“Who Cares About Your Preorders?”
I get it. The emails. The posts. “It’s so much. Who cares about these preorders of this book?” But really I wrote this BOOK FOR YOU. Remember that time you had a job interview, and you couldn’t wait for the return call? Remember when you were a kid and you were praying/hoping you received that […]
The Art of Self-Forgiveness
Published First on Medium.com For a really long time I carried the burden of self-hatred. From a young age, I was always made to feel that I was shameful — in a myriad of ways — none of which were on purpose from my family. It was a sign of the times and an oppressive church at […]
Sarah Ban Breathnach: Affirmations & Gratitude
I found myself nodding as I spoke with Sarah Ban Breathnach. As she told me about her “vision board” back in the early 1990’s, after Simple Abundance had been rejected over thirty times (or was it by thirty publishers). How she kept going, never giving up, making the hard choices. I felt this–with all of my […]
You Ain’t Broke
“It’s not about the WEIGHT. It’s about the weight of LIFE, and how you COPE with it.” – Something apparently I said 😆 2012 (pictured here) doesn’t go down as my finest year. 2013 was outwardly successful because I did my first IRONMAN, but then 2014 was probably the bottom of the bottom, with […]

In the Rumbles of Uncertainty: Three Weeks to Everything (or Absolutely Nothing)
My book, The Year of No Nonsense, slams into publication in three weeks. It’s also hitting shelves in stores that I never imagined possible: amazing indy stores across the country, Target, Wal-Mart, Barnes & Noble. I can’t imagine what it will be like to be buying my carrots and hummus in Target, and rolling down […]
The Queen of the People Pleasers
…Oh, and “Queen of the People Pleasers” 🙋 Part of the NONSENSE that I uncovered when I started my quest for a #YearofNoNonsense? Well, I had become a massive, timid, people pleaser… at the expense of my own sanity, reputation and more. Reputation–whatever. That’s also some Nonsense I uncovered. LESSON: You just can’t control what […]
