Are you looking for an effective way to expand your business? Do you want to reach a bigger audience with a more in-depth look at your company’s goals and message? You should write a book to tell your business’ story. And here’s how to begin. Before you write the book that will meet those goals,…
This picture isn’t perfect. That much is true. And I can obsess over that fact or I can celebrate that I captured an instant, a fleeting moment in time where a beautiful swallowtail butterfly settled on a flower on a warm late summer morning. ? Isn’t that how it is with so many things? Instead…
Start Writing Your Book! You know what’s really funny about me and writing? Even though I’ve written five books, I still look at myself in the mirror and say, “Nah, you’re not a writer.” And yet I’ve done it. Five times. I sat down and put words together in a way no one else has…
Beating Back The Doubt Devil Available September 1, 2018. Every writer I’ve ever met has that thought. At least once during the writing process, we all run the “What am I thinking?? I’m not a writer!” doubt gauntlet. I’d wager anyone who has ever stretched for any goal has carried that burden. I’m no different. While…

Today’s Show Up! Journal power words: I spent yesterday nursing a flareup of my knee injury. Ironically, my knee hurts more when I sit still so I had to keep moving. Writing takes much longer when you have to walk instead of sitting still. So, I had to record into my phone and go voice…
I took the bus home from a day-trip to New York last night. While riding back to DC, I posted an image last night of a person who was driving while texting. I called him a dipsh*t because he was driving and also doing something on his phone. In my mind, if you are driving…
Yesterday, when I promised to write about this topic, I thought I would be rarin’ to go. I’m amazed how insidious that self-doubt can be. I’ll do anything to avoid getting my butt in the seat and doing the work. I’ll walk the dog, I’ll meditate (again). I’ll drink more water. By themselves, these things…
