Since I announced my partnership with Zync from American Express on the quarterlife project, I’ve gotten many questions that sound something like this, “I thought you advocated getting OUT of debt, why are you working with a credit card company?” Yes I absolutely support not racking up credit card debt which is exactly why partnering…

“Once again, we come to the holiday season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice.” – Dave Barry Happy Holidays!!! Or does it feel more like a HoliDAZE to you? I’ve noticed how we often allow ourselves to get stressed out…

Are you working alone or inviting others to play with you? “There is no such thing as a self-made man (or woman!). You will reach your goals only with the help of others.” -George Shinn This week I had such a fabulous time shooting video content for my new website which will be launching in…

“Who cares if you’re enlightened forever? Can you just get it in this moment, now? -Byron Katie Last week I completed a very long cycle of travel – from Oct 26th thru December 5th I slept in my own bed a total of seven nights. By December, I started to get a little loopy as…

“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” – Michael Jordan Happy week after Thanksgiving. Now that you’ve eaten all your leftovers and are back at work, are you still feeling grateful? I noticed myself slipping into a post-holiday funk (too much turkey?) and caught myself forgetting to…

I’m writing this post from Costa Rica while here on a working and visioning retreat (although not a lot of “work” is being done!). Yesterday, I had my second surfing lesson which I begrudgingly agreed to because it was encouraged by our host. My first attempt at surfing about a year and a half ago…

“If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place.” – Nora Roberts Yesterday I was honored to be a speaker at the energizing and inspiring Texas Conference for Women. The entire event…

Now that I have your attention…what are you ignoring? I have been trying to ignore the tire pressure warning light in my car for about three weeks (Dad, I know you taught me better than that!). I kept putting air in the tires but the light wasn’t going off because I was only temporarily and superficially treating…

My last UPdate was about perfection. Today I want to discuss what is often the not so distant cousin of perfection: worry. When we take a break from striving for some unrealistic standard of perfection, our hiatus is often spent worrying about something or someone we cannot control. Worry is a complete waste of energy.…

As I sat down to write this Update, I was blank. I tossed around a bunch of ideas and started a few drafts but nothing felt good enough. I started getting frustrated and just wanted to go eat breakfast to hope for some inspiration (aka procrastinate). What could I write about that would be the…

This week during a coffee meeting while I was in Austin, a friend stopped by on his way back from Whole Foods carrying an extremely large and decadent piece of chocolate cake and something unidentifiable in a to-go box. I jokingly asked if it was a salad to balance out the brick of sugar he…

I’m writing this UPdate on a plane headed to New York because I was hired by Amex to present to an advisory panel and be a spokesperson for their Zync card which is targeted at twenty-somethings. I love this card because it is completely customizable in terms of rewards and requires cardholders to pay their…

This week one of my cherished clients moved to a new city to begin a new chapter of her life. As she sat in her last face-to-face session before she left, tears rolled down her face and she asked, “Does the fact that I’m so sad right now mean I am making the wrong choice?”…

I recently gathered with three of my best most amazing girlfriends for a dinner meeting to discuss a project we’re collaborating on. Soon we realized there was a fifth guest at our table: disappointment. Our business agenda was scraped as we realized our plates were already full of something else. We spent the evening navigating…

Last week I was home in Dallas celebrating my mom’s birthday and had a wonderful opportunity to let go of some old stories. Thanks to Facebook, I reconnected with a high school classmate and met him out for dinner to catch up on the past 16 years. While we were talking, I was sharing about…

Our next group will be Wednesday September 1st at 7:30pm. I REALLY encourage you to make a commitment to come – it DOES make a difference to participate in gatherings that are not just social, but supportive as well. In these busy lives of ours we get wrapped up in the masculine ways of doing,…

Like you I suspect, there have been times in my life where I’ve felt like I needed some extra support and encouragement. And there have been times when I craved more understanding. And of course there have even been times where I’ve doubted, lost sight of hope, and experienced a longing for love. We all…

Last week I had the opportunity to walk a Labyrinth with a large group of people and it was such an exquisite experience so of course I wanted to share it with you! What is a labyrinth you ask? Well, Labyrinths are a kind of archetypal design that have been in existence for hundreds of…
