As leaders, executives, and business owners, we often get told and believe that “it’s lonely at
the top.” That the higher you go and grow, the more you stand on an island of one.

What if, or better yet, imagine if … that was not the case.

Imagine if, instead of feeling isolated, alone, and like the lone wolf...

I am a huge baseball fan. I’m talking crazy, obsessed, nut-type of fan. In fact, when the Chicago Cubs finally won the World Series in 2016, I lost my freakin’ mind … seriously, it was both scary and comical at the same time. I get lost in the sport, emotionally, and totally invested.

You see, baseball is in my blood.

I don’t know about you, but I love the feeling of things coming down to the wire. You know, that adrenaline rush of trying to bring something in at the 11th hour … that feeling of energy that builds up as you think about how much time you have left. 

There is something about that buildup that opens up huge creative...

Twirling, swirling, spiraling, floating … I feel like I’m doing all of these things, yet none of these truly capture my current state, as I feel like I am all over the place these days. It’s also been interesting writing again, journaling every morning, as I find the words are grateful to be expressed, and that they want space...

Recently, I have been having really vivid (sometimes lucid dreams) as if a movie is playing, and I am both watching the movie and starring in it simultaneously.

Simply being linked on social media, or being on someone’s email list, doesn’t ...

Lately, and, I’m not sure why, I’ve really had a tough time with Tuesdays. I miss my morning workout, feel exhausted and beat up, struggle to get out of bed, and just have a slow start to my day. By the afternoon, I usually bounce back, and usually even get a workout in. However, there is just something about Tuesday mornings, and my...

I’m not sure why, but sometimes I find myself getting annoyed and irritated at the littlest of things. I mean, there are these moments when everything sets me off. Sure I could blame the energy of the moon, or whichever planet happens to be retrograding at the moment … yet, I know it goes much deeper than that.

I feel annoyed...

This past weekend, I indulged a little and made myself some waffles (they were only the good protein ones from the freezer section … but, still waffles, nonetheless). As I was beginning to butter my waffles after they popped up from my little toaster, I found myself amused at the way I was buttering them.

I was being very...
