I pride myself on being authentic on social media. Nothing in my social channels is fake or polished. However, being authentic doesn't mean I've shared everything publicly.
Those who know me well, know I tend to not talk about my challenges, because I strive to be a positive person. I'm just not a complainer. Buuuuut... it's going to be obvious that things have changed, so it's time for me to fill you in.
Whatever challenges you faced in 2020, and continue to face, I acknowledge and honor. In no way do I think my problems are the worst imaginable ... we all have our own unique set of circumstances and challenges, and all are valid. ❤
In looking at my own 2020 Cosmic Tally Board, I'm down one marriage, two houses, one business and a car.
HOWEVER, I'm also UP one Honda minivan and I'm taking that bad boy on the road for the next 12 to 18 months. I'm on The Healing Road, and that's why I built this community.
I believe we're all on a journey of growth and healing, so I created this community to document my trip and share my journey, and for YOU to share your journey of growth, self-mastery and discovery.
In my travels, I'll be reconnecting with people I love, meeting social media friends face to face for the first time and seeing the country as I never have before.
I'll continue to work with coaching clients via Zoom, and taking on new clients too. I'm grateful in advance for your referrals.
❤ 👍🏻 🙂
If and when I get to your area, I hope we can visit! If you're up for a house guest let me know. If not, let's share a meal or a workout!
Let's create some rich and meaningful conversations here. Until we see each other in real life, I hope you'll follow my hashtags to see where I am!
Here's to a new adventure for all of us on The Healing Road! ❤

Things I’ve done for the first time this year
Stacking wins... hell yeah.
Went on the road and lived nomadically
Fell in love with pickle ball
Tried Zumba for the first time (I didn’t like it but I was proud of myself for trying it)
Ate grilled oysters and raw oysters
Fell in love with baked squash
Bought a road bike and began cycling with those scary clip-in shoes
Threw knives and stars this year
Started a monthly self-mastery zoom call
Recorded my first masterclass on building habits
Ran my first Clubhouse room
Joined a 10 month structured coaching program
I'm now keeping a separate journal for anything else that I try for the first time.
Branch out. Try things. Take a chance. What's the worst that can happen and what's the BEST that can happen?
My whole life I never liked squash or sweet potatoes.. Imagine my surprise when I discovered recently that I really do like them! I've added kabocha squash, acorn squash and butternut squash to my shopping lists and I couldn't be happier
I'm not sure if it's the change in my diet the last few years or simply the fact that as we get older our palate changes but I am absolutely delighted! The great news about squash is they are a fraction of the calories and carbohydrates of sweet potatoes so you can have them on a low carb way of eating! Especially if you have them plain with just salt and pepper.
Here's to branching out in all the ways!
Blood saves lives. If your blood type is O negative like mine, The Red Cross relentlessly hounds you for donations. I donate about every eight weeks and this time I noticed this handy chart on the wall which explains what types of blood you can RECEIVE and who can RECEIVE your blood.
As an O negative donor, my blood can be given to anyone. As an O negative donor, I can ONLY receive O-negative blood. So whatever blood type you are, if you are not donating regularly I encourage you to do so. It matters. ♥️
