take over. And just as Nature “wears a mask” in the form of clothing, we sometimes wear masks in our lives. The masks are appropriate in many ways. We can’t always be natural and vulnerable with everybody, all the time. Sometimes it just isn’t appropriate.

But there are times when we need to get away from our everyday lives, from all our intentions - and “get back to Nature.” Why?

Because when we are in Nature (which is “mask-less”) it gives us permission to take off our masks.

It’s so rejuvenating to just relax and “let it be.”

The Taoist philosophy says we need to “live life in accordance with the ways things already are.” And when we are in Nature, that’s what we do.

So today I want to leave you with an invitation:

GO OUTSIDE, take off your shoes, run around in the grass, and get back to Nature – get back to your Wild Side – get back to who you are, without the mask!

(It’s OK…no one’s looking!)

And if you really want to get wild…join me on the next Wild Thing Expedition!

See you there!

Wild is...

7/24/2019

I'm here today because I want to talk about this obsession I have with “being wild.” I often sign my emails with BE WILD. And people have asked me “what do you mean by that?” So that's why I'm here. I want to tell you what I mean by that.

And to do that, I started by consulting the American heritage dictionary and looked up “wild.”

Here's the definition:

“Wild: occurring, growing, or living in a natural state. not domesticated, cultivated or tamed.”

I kind of like that definition! I like it, because I believe that all of us, from the day we were born, have been domesticated, or trained, or brainwashed if you want to call it that.

We’ve been fed all kinds of beliefs, values and traditions. None of it was done with malice. Our parents just wanted us to be happy. They wanted us to fit in. For them that was the way to be happy.

But at a certain point in my life, I began to question that. It actually took me a long time to even realize what was going on.

I remember I was in my first year at university and I had won a nursing scholarship. I hadn't even thought about nursing before, but I thought, ok I won the scholarship... I'll just give it a try. Why? Because it would allow me to get married and have kids.

I had the grades to have gone into medical school. But in those days, a woman didn't do that. You were supposed to get married and have kids.

I still remember a conversation I had with my Spanish professor. He asked me why nursing? And I told him why. And he asked me why not medical school? And I remember responding “I don't know. I don't even know if I’d want to go to medical school.”

And that's when I woke up. I thought, “What do I want to do? What about me? Not all these things I'm supposed to do. What about me?”

That day marked the rebirth of my “wildness.”

So, I switched my major to German. I loved languages and I kept learning them. I eventually became a flight attendant for Lufthansa and that started my love affair with travel. I've spent all of my adult life living outside the continental United States, speak five languages and have lived in 3 countries.

Where am I going with all of this?

What I would like to do today is to ask you to just stop and think for a minute, and ask yourself, “When did I stop being wild?”

Maybe you were two. Maybe that's when you began to realize that if you wanted your parents’ love, you had to do what they said. Part of that was to be safe, but as we grew older it was also to get their love, to be accepted, to fit in. And as we grew older, we began to lose touch with our wildness - our natural state.

But I firmly believe it is never too late to reconnect with our wild side!

I call the people who work with me and travel with me, “Wild Things.”

Why? Because this is my definition of Wild Thing:

“Wild Thing: a woman who feels comfortable in her own skin, who doesn’t care what anyone thinks about her (not in an “F-you” way, but in a liberating way!) She isn’t afraid to share her feelings, to be vulnerable. She is a woman who loves generously, lives unapologetically, and laughs out loud!”

So, my last question for you today, is:

ARE YOU A WILD THING TOO?

And if you’re not quite there yet, but would like to be...I invite you to do the “Wild Thing Quest!”

(IT'S NEVER TOO LATE!)

A HAWK IS A HAWK!

3/16/2019

Those of you who know me, know that I am very much into Animal Wisdom. Many native cultures around the world (and I am talking modern day too!) believe that the animals have messages for us, if we are receptive and listen.

My main totem animal is the hawk. He has been with me for over 30 years now, guiding me whenever I falter or temporarily lose my way.

One of my favorite lessons from him is really pretty logical and simple:

“A hawk is a hawk and behaves like a hawk…it behaves like a hawk and not like a duck!”

