Disponibilité

“Be available to the things themselves; to the fresh voice, the strangest voice, your unalienated voice; for it sounds different from your habitual voice, and yet it is your true voice, the call to authenticity.”   Who are you?  Can you distinguish between your authentic and habitual self? It can be challenging. Behaviors such as […]

We are not lost, we are here

We are here, clutching our portfolio and our baggage. We are here, dressed in our credentials accessorized in hoops and pearls.   We are here, brains stretched and flashing forward.  We are here, slipping out of our stilettos and into golf shoes.  We are here, coiffured or curly, confident in our skin.  We are here, sometimes […]

Where she creates

I am excited about the space I created in my home office to cultivate the proper energy and muse to stimulate creative thinking. I wanted meaningful artifacts to surround me, yet clutter-free to lessen distractions. I chose the color green because it is my favorite color and represents new beginnings and renewal.

What’s in a book?

Bounce Back Ability

November 7, 2021 I don’t know about you, but I have suffered breaks in my stride many times throughout my life. I’ve been down, both fallen and kicked (for real). I have experienced set-backs and set-ups; I have smashed and slammed into brick walls. I have taken the proverbial walk of two steps forward and […]
