The other morning I was lying in bed thinking about the relationship between what I loved and what I could easily manifest. And then I thought about the things I was not easily manifesting and realized I did not put any love there. Check out this video on connecting what you love to what you […]

We All Have Shit
You could be the prettiest, the smartest, the most giving, the most kind, the richest, the purest, the most loving… we all have shit. Some people will see that shit and accept it. Some will see it and push it away. They may even tell others of the shit you carry, belittling your ‘extraordinary’ gifts […]
Breaking Down Your Steps to Get Everything Done
I know when I’m overwhelmed it is often because I have more to do than I can picture myself doing. The thought of completing anything new is taken over by the thought of having to complete that which is current, and the things that are past due. Small items of less priority can distract me […]
When the Cup is Full – Stop Pouring
In one translation of the teaching of Tao Te Ching, there is a statement that reads, “To keep on filling is not as good as stopping. Overfilled, the cupped hands drip, better to stop pouring.” [Living the Wisdom of the TAO New York City: Hay House 2008] Growth is important as long as you can […]
Don’t Be Afraid to Be Seen
So many of us are afraid to be seen. I include myself as I used to pass out when I had to be in front of an audience. The problem with not being seen is that when you have something important to say, something to sell, someone to influence, or the world to change, it […]

There is a joke in our house that goes like this” I’m almost ready to go, I just have to put on my people pants.” If you’re like us, we like to get comfy when we are at home: loungewear gardening jeans, shorts, and pajamas. But before we go out, before we are going to […]
First Impressions Can Affect Your Bottom Line
First impressions help us determine if we are going to be safe, comfortable, and feel connected. In the history of our evolution, our brains have become wired for the ‘Freeze, Flight, or Fight’ reaction. We see or hear something and we have to evaluate immediately if we were going to be safe. We still have […]
Act ‘As If” is Not the Same as Faking It
This is not the same as “fake it ‘til you make it”, but similar. It is not about faking, it is about changing the way you see yourself and your business. Tell yourself, “this is what it will be like” and it will be believable by both your unconscious, which believes everything is real, and […]
The Green-Light Manager
Approximately 92,000 people work for the Ontario government. If one person finds an issue, has some feedback, wants to change a process, sees an inconsistency, etc. how loud does their voice have to be to get heard? There are processes that are meant to handle this very question, but who knows about them? Usually not […]
Filled with Anxiety Not Gratitude
Gratitude trumps anxiety. When we are in the grasp of anxious or overwhelming times, it is hard to see how being grateful will make a difference. Initially, it will not feel it is making a difference, but I guarantee that having a grateful lifestyle will help eliminate the feelings of lacking and failure. If being […]
