What ARE You Waiting For?

Lessons from a Tinsmith
I have said it before and I will say it again: Self-help isn’t a bad thing and there’s nothing inherently wrong with it! Yet, for many people – including myself at various times in my life – the “problem” with self-help lies in our endless searching and never finding. We think the next course, the [...]
I Still Love Elizabeth Gilbert… I Think
I don’t mean I don’t like Elizabeth Gilbert. I do admire her. I love her work. but she seems to have a hard time with her brilliance. During her TED talk, she suggests that we embrace an ancient concept that the genius lives outside of us. She creates a beautiful metaphor and suggests that if [...]
Expansion versus Contraction
Gosh I love the growth periods—the times when I feel invigorated, alive, excited, that is. However, part of growth is the contraction periods and I don’t enjoy that quite as much. Expansion is exciting, enlivening—the times of being creative, energized, full of ideas, bold, daring. During these times I feel my power and glory, I [...]
Tis the Season to Accept Something About Ourselves – Otherwise Known as “The Moeller Nose”
I have what is commonly referred to in my family as the “Moeller nose.” Some have described it as angular, distinct even. My father once commented that bump at the bridge was regal—I am sure he meant well as he has “the nose” as well. I have always just thought of it as large. Definitely [...]

Summer is officially here. For many women, that means bathing suit anxiety. That means more focus on those “troubling” body parts. That means a last minute purchase of a gym membership that you won’t use. This summer, disrupt the ordinary, draw a line in the sand and set your own standards for body image and [...]
What Are You Waiting For? Who Are WE Going to Be for the World?
Who do you want to be for the world? What difference do you want to make? What legacy do you want to leave? My Mission is that ALL people fiercely disrupt their ordinary by living their self-expression while falling in love with their own AND others humanity. A tall order, maybe… The world is full [...]
Why Addiction?
Why is it that some recover from addictions and others don’t? The tragedy about that question is there is not an easy answer. I wish there was. I know what has worked for me and over the past 20 years I have seen what hasn’t worked for others. Those of us who have been around [...]