What the heck does that mean?! Well, do you have a dog? If you do, I am willing to bet that your dog has done this more than once…rolled in SH*T! Am I right? Disgusting, I know. And if you are not there to stop him, he’ll do it every time! Just try to train your dog not to roll in SHI*T. I dare you! My guess is that no matter how much you try, he is still going to need a bath!

And for those of you cat lovers…have you ever tried to train a cat not to chase a bird? I have always had cats. And I love birds. I can’t tell you how many birds I’ve saved over the years (and mice too!) But do you think I can convince any one of my cats not to hunt birds or mice? Have you ever tried to train a cat not to do anything that comes naturally to him? (like scratch the furniture?!)

OK, I think you get my point here. Animals do things that come naturally to them. It’s in their nature. And they cannot and do not behave in a way that is counter to their nature.

But what about us humans? We were all born with a certain nature too. A certain temperament, personality – a certain “being-ness” that is completely unique!

I like to say we were born wild…

but then we got trained…by our parents, our society, our religion, our elders. We got domesticated.

Don’t get me wrong here. All of them were doing it for the right reasons, “for our own good.” They did it to keep us safe, to help us integrate into society. They did it because they were domesticated by their parents too! They passed down the “list of rules”, so to speak.

And we accepted that list – unknowingly – how could we know any better? We were just children!

We accepted it because we wanted their love an approval. We wanted their attention – and we would do whatever it took to get that love and attention! Including stifle our true nature!

Actually, that complete acceptance came about after we were two. If you are a parent, you know about the “Terrible Twos!”

I remember the story my parents told me about when I was two years old. I had done something wrong and they scolded me. They had done the same thing with my older sister, when she did something wrong. They said, “Shame on you! Go to your room and don’t come out until you can behave!” Well, apparently my sister burst into tears and ran into her room, slamming the door.

Hmmm…that worked pretty well…let’s try it with Lisa. And so, they said, “Shame on you! Go to your room and don’t come out until you can behave!” – and waited to see what I’d do.

Well, I could hardly stand on my own, so I grabbed a chair, stood up, stamped my foot, and stuck my tongue out at them! OOPS! Different animal, different nature! (They could hardly contain themselves they were laughing so hard!)

But needless to say, I learned pretty quickly that sticking your tongue out at your parents is not OK! And lots of other things that came naturally to me were not OK either! So, I learned to adapt, to change my behavior to earn my elders’ approval, attention and love.

I jumped through all the right hoops. Goodness knows, I tried to fit in. I wanted to fit in! I was a cheerleader in high school. I was first runner up and Miss Congeniality in the local Junior Miss Pageant. I was in a sorority at university. I decided to study nursing (not medicine, even though I had the grades!) because it would allow me to have children and be a mother. I was following all the “rules” of the status quo…

Thankfully, at some point, I woke up! Well, at least enough to realize that all of that wasn’t me.

But it took me years of searching and self-reflection (not to mention a good dose of self-doubt!) to rediscover my true nature and allow myself to live it!

And now, whenever I am unsure of what to do next, I simply have to remember:

“A hawk is a hawk and behaves like a hawk…it behaves like a hawk and not like a duck!”

How about you? Are you living your true nature?
Or have you lost it somewhere along the way?...

Are you ready to take the first step to rediscover your True Nature?

Are you ready to BE WILD again?!

Can't say no?

3/6/2019

Are you "just a girl who can't say no?"

Ok, so I’m probably giving away my age by admitting that I remember this song from the musical “Oklahoma!” But, I’m at that age where I don’t really care anymore if you know my age!

That being said, I am still a woman – and like every other woman on the planet(I might be exaggerating here, but probably not) – I have a problem saying “no!”

And like the song says, “I always say, come on, let’s go. Just when I ought to say NIX!”

How about you? Do you have trouble saying no?

And I’m not just talking about to your boss
(I acknowledge that can be difficult) but to anyone!

Especially to your loved ones. You want them to be happy. You want them to get what they want. Besides, you’re supposed to sacrifice your needs and wants for your family, right?

But what about you? How do you feel when all you do is give them what they want? Maybe just a little bit resentful?

