What to Do When You Hate Everything About Your Partner
Did he always leave his dirty shoes like that? Was her voice always so nasally? Did he always ignore my texts? It can start with noticing just one thing that bothers you about your partner—then suddenly, it’s everything. Even the stupid little things that you know really shouldn’t bother you suddenly have you crawling up the wall. Ever heard the phrase “It’s not you, it’s me?” Well, this is probably [...]
It’s Time to Stop Pretending You’re Not Creative
“I wish I could paint like you do.” Women say this to me all the time after they see my vivid, abstract paintings. They say they’d love to have a creative outlet, but they just don’t have it in them. I’m going to let you in on a little secret: a few years ago, if you would have asked me if I’d not only start painting but actually sell my [...]
How to Identify Your Most Unhealthy Thought Patterns
Hello 2017! Thinking of making new year’s resolutions? How about something new? Ditch the resolutions and start with a new perspective.

This Valentine's Day is the 19th Anniversary of my father's death and not a day goes by that I do not think of him. What has changed is that I can now feel love, gratitude and acceptance for everything in my life that has [...]
Why Your Vision Board Isn’t Working
There are few things more fun and encouraging than creating a vision board. You gather some magazines, a pair of scissors, a poster board, and some tape or glue. Flipping through each periodical, you then cut out images of what you would like to manifest in your future—a promotion, car, dream house, ideal spouse, the foreign country you've always wanted to visit, a family of your own, a stack of [...]
One minute to Happiness!
It's December! Can you believe it? When it comes to the end of the year, it is time for holiday parties, family gatherings, fun and connection. It is also a time when we want to run and hide from all of the added busy-ness and stress. This is the time that I consistently ask myself, "Am I fully present or am I focused on my "to-do" list?" This year, give [...]
Dress The Part
Our minds can tell the most dramatic, terrifying stories about our lives. They can also tell the most unbelievable fantasy-like stories. The fascinating thing is that, if you believe one or the other that is what you will create. This Halloween I saw an abundance of wonder women walking the streets exuding a sense of power and confidence. In stating this observation to one of the beautiful Wonder Woman characters [...]
