I remember a time when doing good work quietly was enough. That time is over. Today, YouTube generates more than 200 billion views per day, and about 80% of people prefer video over written content.  Isn’t that amazing? If your mission matters… If your work changes lives… And if you’re not visible… business.It’s not vanity… […]

Last Saturday evening, I was reminded of something both simple and profound: Our thoughts matter. We attended Mind Magic: Mental Miracles for Smart People (and their friends), a one-night experience led by my friend Dr. Steve Taubman. While the evening was filled with wonder and laughter, the deeper message stayed with me long after the […]

Why Your Business Growth Depends on It

Stories are happening all around us—every client conversation, every challenge overcome, every small win that quietly shifts our confidence. The problem isn’t that we don’t have stories.
The problem is that we don’t capture them while they’re alive.

For years, I believed storytelling was something you did after success—once things were polished, packaged, and proven. What I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) is that the real power of storytelling comes from building a system that captures stories as you live them.

This season, let’s be grateful not just for our blessings, but for the opportunities we have to act on our dreams, lift others, and take the next step—even if it’s imperfect.

So whatever you’ve been thinking about doing—launching that idea, writing your story, helping someone in need—don’t wait.
    Do it imperfectly.

    But do it. 

    Take ACTION!

The lesson I learned that day went far beyond science. 

It taught me perseverance, patience, and self-belief. It reminded me that failure is not the opposite of success—it’s part of it.
Even now, I remind myself (and my clients) that perfection is not the goal. Progress is. Every mistake, every misstep, every “spilled water moment” is simply feedback on the path forward.

We all need to allow ourselves to fail forward—to learn, adjust, and try again. Because in the end, it’s not about getting everything right the first time. It’s about showing up, learning, and growing with each new attempt.

Have you ever discovered an old ancestor's photograph and wondered -- what was that person thinking about?

What was their life like? 

How did they overcome obstacles?

After opening boxes for an upcoming move, my husband and I came across a number of photographs and an old suffragette card from his grandma Fanny.  I wanted to imagine what she could have written to her sister, Bessie, who also dealt with her own challenges.
My Dearest Bessie,

I hope this letter finds you in one of your better moods, perhaps perched near a window with a cigarette in hand, watching the world go by. I always admired your independence — even if Papa never forgave you for loving someone he didn’t approve of. Truth is, we both lived with more fire in our hearts than many knew what to do with.

I’m writing today not because I’m lonely — though I won’t pretend the nights aren’t long — but because I needed to put these words somewhere. Somewhere safe. Somewhere real.

Dear Friends, As I approach another trip around the sun, I find myself filled with deep gratitude—for the people, the purpose, and the path that have shaped my life. To each of you who has followed my work, shared my mission, encouraged my storytelling, or simply sent a kind word—thank you. This past year has […]

If you want to be efficient, it makes sense to take advantage of AI tools.  BUT - (and I say this in my own voice) -- we still need to be able to guide, modify any AI tool, to fit into OUR voice. True confession -- while I adore my friend Chat GPT -- I'm still in control of what gets on the page.  And YOU have that same ability. After all, there is only one YOU!  So make sure your content sounds just like you.

What values do you cherish?  Why do we allow many current leaders to violate the values of integrity, compassion, and unity?  Those values have never been more vital.  Your story, your values, your voice—matters. You have the power to be a light in someone else's darkness.
