Given that I help people get started working on goals and reach them more easily, why is it that I never encourage New Year’s resolutions?
Because for the most part, they don’t work. Intentions on the other hand, do work. And using them makes the process of achieving something a lot more enjoyable.
Do you know that only 8% of people reach the goals they set? 8%!!! That’s all!
And knowing the seasonal time for setting goals is closer every day.
Dream big. Because dreams give rise to the journey. And that path, the training, the lessons that bring growth, the connection --- in relationships and to something bigger than you, experiences that create memories that last forever.

Finally… our lives are happening again. Our world is opening up.

Read MoreWe’re at the end of our blog series on grief. I hope you come away with tools to help yourself and support others during the journey that grief takes us on. Over this series of blogs, you’ve learned that experiencing feelings just means it’s time to pay attention - and to feel those feelings. Letting go of some of the pain.
Read MoreGrief can be a difficult topic to talk about. Letting go lets you remember the person or experience and be free of the pain of the loss. When you hold onto pain, you’re likely closing your heart so you won’t feel the hurt. Which means you close it off to fully feeling love in other relationships.
Read MoreI believe that too many people suffer when they grieve, and it doesn’t have to be that way. There’s a difference between pain and suffering. Think of suffering as pain with distress added to it. Pain is a healthy, necessary part of loss. Suffering is not.

Just the word embodies everything I believe so profoundly in – gratitude and giving thanks. While many of my readers will struggle with feelings of grief over this holiday, I invite you to find a moment to be thankful.
Read MoreThis has been a year of grief and loss. We grieve those we have lost too early; we grieve the way we used to live, pre-pandemic.
