The Magic of Working Inspired: A True Story

I love tangible examples of living and working inspired. It solidifies that following inspiration is more than just a nice idea, it’s a productive and viable way to live and work. It leads to collaborations and programs that probably wouldn’t have happened otherwise. And, it makes marketing easy, exciting, and more fruitful. Toward that end I wanted to share a story about something that began unfolding last October, and as… Read More »The Magic of Working Inspired: A True Story

Life’s Curve Balls

I woke up last Wednesday morning to a text message. It was from my sister in California. Dad had fallen and broken his hip. He was in the hospital and heading into surgery later that day. My immediate thought was I needed to be there. And by 11pm that night I was, thanks to a same day flight from North Carolina to California, compliments of my brother and his accumulation… Read More »Life’s Curve Balls

Fessing Up: Sometimes Following Inspiration is Hard [Video]

Following inspiration is about listening to that little voice inside. I like to think of it as my higher self, steering me in the direction that will best serve me. Very often, that little voice is trying to tell me something I don’t want to hear. Or something that will require me to make a change, break a bad habit, or do something I know is good for me but… Read More »Fessing Up: Sometimes Following Inspiration is Hard [Video]

Following Inspiration Full Circle

Even after 10 years, the inspired path continues to amaze me. This week, I did a promotion for my book, The Following Inspiration Experiment, at a sunset yoga class at Jump Off Rock, here in Western North Carolina. The promotion was not something I sought out, or dreamt up. Rather, my friend who teaches the class, and who had read the book, offered to promote it to the class. I… Read More »Following Inspiration Full Circle

Why is change so hard?

Change is hard because it very often requires us to let go of who we are, in order to become who we want to be. Our fear of the unknown, and our affinity for what’s comfortable and predictable, makes change feel scary. However, when you start living inspired, and you set an intention for the life you truly want to live, you must be ready to embrace change. After all,… Read More »Why is change so hard?

Master the Art of Letting Go [Video]

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted and that’s because it’s been quite the undertaking moving my entire life across the country. A year ago my husband, two golden retrievers, and I left California to relocate to the mountains of Western North Carolina. We’ve been busy this past year getting settled into our new home and starting our lives here. I’m finally back to work and I am excited to announce… Read More »Master the Art of Letting Go [Video]

Expectations: The Enemy of Following Inspiration [Video]

How do you know if you’re really following inspiration? What if you’re following what feels like an inspired idea, and things just aren’t working out? What if things aren’t flowing? What if the path feels hard and frustrating? What if it feels like the Universe may be trying to tell you to take a different path? You may just need to let go of your expectations for how you think… Read More »Expectations: The Enemy of Following Inspiration [Video]