My guess is, yes, you do feel a little bit resentful…
I know I do! And may I ask you another question?

How much fun are you to be around, when you’re feeling resentful? Probably not much fun…am I right?

On the flip side of the coin, I’ll bet you are a blast to be around when you are taking care of yourself and doing things you love to do…right again?

So I have a little challenge for you. This week, I want you to simply pay attention and note how many times you say “yes” when you really want to say “no.”

No judgement, just notice how many times that happens and how you feel when you say “yes” instead of “no.”

Now I have another question for you. Do you like games? Great! So, the following week, I have a game for you to play!

During the next week, every time you are about to say “yes” to something, I want you to stop for a minute and ask yourself, “Do I really want to do this?” …and if the answer is “no”, then I want you to silently break out into a chorus of, “I’m just a girl who can’t say no. I’m in a terrible fix!”

By the time you finish this silly song mentally, you’ll most likely be smiling…

Then I want you to continue smiling and say (nicely!) “No, I’m sorry, I can’t do that.”

Please let me know how that goes in the comments!

I LOVE SUCCESS STORIES!

WILD THING, WHAT MAKES YOUR HEART SING?

I BELIEVE IN MAGIC!

3/1/2018

Have you ever had this experience?:
One day you have a “bad day” and the next, a “good day.” But when you analyze it more closely, nothing’s changed:

Same job
Same assehole boss
Same house
Same car
Same friends
Same partner

So why this good day/bad day syndrome? What’s changed?

Externally – nothing.
Internally – your focus, your attention

There has been an internal shift. Unconsciously, you are focusing your attention on the good stuff, instead of the bad stuff.

Now we simply have to cultivate this habit. Make it conscious!

I say simply but simple isn’t always easy! So how can we make this easier?

Do you like to play games? Great! Then let’s play a game here, instead of making ourselves wrong for feeling lousy.

The first thing you have to do, is buy a magic wand.

What?! You heard me right. Go to the toy store and I guarantee you, you’ll find a magic wand. Or better yet, you can make yourself a magic wand. You remember what they look like. I know you do! (Mine has a star on the top, with lots of gold glitter!”

Now, carry that wand with you at all times (or have one at work and one at home!) and every time you catch yourself thinking a negative thought,

STOP – grab your wand - and say outloud, “Abracadabra – away with you, negative thought!” Then I want you to cancel that negative thought by saying outloud, “Cancel! Cancel!”

Don’t forget to wave your wand as you do this!
If you feel a little silly doing this, it might even make you laugh…and I dare you to feel negative and laugh at the same time!

Why outloud? And why wave the wand? Because we pay more attention when we verbalize something and when we feel it in our bodies. We integrate it better. We are calling that negative little voice out! We are making it conscious.

Now what? Once you are aware of that negative thought you just had, immediately focus on something good! It doesn’t have to be anything related to the present moment – just something that makes you feel good:

Like puppies or kittens playing
Like your favorite armchair and the feeling you get when you sit in it with your favorite book
Like the view of the sunset from your front window

Don’t forget to wave the wand as you remember what makes you feel good! You can even tap your heals together and say, “there’s no place like home” if you want to…gotcha! I saw you smiling just then!

Your turn! What makes you feel good? What makes you smile?

What makes your Heart sing?

Warning! When you do this, you may find that suddenly, like magic, everything is OK!

Want more magic tricks? Let’s talk!

Build yourself a raft

2/27/2018

I believe that our life moves through cycles, just like nature does. After all, we ARE part of nature. We go through ebbs and flows, just like the ocean. Through seasons, just like the weather. We have ups and downs.

Last week I was in a definite DOWN. I am in the middle of the third coach training I have taken. I am always looking to improve my coaching skills. This particular course is really intense, in the sense that it involves a lot of self-reflection and I get to coach and BE coached weekly. One of the requirements is to do “buddy coaching.” I get to experience again, how powerful coaching is – from the coach’s side and from the coachee’s side.

