FOMO Made Me Do It

July 24, 2013 in Adventure, Deciding, Dreams | 2 Comments

Do you have FOMO — the Fear Of Missing Out? Symptoms: Jealousy, longing and chronic wallowing. Common Causes: Other people are doing what you want to do. An opportunity is slipping away. Your ship has not come in. FOMO doesn’t have to be debilitating. In fact, FOMO can push you to act when it really counts. For example, I want … More!

The Day the Ocean Swallowed My Ray-Bans

April 19, 2013 in Change, Deciding | 1 Comment

(Or How to Survive Life’s Choppy Waters) I was on vacation in Costa Rica and it was – ya know – hot as an oven. I was headed to the ocean with a boogie board when my husband said, “I wouldn’t wear your sunglasses out there.” Boldly I said, “Why not? I’m just going to float.”    The foreshadowing was not subtle…and … More!

The Year of Magical Thinking

April 18, 2013 in Desire, Dreams, Imagination | Leave a comment

Last year blew my mind. Some crazy business went down — and I never saw it coming. If you had asked me what kind of year I wanted, I would have said something like “less bumps and more fun”. Little did I know that the fun I ordered would take me to the edge of the world and 14,000 feet … More!

You are braver than you think.

Last weekend, I agreed to be strapped to a wild, red-haired man at 13,000 feet. The two of us fell backward out of an airplane and sailed through the clouds at 120 MPH. It was crazy, daring and so damn fun!! A free-fall dive was NOT on my bucket list – and still I said yes. I’ve been craving more … More!

I did not see THAT coming (safari edition)

July 17, 2012 in Adventure, Imagination, Letting Go | Leave a comment

I recently traveled a gazillion miles to South Africa for an adventure retreat with my favorite life coach, Martha Beck. Basically, this is a crazy combination of African safari and life coaching sessions. Wild, brilliant and far. When I finally arrived at Londolozi Game Reserve, I was casually told, “A water buffalo was hanging out at your cabin earlier. I don’t know if … More!

You’ll see I’ve got nothing up my sleeve… The Magic Touch Magic happens when you wish for something AND let go of your need for it to happen. What kind of hocus pocus is … More!

The Antidote to Mediocrity

March 13, 2012 in Change, Desire, Letting Go | Leave a comment

On Sunday mornings, I ride my bike to yoga class on the beach. My fellow yogis and I practice throughout winter’s wind and cold. (Okay yes, it’s a SoCal winter but chilly still!) On warmer days, we attempt poses in the crashing waves. Surprisingly, I’ve mastered nothing about yoga except the self-titled Falling Pose. After years of practice, you’d think … More!

Flow Rider

November 17, 2011 in Desire, Letting Go | Leave a comment

Ready for something crazy-cool?  Last month I attended a workshop on leadership and communication for entrepreneurs. What was CRAZY is that the teachers were horses. No fooling. Sure, there were two-footed facilitators, but I was going to learn from horses. The frustrating thing about horses is they don’t understand English — or any spoken language for that matter. So, how can … More!
