My mama and my sister.
Forever entwined by a lifetime of shared experiences, stories and adventures.

Every day, they inspire my personal leadership decisions and journey.

Every day, they inspire both grit and grace in the expected and unexpected bends in the adventure of my work and life.

We hold on.
We hold on to our values, our faith and our aliveness through it all.

Leadership is a lifelong commitment, yes?

With smiles...

A Saturday gratitude shout-out to my husband of thousands of years. Well, not literally thousands... but you know, a very, very long time.

We are both Type A humans aka strong-willed with distinct personalities. We share a similar (not exact) worldview and most of our core values are polar opposite.

It's been a wonderfully interesting journey - and I'm grateful for it. I'm truly and sincerely grateful for Don.

Better together doesn't even get close to describing our journey of work and life in this messy, messy beautiful world.

Thank you Don for being the amazing human that you are. Here I am - still grateful for you.

With smiles.....

If it was December 31, 2025 - what would you look back on this year and hope to have have experienced?

Time to be present to what you want more of, noticing what the 'more of' is about...(?)

Be curious.
Is it externals?
Is it stuff?
Is it in your control and agency?
How important is it to you?
How does it add meaningful satisfaction to 'who you are'?
Why does it matter?
Who will go with you?
How will you get there?

Lead yourself well.

Bittersweet - perhaps that's the best any of us can expect in our wild and wonderful, messy and challenging work and life.

It's okay.
It all belongs.

Given all the circumstances of right now, right here (and the projections of what might yet occur):
1. What is the PERSPECTIVE you want to choose in the next days/season of mind-management?
2. What are YOUR core values that you want to respect and honour?
3. What are your patterns of thinking and doing that are NOT serving the things that are most important to you?
4. When and how frequently will you check in on how you are balancing unending challenges and things outside of your control?

Reframe.
Redirect.
Refocus.
Rewire.

Lead yourself well.
