To be perfectly honest, sometimes the thought of journaling overwhelms me. I find I am afraid. Afraid to put pen to paper. Afraid to uncover my truth. Afraid to really see myself. Afraid to find out what I truly need, what I really desire, and what is being asked of me.

It has me feeling paralyzed with where to even start. Should I say, “D

To say the world, and just about every industry, feels a bit over-saturated is probably a mild understandment. It doesn’t matter what market you play in, it seems the traffic and noise are, at times, a bit overwhelming. 

I think about Roger Wayne and W. Chan Kim’s book, Blue Ocean Strategy and how many people are still swimming in bloody w

In Physics, we learn that a conductor is the material, or vehicle, in which electricity (a form of energy) travels. Metals (e.g., gold, silver, and copper) being among the best types of conductors. 

Conductors allow for electricity (energy) to move easily. 

Meaning there is little to no resistance in the movement of electrons between two

“Root down to rise up.”

If you practice yoga, you may have heard this common phrase a few times, as most yogis and many spiritual teachers find this to be a mantra, or instruction, for how to live one’s life.

At the end of September, I made a commitment to myself. A promise, really. I decided that in order to get back to my writing on a regular basis that I would commit to writing 90 articles over 90 days, consecutively. 

As I am approaching Day #23, I decided to share my declaration with my community, as I wanted to ask for their input. 

I ap

What exactly is a promise? 

A promise is a declaration of a specific intention. It’s a commitment or vow to deliver something based on a set expectation. It’s a contract.

Even if that contract, or agreement, is with yourself. 

Yet, as we are constantly in motion, and find ourselves in the hustle and bustle of things, we often end up over

Crying is good for the soul.

It cleanses the body of a build-up of toxins, of suppressed emotions, and loosens all the gunk that gets stuck in our bodies.

Depending on where you live, you may have been able to witness the solar eclipse we experienced earlier today, along with this new lunar cycle. I live in Austin, so you definitely could see aspects of it as it moved through.

It’s been nearly a year since I said goodbye to my sweet, Payton. After a decade together, which was not nearly enough time, my sweet baby boy was called to cross the rainbow bridge. 

Due to an unexpected rupture of a cancer tumor in his spleen (I had no idea about), my world turned inside out in the matter of 24 hours. Without any warning

As a leader, how often do you check in within yourself and ask the tough questions? You know, the kind of questions that require brutal honesty. The ones that pull back the mask, dig deep into the layers, then excavate through the bullshit and noise to uncover your most profound truth.
