In last week’s Monday Motivation, we talked about getting outside our comfort zones. This week, we focus on letting go of other people’s expectations. Whenever we make a life change, embark on a new journey, or do something we’ve never done before, we typically want to share what we’re up to with our friends and …
Hey there, I’m so excited to announce that Monday Motivation is back AND it’s now in video form. Woo! I can almost hear your shouts of joy through the interwebs… I hope this is a better way to deliver some inspiration first thing Monday morning. Please email me your feedback or let me know if …
Okay you’re pissed. And you’re trying really hard to not react, lose your cool, or overdramatize the situation. I could give you some gentle Buddha quotes to ease your temperament, but I doubt they’d help right now. A punching bag would probably be more useful. Or maybe some kitten therapy.

That’s why it’s so important – so very, very important – to stay close to those who love us. Because every so often, there comes a time …
Sometimes when we feel lost we go into self-loathing mode and it’s hard to snap out of it. But feeling low does nothing productive for our state of disarrangement.
