- Yes, you can create your destiny with some help and a lot of hard work

Secrets to Avoid Getting Stuck (Get Ready to Make a Shift!)
Secrets to Avoid Getting Stuck (Get Ready to Make aĀ Shift!)
I hope you, your loved ones and colleagues are all staying healthy!
Did you know that it will take 2-4 weeks for pipelines to fill up once we start driving and flying around more, and the demand for gasoline starts to rise? This was surprising to me when I heard last week from an industry expert.
Just like we donāt want to be stuck in our driveway with an empty tank when everyone else is starting their Summer, we donāt want to be stuck in comfort/survival mode when others are prepared for the next level of normal.Ā
For some, the last 8 weeks has been absolutely devastating and for others itās been an almost welcome disruption to a pace of life that was not sustainable. Maybe itās been somewhere in between. Safe to say for most, itās been challenging in one way or another, and I honor YOU for doing your best.
There is still a lot of uncertainty,Ā but hereās WHAT WE DO KNOWā¦
This is a fluid situation that is moving towards ...

Need an A.M. Routine Refresh?
Have you been waking up recently feeling anxious, even if you are not typically an anxious person?
Or maybe you are a bit anxious and itās been worse lately?Ā
Iāve hosted multiple live webinars and trainingās this month, and this is a recurring theme among women like you (and their amazing male allies too!).
Interesting timesĀ often require a morning routine refresh, so we can start our day feeling in-control and calm. Have a look at my worksheet,Ā Rule Your Morning, Rule Your Day, so you can do just that. Itās in a format that is appropriate to share with the crew too (kids or colleagues).Ā
In the worksheet you will learn to gain clarity on a morning routine that makes sense for you. PLEASE use the suggestions as a guideline and fill in with whichever things serve you and in whichever amount you can commit to.
I cannot stress this enough...
CONSISTENCY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN DURATION OR DOING A LOT OF THINGS.
Just start and be consistent. Maybe soci...

In my household, I have one son who is in Nevada with his girlfriend and her family (Iām in California), and my younger son is on the tennis team and a senior at UC Berkeley. TheĀ tennis season was cancelled, all of his friends went home and there will be no formal graduation ceremony (except at home!).Ā My daughter (age 20), is supposed to be in Honolulu right now with her best friend for Spring Break. As you can imagine, sheās not too thrilled to be at home with me! Despite it all, everyone seems to be taking everything in stride (most of the time:).Ā
