Have you ever stumbled upon a book that was so earth shattering...literally life changing that you a) couldn't put it down; and b) couldn't stop telling everyone about it? That book is sitting next to me as I write in this moment. "You are the Girl for the Job," by Jess Connolly has literally rocked …
Remembering who I am…
It's been an intersting ride these last several months. I've traveled nearly non-stop since the end of May...some of that was for personal, vacation and such, and a lot of it was for business. Denver, California, Denver again and Vegas. I am a free spirit and generally enjoy traveling; arriving at the destination at least. …
Miracles…
It's 11:27p Denver time on Sunday night and I am sitting in the airport after what might have been the longest week of my adult life waiting on my red-eye flight home. I flew to Denver unexpectedly because Melanie's son, Jackson (16) was t-boned by a driver that didn't bother to stop for a red …
Finding your tribe…
This weekend I had an amazing opportunity to come together around a round table, in a small beach town on the coast of South Carolina with eight amazing women. When I was making the decision a few years ago to leave the Mormon church, one of my biggest fears was leaving the sense of community …

To new adventures…
Once upon a time I was a successful leader and free car driver in a well known skin care company. I fell into it quite by mistake at a time when I thought pedaling lipstick was beneath me. I was an executive for a healthcare software company at the time, traveling around the country and …
Movin’ & groovin’
Thought I would give an update from my "determination" post from last week or so. Things are good and seemingly back on track. I have decided to go all-in health wise because I know I can't exercise a crappy diet and I can't eat myself to a toned body. Exercise and healthy eating go hand …
Mother’s Day
Mother's Day for me is a generally happy holiday. I have two beautiful young adult children who I love and who love me. I have a doting husband who goes out of his way to make me feel appreciated every day, but especially this day. And this year was no different. My daughter and I …
Determined…
Today is day 3 of exercise this week. I have to say day 1 & 2 were rough, but day 3 was good. Probably bc I was highly motivated by the scale today, which isn't the norm for me. Having lost more than -100 lbs post weight loss surgery two years ago I tend to …
