Chasing the Sunset
I was driving home tonight and I saw the most magnificent sunset. The sun was a ball of fire in the sky and I needed to get the perfect picture of it to share with all of you. The trick was that the sun was setting fast and I found that I couldn’t quite captureContinue reading “Chasing the Sunset”
The Glitz in My Heart
This weekend I will be missing the Bay View Player’s 35th Anniversary. I have been scrolling through all the updates and celebratory photos on Facebook and can’t help but feel so incredibly moved with each new post. I have been even more reconnected to the Bay View Community this year through Janet Tanury’s posts, sharingContinue reading “The Glitz in My Heart”
Defining What Matters
So many of us live day to day in a constant state of overwhelm. We excuse it by saying, “Once I finish “blank”, I’ll be able to settle down a bit. Unfortunately, sometimes what we proudly and consciously spend our time on, becomes a complete waste when we look back in hindsight. I’ve always lovedContinue reading “Defining What Matters”
Returning to Real Life
Ok folks, tomorrow we test how we carry our well-simmered serenity back into our real lives. For many of us, whatever vacation we’ve had over the last few weeks is coming to an end tonight.

I Would Ask the Teachers
To my friends and family who are (or were) teachers: I need your assistance. But first, I will give a bit of background for context. I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature with a minor in Education. I sometimes view myself as a “sell-out” who chose the corporate ladder over teaching America’s future. ButContinue reading “I Would Ask the Teachers”
Life Finally Recognizes the Empath!
Over the past week I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting two extraordinary women through my endeavors in National Women in Business Month. Both ladies own successful women-owned businesses; both are driven to bring out their clients’ true and full potential. Both of their websites can be found here: http://reneegambino.com/ http://storystrategies.net What was soContinue reading “Life Finally Recognizes the Empath!”
Power to the Sisterhood
“You can always tell who the strong women are. They are the ones building each other up instead tearing each other down.”-Unknown It is funny to use the word sisterhood, as I grew up an only child. I also have a very challenging and strained relationship with my own mom. But I was lucky enoughContinue reading “Power to the Sisterhood”
Nutrition for the Soul
“Take Time to do What Makes Your Soul Happy”-Unknown I’ve been reading seriously for about a year now about physical nutrition. I’m forever trying to get healthy and get to my ideal weight, while constantly falling prey to eating due to stress and emotions. I truly believe that if you get your sustenance right, theContinue reading “Nutrition for the Soul”
