Life Richness Shapes Purpose and Life Goals
I have been an entrepreneur for 27 years and have had so many incredible experiences….many that have had me on my knees that I have had to rise way above after much personal work on myself.
There have been a number of “bizarre” experiences that have taught me many lessons. Things that fell into my lap out of the blue that either caused great pain or superb joy. It has allowed me to grow in demonstrative ways. It has taught me to continue to think out of the box, be creative, be myself more than I could have possibly imagined.
As I look back on the personal experiences of my life I see how closely intertwined it all is. The personal experiences affect my business and visa versa.
And because of the many rich and juicy stories it has helped me to realize that I am a storyteller at heart and these stories are just begging to be told. I am taking the necessary time to mold these stories into my keynote speaking.
When I tell my stories it heals me and inspires others to grow and change and take actions they have not been courageous enough to take.
As an Empowerment Coach, Author and Speaker I help my clients to find their courage, step into their self worth and take actions with confidence. I had to do this for myself and if it were not for all of the rich experiences of my life that may not have happened.
So look at the Richness of your life’s experiences and use this as the fuel to get you to your next fantastic journey whatever that may be!
With Love!

Empowered to Say NO to Unreaasonable Business RequestS
I was an ergonomic consultant for many years (certified associate ergonomist) and a law firm once requested that I consult with all of their administrative staff to make sure their computer workstations were setup for comfort.
The “unreasonable” part was that they expected me to do this work for FREE!!! I could not believe it. When I asked them if they planned to order any of the products I would be recommending they told me maybe about $200 worth.
I told them a big NO as it would have taken me a couple of days to do the job and definitely not worth my time!
And I did not ever see myself as empowered back then…probably a bit annoyed though!
Be Empowered!

Walk the Talk Empowerment
Be true to your nature. Be sure that what you are talking about really is YOU at your core…Then it makes the walk much easier.
It takes courage and commitment and the willingness to be authentic if/when you fall off the path. Life is challenging…no doubt about it. It takes rising above any “less then” situation and looking from another angle about how to make a shift.
Also only committing to something that you feel confident you can “walk with” is a huge factor. The more success you have with this the more self worth you will feel.
Even admitting when you may not have appeared to walk the talk IS walking the talk.
Take it slow. Practice! Build your confidence! The walk will get easier and easier!
Much Love!

Empower Yourself Easily To Do Anything in Four Steps
So you’ve been procrastinating longer than you care to admit. Intellectually you know what to do yet the flow of inspiration seems to have escaped you. This could be because you have not fully tapped into the vast resource that lives inside of you. Some refer to this as your inner magic! Once you connect to this wellspring of positive energy you are instantly empowered with whatever you require to take the necessary actions.
Wondering what the simple solution is to get started without delay?
Write the stories of your life! These stories can then be re-purposed for your book, keynote speech, articles, videos and more.
A while back I was inspired to write 30 stories in 30 days. By the time I had completed five stories I became aware of a common theme. I realized I was extremely empowered to take courageous actions in my youth yet as an adult I never considered myself empowered in any form even though I created numerous products and services that inspired my clients to grow and take care of themselves.
Once I acknowledged the vast resource of courage already a part of me I naturally deepened my connection to it and this inspired me to begin reaching higher for my big dreams.
So follow this 4 step formula and empower yourself to do anything!
1) Carve out some time in a quiet place and reflect on the experiences of your life that have been lingering in the back of your mind. These stories have been speaking to you so they can be shared and they contain rich aha’s and lessons meant for you and your audience. Create a list of at least five stories.
2) Write each of your stories in order of the most compelling and in one sitting to keep the flow. Some may only be one page. That’s perfect! As you become aware of the lessons incorporate them into the story appropriately. Rest an hour or even a day before beginning the next.
3) Notice the theme that emerges from the morsels of wisdom gained from writing your stories. If you see yourself as a speaker the message you are meant to deliver to the world will be apparent in the theme. This awareness fully empowers you with purpose and inspired action!
4) Imagine integrating each of the stories together with this common thread of insight and notice what it feels like in your body. You might notice yourself breathing deeper! This embodied awareness empowers you with the exceptional capacity to accomplish anything you desire.
This exercise will be quite revealing and exciting as you unleash the new you with bigger and bolder actions. At the risk of saying “the magic lives inside of you” … well it kind of does! It is just up to you to discover what kind!
