Self-love helps you attract what you desire. Confidence helps you claim it. 

One thing comes before the other before success.

Self-love helps you raise what you believe you deserve, but confidence "the sureness of self and that self-value is actually the thing that helps you turn that self-love into action to claim it.

You need both - one before the other. Do them both at the same time,...

My daughter has been playing piano for the last 6 years, and every spring, she performs a recital piece that she's worked on over the year. This year, like last, was different.  No recital, so instead, The Hubbs and I got cozy on our family room couches, and she did a "home recital."  

At first, she was a little self-conscious to play to a room of two (ok,...

On the day of love, it's easy to focus on the relationships that surround us and give them acknowledgment and appreciation, but are you missing someone?

You buy chocolates and flowers for your partner or spouse.
You shower your kids, nieces, and nephews with heart-shaped cinnamon heart candies.

Shake your bam bam. Do it. Because it feels good, and right now, we all need a little of that. Here's why:

"Connect with those who see your light and celebrate your flame."

Many may see your light but not all will celebrate your flame.

 “My Jeans Don’t Fit!” There was a time this would have sent me into a body-hate tailspin after a vacation.

There was a time I would have let the number on the tag define how I loved or loathed my body.

There was a time I would have punished myself with joyless exercise and deprivation-style eating to “get back into” my jeans.

Those times no longer exist for...

Quiet. Shhhhhhh..... you can’t hear yourself if you’re listening to everyone else.

I used to listen to a lot of voices that weren’t my own. I had a belief running rampant that if I wasn’t ‘out front talking all the time’ than what I give wasn’t as valuable or important. Wrong (of course). I’ve got a roster of extraordinary women I’ve helped...
