Back in 1997, I started offering consulting services and created my business not out of a desire but out of obedience. I had just gone through a nasty divorce and had nothing emotionally or financially left. I sought the security of a job, but God told me no. He made it very clear to me […]
January 2020
YOUR HEALTH Depending upon how happy your holidays were, you may be feeling sluggish and fatigued. Even if you were good, January is a great month to get serious about your flexibility. So many of us grew up without being taught the importance of proper stretching, and it may be catching up with us. The […]
Reach Your Goals in Record Time in 2020
Setting goals is the easy part; taking action toward them requires daily discipline so that we may actually achieve them. Once you have defined your goals, you will want to anchor your why to them. Saying you want to lose weight to fit into your cloths better isn’t a strong enough why. If it were, […]
The Importance of Mentorship as Learned by Loretta Lynn
Want to know the importance of mentorship? Just ask Loretta Lynn. I recently watched the Lifetime Channel movie Patsy and Loretta (https://www.mylifetime.com/movies/patsy-and-loretta) I’ve always been a Patsy Cline fan as she had a unique sound that seemed to come from deep inside of her. After watching the story of her and Loretta Lynn, I just […]
Why You Need a Coach
Back in my corporate days, I had a mentor/coach on retainer. It wasn’t that I didn’t feel qualified for the position, but I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I appreciated having someone available to bounce things off of and talk through challenging situations. This resource allowed me to make better decisions, communicate more effectively, […]
Coaching can help you press on
I shared recently about a challenging hill I am running up and down to exercise because I can (see Not Today blog). Well, the temperatures continue to rise here in Phoenix and that hill feels steeper every day but I press on. The crazy thing is that I am not out there alone. Other people […]
I will not say no – not today. Say yes to something that challenges you!
It was 93 degrees—the heat of the day—and I decided to run the steep hill located near our house. It’s a road that leads to a cell tower. It isn’t anything special, but the switchbacks are a butt buster. My goal was up and down three times for a total of three miles. The pavement […]
January 2019
YOUR HEALTH How are you feeling? The holidays can often leave us feeling sluggish. What better way to start the new year off than cleansing our bodies and detoxing? Tons of products on the market are designed to accelerate this process, but you don’t have to spend a lot of money. In fact, simple is […]
Low energy? Exercise!
Every client I have trained or coached has heard me stress the importance of exercise for many reasons, one being to improve energy levels. Inevitably, I would get the deer-in-the-headlights look because on the surface, it just doesn’t make sense. You’re exhausted, right? How exactly would expending more energy make you feel better? Well, let […]
Have Some Resolve
It is mid January, and many people have probably already lost sight of their resolutions for 2017. I’ve heard many people declare that they don’t have any resolutions, which is a resolution of itself! Resolution means to declare, promise, and pledge, and I’ve never been a fan. It is way too easy to say you […]
