Forced to Launch Last week was about loss. This week is about launch. It follows logically.

Keep Moving Forward: A Legacy Perspective I offer a bonus tweet today setting the stage for this week’s #MAWMondayMotivators. I am inspired by the imagery of tomb, today, and womb.

5-Point Reminder About Development Over Doing With a long list of tasks, the end of March looming, and a few fires to extinguish this week, I found myself in that familiar place of overwhelm. You know that feeling that no matter how much you get done, you never really get anything done. Seemingly, the ToDo […]

5 Cast Offs toward Finding that Creative Space Practically, this means take a chance on another idea. You don’t have to know all the steps. Just get intentional with the next step.

What are you here to do? Now, how do you monetize it? This is not my typical motivation approach. Usually, money doesn’t enter the equation of motivation. But, I am a bit exhausted by people who are failing to reach for their dreams because the numbers don’t quite add up. This week, I want to […]
