Think Better Than You Feel
I am listening to Joe Dispenza talk about how the mind works and how our subconscious (90-95%) is so much more influential on our feelings than our conscious (5-10%)is. He says we get addicted to certain thoughts, which then make us feel a certain way, the body remembers it and we repeat the cycle over…
Keep Reading...MORE Fabulous After 40
I have never entered any kind of contest like this before, but I loved the concept MORE magazine came up with by having women define why they are more fabulous after 40. The old saying that “youth is wasted on the young” is a great one, but it doesn’t stop our culture from being obsessed…
Keep Reading...Making Space
Yesterday we had our biannual clothes trade. For the last 14 years, five women have been meeting every spring and fall to “trade” clothes. This much anticipated event has become quite a tradition and serves on many levels: It’s the perfect excuse to empty our closets of all those basement bargains, unwanted Christmas gifts, and…
Keep Reading...From CHAOS to CALM
Last night I gave my new program, CHAOS to CALM: Your Prescription From an ER Nurse Turned Yogi at Women, Wine and Wellness, a monthly networking event. A variety of women attended of all ages and businesses ranging from skin care to real estate to event planner. But even as we all had differences, we all…
Keep Reading...Small Change
There is a plum tree right outside my office window I check in with every day. Two weeks ago I started to notice a fuzzy little something on the branches, barely even noticeable. Then it snowed and it was gone. A few days later, I noticed tiny buds starting to form. And then it snowed again,…
Keep Reading...Driving With the Brakes On
As I listened to the lyrics of Del Amitri’s song last night, “When your’e driving with the brakes on, when your’e swimming with your boots on, it’s hard to say you love someone, and it’s hard to say you don’t” I got to thinking….That is exactly what I have been doing. I have been driving…
Keep Reading...It Takes a Village (The Power of the Second Opinion)
So often in life, we don’t know what we don’t know. Hence, the African proverb of “It takes a village to raise a child”, shortened by Hillary Clinton in her presidential campaign to, “It takes a village”. Each of us has our own perspectives, experiences and opinions, which are always different, at least in part from somebody…
Keep Reading...Getting Grounded: "Root to Rise" in a World of Change
Yesterday, I woke up at 6 a.m. to a snowstorm here in Denver, where we enjoyed 16 inches in the north metro area. By noon the sun was out, and by 3:00 p.m. the streets were dry! Our springtime in the Rockies is all about change, volatile change. Come to think of it, I have…
Keep Reading...Can You Hear Me Now? Aging Gracefully with Healthcare Conference Testing
I just returned from Jonesboro, Arkansas for the Annual Girl Talk Women’s Health Conference and was once again reminded that knowledge is power. They had free screenings in the morning including cholesterol, mammograms, ekgs, hearing and eye testing, osteoporosis, and dental. After some cajoling by Emily, the organizer of the event, I decided to be…
Keep Reading...Girl Talk: The Power of Women's Conferences
I am traveling to Jonesboro, Arkansas this week to speak at a Women’s Health Conference called Girl Talk 6. It is a day sponsored by St Bernards Medical Center, The Cardiology Associates, and the Clopton Clinic and provides health screenings, educational sessions, and my luncheon keynote, STOP Living Life Like an EMERGENCY! all for a…
