Throughout my life, as I’ve worked with people in so many different capacities, one of my weaknesses is that I always want more for people…see more in them than they do. Tony Robbins tells a story about a young person who joins the coast guard. He’s just graduated from the coast guard academy, and he’sContinue reading “What Would Jesus Do?”

Breaking the fear of success
Back in January/February, I had the opportunity to spend a long weekend in NYC. It was awesome. But…when I found out the address of the hotel, I felt so unworthy. As I was walking there, I passed over all of the fancy streets that you hear about in every movie about high-end NY. Park Avenue.Continue reading “Breaking the fear of success”
Triggers
Growing up, I always identified as smart. Ok…if I’m honest, that’s what I still identify with. Why? Well, it started with the voices that I allowed to shape my identity. For me, fun always equated with stupid (yes, super judgmental, I know) so I always prefer to be intense over fun. Something else that I’veContinue reading “Triggers”

She andContinue reading “Blessed beyond belief”
I am thankful for my family
The main lesson that I learned over my Thanksgiving is that I am thankful for my family…immediate and extended. For better or worse, they are all a piece of who I am, and I am a piece of who they are. When I was a kid, my father always used to look me in theContinue reading “I am thankful for my family”
Living a life of regret
If I could do it all over again… If I hear that phrase one more time, I’ll vomit all over my shoes. I love my Oma. She’s done nothing but love me unconditionally. She was a child during WWII in Germany. She had a tough childhood. She was an “oops” child…born ater her siblings wereContinue reading “Living a life of regret”
