MOXIE:  The Trailblazing 20-Minute Daily Practice to Embrace Your Power, Forge Your Path, and Live with Clarity, Confidence, and Courage.
​
Potholes—those small, persistent disruptions in our daily lives—can feel like nuisances. They show up as running late for an appointment, dealing with a difficult colleague, or facing tech glitches that derail your schedule. While they may not stop you entirely, they slow you down and test your patience.


At first, these moments may seem irritating and unnecessary. But they also offer an opportunity for mindfulness and growth. How do you respond when life doesn’t go perfectly? Do you allow small frustrations to snowball into bigger issues, or do you pause, breathe, and adjust your mindset?


Here’s the truth: you are the chooser in your life. You get to decide how to react—and, sometimes, whether to react at all. Protecting your inner peace is your foundation, and it’s non-negotiable. When you prioritize it, decisions become clearer, and life feels more aligned.


This is your gentle reminder: the power to maintain your inner peace, even amidst life’s potholes, is already within you. Pause, breathe, and choose wisely—you’ve got this.


Strategy for Potholes:  
Shift your perspective. Instead of seeing these moments as annoyances, view them as chances to practice flexibility and gratitude. For example, being stuck in traffic could become an opportunity to listen to a podcast or practice the mindfulness practice of breathing. By reframing these minor setbacks, you reclaim control over your mood and your day.  To reframe navigating daily irritations, consider these questions:

• What emotion appears when you are irritated?
• How do you react?  Do you implode and blame yourself?  Do you explode with blame others?
• What is the story you are telling yourself?  Is there an opportunity to rewrite this story?
• Why are you giving your power away to this minor irritation and letting it ruin your day?
• What boundaries do you need to set that prioritize your needs?

The Message:  Maybe you’re feeling stuck, bored, or frustrated. It’s not that you dislike your life—it’s just that deep down, you sense there’s something more. More meaning. More excitement. New connections, adventures, and possibilities waiting to unfold.

Here’s the truth: those possibilities are always within your reach. Sure, you might not quit your job overnight or master a new skill in an instant, but every single day holds countless opportunities, shaped by the choices you make.

Sometimes those choices feel small, almost insignificant. Why not stick with what’s familiar? Why not stay in your comfort zone—it’s called that for a reason, after all.

But what if, instead, you chose possibility? What if one small change—one tiny shift in how you think or act—could set the stage for something extraordinary? Even the smallest adjustments can open doors you never knew were there.

The first step? Start here.

Do you have space in your calendar for new possibilities?
Does your living space have space for new possibilities?
What are your curiosities and obsessions these days?
Can you have fun creating more space in your life and see where it leads you?

With the new year, I've decided to take a fresh approach to Mondays. Historically, Mondays have arrived with their fair share of stress and anxiety, serving as a stark reminder of weekly responsibilities and never-ending to-do lists. But Mondays don’t have to carry the weight of dread. In fact, they can become something we look forward to...

An opportunity to invite in magic and possibilities!

Below is a list of my favorite ways to add a little magic to my Mondays: 

• Set an intention for the week - think of Mondays as a fresh start filled with possibilities.
• Wear an outfit that feels empowering.
• Indulge in self-care - take a yoga class, schedule a massage, or take a hot bath.
• Create a Monday morning playlist.
• Plan a fun activity - a lunch date with a friend or a creative art date with yourself. 

What ideas do you have for adding a little magic to Mondays?


Let’s transform your Mondays from mundane to magnificent!

Happy New Year!  As we step into 2025, I want to take a moment and celebrate the growth, creations, and wisdom you’ve gained over the last year.  Think of this week as a blank canvas - an opportunity to paint the next chapter of your story with bold colors and bright dreams.  

Let's start the year with some "pearls of wisdom" to guide us:

• Confidence occurs when you leave your comfort zone behind and follow your intuition.  
• Courage is staying true to your own values and dreams in the face of adversity.
• Clarity arises not from trying to change the outside world, but from nurturing your inner self.
• Magic lies in realizing that you hold the brush and can create the life you want.

2025 is a year filled with possibilities.  What will you create?
​
Take a moment to jot down one word or phrase that captures your intention for 2025.  A word or phrase that inspires you, centers you, or simply feels right.  Keep it close, let it guide your choices, and watch how it shapes your journey.

Here's mine:  Wonder and Awe.

What's yours?

Here's to a year of confidence, courage, clarity, wonder, and awe.

The Message:  Some call it the School of Hard Knocks, but I refer to it as a PhD in Life.  Some of the Pearls of Wisdom I’ve learned:

• Red flags are not suggestions.
• Actions speak louder than words.
• It isn't my job to fix you.
• If I get angry, a boundary has been crossed.
• I'm my #1 priority.
• I don't need anyone else's approval.
• Only I hold the key to my answers.

​Self-Appreciation. Boundaries. Self-Worth.

The Message:  
For some, the holidays are the most wonderful time of the year. For others, they’re filled with big emotions, complex expectations, and a great deal of invisible labor. Sometimes, it can almost feel like there’s this rulebook—one that none of us have—that lays out how everything should be done during the holiday season. These unspoken expectations can sometimes lead us to focus our time, energy, and attention on things that don’t align with our values or what truly matters.

You may find yourself filling your schedule and saying “yes” to everything over the holidays. I invite you to check in with yourself and note any feelings of overwhelm and stress. These feeling might be signaling that you’re taking on too much.
