  • Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) – A Jewel 20 Years In The Making

    How many years will you stay the course and keep going for your dreams? It took Bart Howard well over 20 years. Bart was a piano player in the Blue Angel cabaret, working on his own music, in the hopes of one day working with his idol, Cole Porter. Most musicians know the name Cole…

  • My Love-Hate Relationship With Comparisonitis

    “I am enjoying showing up as myself more completely.” That was the nugget of gold I rendered from my weekend intensive with my coach this past weekend. Once a quarter I sojourn in Minnesota for a few days to do deeper work to heal my “stuff” and open up blocks around my mindset. Because I’m…

  • I Was Here

    This song was recorded before I left town for the Pink Papaya national conference. It was a song I’d heard a couple of years ago,and as much as I liked the lyrics, I didn’t think I’d ever really have a chance to sing it without sounding pretentious. Thankfully, I was  asked to select a song…

  • Watch The Wind Blow By / Easy (Like Sunday Morning)

    2 I may be ill this week, but I’m not skipping my weekly video. It’s time again for another musical medley mashup! This time, it’s the most well known Sunday song of all time (that classic Commodores hit, “Easy”) with a little country thrown in for good measure (that Tim McGraw hit “Watch The Wind…

  • The Jonah Hill School Of Loving Your Haters

    “Let me be a lesson to you of what NOT to do.” When you’re a celebrity on par with Jonah Hill, that’s probably not the ideal phrase to be uttering to your fans.  In this case, though, Jonah’s sincere apology on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon after being caught on camera making a grossly…

  • The File Clerk In Your Head

    (Author’s note: this post originally appeared in 2011 on one of my old blogs. I’ve freshened it up a bit for you today.) One of the things that really annoys me are those folks that say they want change, but don’t take action when answers are provided. It dawned on me why they don’t budge.…

  • Start Dreaming, Stop Dying

    2 It started innocently, as revolutions often do. I’ve been working (and re-working) my branding and messaging for the past year, and nothing really seemed to hit the mark. I dove into course after course that offered bits and pieces of what I was hoping would help me craft a clearer direction for me as both…

  • Safety Is Your Nemesis

    [Note: I originally wrote this post a few years ago, for my Business Action Hero website. I’ve refreshed it here because it’s still relevant – maybe now more than ever.] “If you are deliberately trying to create a future that feels safe, you will willfully ignore the future that is likely.” – Seth Godin It hit…

  • What Happened In Vegas…

    It was a business trip. 8 days in sunny Vegas, while my family was snowbound, just HAD to have some kind of a story, right? SPOILER: this one begins with guilt, shame, and resentment, and ends up with me feeling like a princess, and six lessons you can use in the pursuit of your dreams.…

  • The Ground Floor

    “Dirt and dust – that’s where it all begins.  Digging in. Digging in. You’ve got to lay a strong foundation before you make it to the ground floor.” – from “The Ground Floor” by Lisa Robbin Young   I’m writing lyrics again. It’s been about