When it was my turn to be coached this week, I knew I was a bit emotional. The day before, I had had a good cry, over something totally unrelated to my real issue. When I first started crying, I was upset about something that was out of my control (the delivery of an important package, if you can believe it!) That was the first clue that there was something deeper going on! Really?! Crying over a package? But I couldn’t help it – I needed to cry. So I let myself cry. That’s when I realized that what was really going on was much deeper. I was feeling “not good enough”, and I was afraid I would fail at building my coaching business. Who was I to think that I had something to offer people?! Who was I to think I could make a difference in people’s lives?! (all this, despite lots of evidence to the contrary!)

That’s when my buddy coach asked me the magic question: “How would you be different if you believed in yourself?” … silence on my part while I pondered the question.

“I would be calm. I would be able to see what I need to do and simply do it. I wouldn’t be distracted by all my negative thoughts. I might even start enjoying myself!”

That begged the next question…this one I came up with on my own. "Great idea, but HOW do I believe in myself?! I clearly don’t, right now.”

As I pondered this question, I thought about what a belief is. If I KNOW I can do something already, it’s not a belief. It’s a fact.

A belief, on the other hand, is not based on fact, necessarily. Who can prove that God exists? Or that we reincarnate after we leave this life? Where’s the proof? What if the Wright Brothers had not believed it was possible for man to fly? Or land on the moon for that matter!

So, did I need proof to believe in myself? Was I striving to do something I already knew exactly how to do? No. I was stretching myself to new heights, learning new things, doing things I’d never done before. Did I need to be “perfect” to believe in myself? (as in, come up with PROOF?) No.

I could simply choose to believe in myself. No proof. No evidence. No need to be perfect! (what a relief!)

So, the next time you experience “low tide” so to speak, I invite you to simply watch the process and BELIEVE that you are enough, exactly as you are – knowing that the high tide will return.

Then, climb onto your raft and let it carry you to new destinations and dreams.

You simply have to believe in yourself - and then - build yourself a raft.

Are you ready to start building that raft?

Let’s talk!

Miracles do happen!

2/11/2018

Years ago (19 years to be precise), when we lived in Hawaii, I had my first mid-life crisis. I decided I could no longer be a carpenter (I was 42, had had shoulder surgery, and realized that I couldn’t go on building houses forever.)

Question: What now?

Answer: Go back to school to study Interior Design – after all, it was the creative process I loved about carpentry! I could design things instead of building them!

Next question: Where shall I study?

Answer: Italy, of course!

Next question: How the heck are we going to sell the houses I built (2 of them) if we haven’t been able to sell even one in the last 7 years?! We had listed the house at two different times, with different realtors. Not a bite! Now we were committed (yes, I had even paid my tuition!)and we had no choice. We had to sell not only one, but two houses!

I still remember the day I was in the kitchen thinking, “What have I done? I have no idea how we are going to sell both houses within 3 months and move to Italy before school starts!” I was excited and scared at the same time. And I truly had no idea how we were going to sell those houses!

Then I did something I don’t do very often. I literally got down on my knees in the kitchen (tile floor, so nice and hard on the knees!) and put my forehead on the floor. I wasn’t exactly praying, in the Christian sense, but I was “covering all the bases” of all the religions and practices I was familiar with…and I said outloud, “God/goddess, All that is, I’m out of ideas. Please help us sell these houses so I can get to school on time.”

I was desperate, but committed.

We were going, no matter what! Even if we had to rent out both houses in the meantime (not a good option to manage a rental from Italy!) Then I got up and hoped for the best!
u
Two days later, the phone rang, and a woman said, “Hi, my name is Brenda and I stayed at the B&B next door a couple of years ago. At the time they said you had a house for sale. Is it still for sale? I have a friend who is looking.” Well, of course I said yes, come on down! When they arrived, they came into our house first, to get acquainted and then we walked across the property to the other house (which was the one for sale.) He looked at it and then at us and said, “I like your house better. I’d like to buy your house.” We responded that we couldn’t sell ours first, move into the second house and wait till it sold, before moving to Italy. We had to sell the other house first. It was tempting, but we stood our ground. They left, and with them our hopes…
A week later, he called back. In the interim, he had convinced his friend Brenda, that she needed to buy the other house, so they could share the property. He would buy our house. They offered our asking price and we closed without a realtor, saving the commission as well! All within 6 weeks!
It was a lot of work selling and shipping stuff, but I made it to school on time!
So, the next time you are at the “end of your rope” with no idea how to make your dreams come true, I suggest you commit fully – and then “let Providence move” things for you!
Having trouble getting clarity on what those dreams are? We can figure it out together!

