This past Saturday, I just gave a presentation called Breathe, Balance, and Boundaries to the women of North Valley Church were I attend. What a lovely event spent on infusing hope, inspiring change, and igniting transformation! I wanted to touch on the importance of living a balanced life while at the same time highlighting […]
How to Receive Constructive Feedback
None of us is perfect, and we all could improve. At our best, we are open to honest, constructive feedback. Unfortunately, our egos and insecurities can get in the way, preventing us from a growth opportunity. We each have different temperaments, and receiving feedback can be difficult for some, especially when unsolicited. The older I […]
Words are Not Action
As a human behavior specialist, I understand some people are more likely to exaggerate than others because they are people-oriented and outgoing (high I’s if you are familiar with DISC). These highly social types often speak before they think, and they will promise something and proceed to forget about it. In time, they will lose […]
You Might Want to Sleep On It
Don’t react from an emotional state. Instead, take a step back and respond.
What We Don’t Use, We Lose
For years, I’ve been encouraging people to stay healthy and fit because if we don’t use our heart, muscles, and core strength, we will lose it.

When you actually feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Everyone requires different amounts of water daily depending upon their level of […]
Conflict Takes Two
I’ve been fascinated by the limited-series television show called, Waco, starring Michael Shannon as the FBI negotiator and Taylor Kitsch as David Koresh, the cult leader. The show is based upon two books: one by the FBI negotiator Gary, and another by one of the few survivors. Between the two accounts, you get a […]
The Power of a Simple Pause
As a coach and someone who trains on communication, I’ve been preaching the power of the pause for a long time. I am an outgoing person, and in trainings, I often illustrate a pause by sipping on my straw. You see, outgoing people can often speak before they think. When a straw is in my […]

YOUR HEALTH As you may or may not know, I teach yoga a couple times a week. I tell students we will stretch, strengthen, and stabilize every class. Most importantly, we will practice proper breathing. Once the doors close, we concentrate on inhaling deeply and exhaling out completely. It takes work because most people […]
