I got to connect with a great friend, Kim Violette around a topic that is near and dear to my heart: Blended Families.

What To Do With Toxic Friendships
Tammy Bjelland and I instantly connected as friends. We met professionally through our networks, but quickly found that we resonated in so many areas. We both love working with passionate, capable people, stretching our creativity, and making a difference in women’s lives. The more time we spend together, the deeper our connections grows. We especially… Continue reading What To Do With Toxic Friendships
Unsupportive Friends – Really?
We all have them. They are in your circle. Hell, you even say she is a part of your tribe. You honestly think you couldn’t imagine having their friendship in your life.

Earlier this year, I interviewed a woman… Continue reading Be Your Own Self-Authority
Everything is an Opportunity
Do you remember that 2008 movie, Yes Man? It’s about a down-on-his-luck loan officer (played by Jim Carrey) who promises to say “yes” to every opportunity that presents itself – no matter how silly or outlandish.

Beautiful, Remarkable People
There is no doubt about it. Life is hard. All kinds of daily struggles exist: health, finances, family relationships, natural disasters, etc. Sure, there is a range in degree, but for the most part, I’ve seen that everyone is dealing with SOMETHING.

I talk a lot about being remarkable – about doing remarkable things and going for your dreams.
