I have moved from one place to another my whole life. I’ve lived on 4 of the 7 continents and 9 countries. Anytime you move, it’s jarring to the system. As a kid of age to remember the experience, it felt like my whole world was falling apart. I was losing all my friends, my landmarks, everything th...

Self-Care has never been more important than since the onset of COVID. In March of 2020, COVID started sweeping through the US and we found ourselves in a new, surreal world. Most of us working from home, many having to juggle homeschooling and work. The days got longer and longer, with people worki...

I never saw myself as a courageous person, but as I began writing this blog, I started reflecting on some of the things I’ve done over the course of the last few years and realized that I AM courageous. Funny enough, I seem to be more courageous in doing big things than little things. Some of the bi...

I have always loved traveling and living in different countries. It is incredibly enriching and rewarding and an opportunity to learn about other cultures and about yourself. So, when I was offered the opportunity to work in Shanghai, I was thrilled! At the same time, I was scared to death! I had be...

It’s been 6 months to the day since I left my corporate job. As I reflect on my journey, I can see how I came to this decision. When I was in my 20s and 30s, I chased the titles, the recognition and the money. As I got older, my priorities began to shift. I started looking inward more than outward, ...

When I was still in corporate, I was unexpectedly called into my boss’ office. You can imagine my reaction. I wasn't sure what to expect and wondered if I had inadvertently gotten myself into some kind of a mes...

Self-confidence doesn’t always come easy, especially in this day and age. Trolls are everywhere and we are constantly bombarded with messages that tear down our self-esteem and tell us we're not good enough. But the truth of the matter is you are enough! You just need some more practice believing in...

“You must first clearly see a thing in your mind before you can do it.” – Alex Morrison

Do you remember playing Blind Man’s Bluff when you were a kid? If not, let me refresh your memory. It’s a variation of Tag, where the person who is “It” is blindfolded and must find other players around the room...

“A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes” - Mahatma Gandhi

If thoughts create feelings, feelings drive behaviors, and behaviors determine outcomes then, isn't it time to pay attention to your thoughts? We have thoughts all the time; thoughts that we are aware of and tho...

They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but I disagree.

I moved to America in the mid 80’s after leaving a warm, Latin cultural background. This was in stark contrast to the more distant, Anglo-Saxon culture of boundaries and personal space and I felt lost, like I didn’t belong. Coming fro...

I was taken aback by how blue and smiling his eyes were. When we saw each other across the room for the first time I was smitten. Everything moved so fast from there. We dated, moved in together and a little over a year later, we walked down the aisle with promises of everlasting love.
