Eleven years ago this month I made the decision to leave the corporate world and start my life as an entrepreneur.  Just typing that sentence and thinking about all that it represents still gives me chills to this day. It is impossible for me to imagine what my life would look like today if I had not made that decision all those years ago.

I can easily put myself back in that space.  I remember the fear.  Well lots of fears actually:

• fear I wouldn't have the...

The Beetles might have harmonized perfectly that 'All You Need is Love', but maybe what you really need is to add a little dash of synchronicity.

Synchronicity is a concept that gained fame thru the writings of Carl Jung.  He saw this as a way to define those occurrences in life that seem so coincidental they must be more than just happenstance.  He called these occurrences meaningful coincidences, extending them to the mystical and paranormal.  And scientists have...

Wow - I don't know about you, but it doesn't take much to distract me from getting work done.  Today I had an extreme set of distractions attacking me as I tried to write, work, pull tax stuff together and get my home ready for visitors.

Puppies!  

Who can work when there is a puppy around?  Hard, right?  Well that was really compounded today as I had 6 puppies.  And not just any puppies, but SIX RESCUE GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPIES!

Fortunately, since it was sunny,...

I feel like I have so many things to share from my latest travels!  First, I now know why so few people travel to Antartica - it is very, very far away.  And definitely not an easy trip.  I was gone for 15 days.  This included 2 days of adventure in Argentina and 3 days of excursions in Antartica.  With the remaining 10 days being spent getting there and back.  

That's a lot of transit time - planes, cars and ships - and I managed to enjoy just...

I was listening to Oprah's Super Soul Conversations podcast today because I've been tuning into her interviews with Eckhart Tolle, a mentor of mine. They are exploring his book, A New Earth. 

In the episode I listened to today, Oprah and Eckhart discussed how to manifest stuff, like jobs, money and the overall fantasy life you want. The obvious reason we are fascinated by manifestion is that most of us would like our lives to be a smidge more extraordinary than our...

Have you ever thought, "Yes! I want to do THAT!" And, you get super excited. You can SEE yourself doing this new exciting thing. It feels GREAT to envision it. Then, 2 seconds (or an hour, or a day) later you think, "I am not sure I want to do that at all." A tug of war has begun in your mind and heart. 

So...you don't do that thing. You leave it behind because you are conflicted.  Then, some amount of time later, someone else...

Our friend Mimi is on her way to Antarctica as I write this.  So this is Lee filling in for her!

You may not have picked up on the heavy hints yet, but Mimi is a born traveler. When we were roommates after college, she saved up for a yearlong trip around the world. I was so impressed by her grit and determination saving up on a small salary to do this thing so big it was hard for me to imagine. 

It was her DREAM, though. And with that shiny, sparkly goal in mind, she did what...

Today we will learn how YOU will (and won't - i.e. "Wonder Woman syndrome") save the world. And I for one can’t wait to find out how you WILL do it! 

Our topic will cover Purpose Envy! We will, among other things, explore what Purpose Envy is and why it can be dangerous for you as you re-create your life.

Lord knows, amidst all the other chaos and "stuff" going on in your life, the last thing you need is a false purpose and a false sense of where you are "supposed to go" or what you are "supposed to do." 

PLUS! You have a perfectly good purpose of your own, that is authentic to you and why you are here,...

Our topic will cover how to know the difference between your passion(s) and your purpose, which can be a VERY confusing topic, indeed. See if you can differentiate for yourself your own passions versus your purpose. 

What do you think the difference is?
