My mother just told me... "Amy, you're like a giant gust of wind shooting through a room. You clean it out and make us all rebuild what's there the right way." And I looked up at her and said, "That's good. I am. You're welcome." Honesty is hard for some. Rather....many. It's hard for MANY [...]
You never have to follow the crowd. In fact...I strongly encourage you not to. I used to think, at least in business that there was a "right" way and a "wrong" way. There's no way but YOUR way. That's the authentic way. That's the way that's easy FOR YOU because it's true TO YOU. It's [...]
Do you know what is way more important than anything else in life? The way YOU feel about YOU. It's everything. Once you establish a strong foundation for who you are and what you're worth...truly the other "stuff" we encounter gets a tad "easier". What I mean is...when you know your value and worth...nothing can [...]
What would my best self do? Have you ever asked yourself this question? This is coming up a lot lately in client sessions and in my own life. For years I didn't know what my "best self" represented and the more I began uncovering my own inner layers, the more I saw who I really [...]
Stop your worrying...You were made to be the way you are. Perfect in every way. It sounds corny...but it's true! Make your jokes. Laugh at yourself. Be your fun, dazzling self. When you let yourself be free...life has a way of being super rewarding. Often we're downplaying ourselves. Hiding our true selves. Suppressing our personalities to try to please, perfect or be accepted [...]
Sometimes all we can do is step back and surrender. Step aside and allow whatever is trying to unfold to appear the way it wants to. With "holidays" (I use that term loosely) like Valentine's Day approaching, it's easy to up our expectations. It's easy for us to dream up scenarios that we hope will [...]
You can have compassion for someone without trying to figure everything out. You can try to understand another's point of view without fully knowing why they actually think what they think or did what they chose to do. When we just step back and allow people to be what they are, without our humanly assumptions, [...]
I know we all have caught ourselves comparing what we have to the person next to us. I know it has happened if not once but at least twice (or more) in your life. It's happened in mine too. I used to wonder why others had things that I wanted and wished for in my [...]
You are inspiring! Yes...YOU! We often get into a habit of downplaying our own abilities. I know I do this all the time. We feel as if someone else can always do it better than we can. This couldn't be further from the truth and here's why: What you have to offer and the way you [...]
We can so easily get bogged down by life and worldly "stuff" that it takes a toll on our minds, bodies and souls. I was experiencing this the past few days - I wasn't feeling well and wasn't giving my body the break it needed and was craving that I allowed every little thing to [...]
