This takes the most courage….

I can’t think of much that takes more courage than to be honest with yourself. I honor all people who do the hard work of personal development and growth. I have been privileged to work with so many great clients over the years who are doing this challenging work. Personal Reinvention month is the perfect … Continued

Just Be You!

Authenticity is something I have written about here in the past. I am feeling the spirit of summer (again/still!) and the idea of letting things go, shedding things and getting back to the necessities is speaking to me right now. What is necessary? Know that for yourself is important. What is necessary- for YOU? If … Continued