Let's talk!

The Universe is like a giant GPS

11/26/2017

What the heck? Stay with me here…I know it sounds crazy but here’s the story:

Years ago, when I decided I wanted to buy old houses, fix them up and sell them, tons of people said,
“It’s too late. The real estate market has crashed. You can’t make any money doing that anymore.”

These people are part of the famous group called “Nay-sayers.” It doesn’t matter WHAT you decide to do, there will ALWAYS be “Nay-sayers.” They always find all the reasons why it can’t be done, why it’s not a good idea. They have evidence to back this up too. And they really believe that evidence…that’s the key here. THEY BELIEVE THAT EVIDENCE. And in the end they are right! THEY can’t make that happen!

I, on the other hand, am a “YAY-sayer!” I believe that if I state my goal clearly (that’s like programming the GPS) and am committed to that goal, the UNIVERSE will find a way to get me there.

Now back to my story. I decided I wanted to fix up old houses and sell them without a realtor to save the commission.

First step: find an old house to fix up. How to do that? Look in the newspaper…nothing. Look online…nothing. Ask around…nothing.

Next step: ask the Universe for help. I know it sounds crazy and I still feel a little silly when I say things like, “God, Goddess, All that is, please find me a great house to fix up at a great price, without a realtor.” But I admit it…I did it. Nothing. Oh well, it was worth a try.

Not much later, I was on a walk in my little town and heard a dog crying, really crying, like it was in pain. I love animals, so of course I followed its cries until I found it. It was a beautiful husky, tied up in its yard and had somehow managed to wrap its paw up in the rope so tightly that it clearly hurt a LOT and it couldn’t get free on its own. So I approached it carefully, in case it was scared and aggressive. But instead it looked at me pleadingly and I immediately went to work to free its paw. I got lots of kisses and felt wonderful that I had helped this gorgeous creature!

I decided to go by the next day to see how the dog was doing. This time the owner was at home, so I rang the bell and explained what had happened the day before. He was very grateful. I couldn’t help but look over his shoulder into the entryway…man, this would be a perfect fixer-upper! And right at that moment he explained that he wasn’t home much because he was in the process of moving and that’s why the dog was tied up. Bingo! Was the house his? No, but his landlord was super nice and anxious to sell. This just kept getting better!

Next step: meet with the landlord and make a deal with owner financing (no realtor AND no bank involved!) This was even better than I had hoped for!

Next step: fix up the house (this is the really FUN part for me!)

Next step: find a buyer and sell the house without a realtor. How? NO IDEA! But I was really clear that I didn’t want a realtor involved, so I went ahead with the renovations.

I still remember the day I was in the kitchen, finishing up the counters, when I heard a voice say “Hello? Anybody home?” I came into the hall to find a well-dressed woman looking around curiously. She asked for a tour and then she said, “It’s like you chose the colors for me! Are you doing the work? Is the house for sale? How much do you want?” Well, I hadn’t even thought about a price yet, but, off the top of my head I said, “$185,000.”

“Done!” she said. And it really was! We closed within the week, once again, without a realtor and she got a bank loan with no problem!

So, the next time you find yourself "Nay-saying" – or believing – “it can’t be done” I invite you reprogram your thinking to: “It CAN be done” and then program the GPS with “I want YOU FILL IN THE BLANK” and then give the Universe a chance to get you to your destination.

It will often not be the route you were expecting, but you programmed the GPS – and it will get you there - or somewhere even better!

PS – Another key ingredient here is:
You have to DO something! – don’t just sit there wishing.
You have to DRIVE the car or the GPS doesn’t work!

Ready to program YOUR GPS?

Let's talk!

If you're ready to go from bored to bodacious, you've come to the right place!
Be bold!
Be bodacious!
Be a Daredreamer!
