I firmly believe that we “train people how to treat us”. Understanding our boundaries and how we want to be treated allows us to communicate it and expect it (yesterdays audio post as about expectations) of those in our lives.

I remember when I decided that I wanted to be around solution oriented, not problem focused people. Just saying I wanted it wasn’t enough. I had to teach those around me what that looked like. I had to be assertive enough to say no. I had to be able to create...

Remember "do nothing" weekends? As we grow older we end up spending our weekend cooking, cleaning, and taking care of others. The chore list just gets longer and longer it seems! Maybe you cannot have an entire weekend, but what about a day or even an afternoon? What would you do? Read a trashy novel? Watch a chick movie? Sleep?

Sometimes you need and deserve it. "Doing nothing" in particular can be a great way to rejuvenate.

Do you take "do nothing" time? How often? What do you do with that ti...

Many would say that are "I can". I believe they are ‘I am”. I am is present tense, which makes it real to your mind. That means your body will do it. Think about it - do you say to yourself: "I am so fat."? or do you say, "I am a learn mean sex machine!" Ok, you get the point!

So stop saying: "I am so tired.", when you wake up in the morning! Say: "I am feeling full of energy!"

Think about the "I am's" in your life. What ones is it time to change?

Last year I started a tradition that I think more of us could use in our lives. Celebrate more. What I really want is for you to stop saving your champagne for a "special" occasion! Why do we do that? Last year I started champagne Thursday to celebrate the "thrival" in my life! If you believe in thrival celebrate! If you are in survival mode I bet you are saving it!

(BTW- if you talk to someone who makes champagne they will tell you that unlike wine, it doesn't age, so what are we saving it fo...

The more we hold on, the less room we have for more. Letting go is one of the more freeing acts there is. Do you need to let go of a betrayal, or a grown child, maybe an old flame? Can you say to yourself, "I AM letting go and moving forward. I AM letting go because I deserve more." And can you feel it in your heart? At first it might feel scary - but remember sometimes that flutter is good fear, not bad. In this situation I will bet it's good not bad.

What do you need to let go of to make roo...

Negative emotion, especially fear stops us from being and receiving our fullest happiest potential. Recently I have met so many women that have fear. And I can see that it is holding them back from more success, more love, more life!

How can you do to accept that your fear is holding you back? How can you realize that you are safe and loved and fear no longer is part of the equation?

What would you do if you had no fear?

“Having an abundance mentality means you live your life knowing there’s more of everything than you will ever need!” James Candelaria, http://www.noobing4u.com

I often think of abundance as there is more than enough for everyone. James statement takes it to the next level. Imagine having more food than you will ever need, more fun, more friends, more love and happiness, more money – can you truly believe that there is more than you will ever need? Does your heart patter at the tho...

Learning to not take it personally is one of the hardest lessons in life to learn! When someone that barely knows you says something that seems mean it can fell so damaging. We all know intellectually that it’s not about you – it’s about them, but when it happens, taking that intellect into your heart is hard.

How do you not take it personally?
