A few days ago, I held a Follow Your Bliss integrative workshop just for ladies here in Denver and it was fabulous. I’ve always loved the idea of using collaborative brainstorming to help figure out how to knock down obstacles or limitations and move closer to dreams. Each person got to share their dream or passion and the obstacle that keeps them from moving closer to it. What’s great about this format is that all participant get the benefit of being on both sides of the conversations. It’s great that they get to share their own...

If you’ve seen the documentary Man on Wire (a great watch) and especially if you’ve heard the Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me episode with him in it, you’ve likely fallen in love with tightrope-walker Philippe Petit’s bold personality. In this Fast Company article, his philosophy about his high wire career can be applied to anyone’s work or personal life: When we spoke to Petit about how he walks the high wire, our conversation expanded to Petit’s philosophy of how he lives his life on the high wire. We found that...

I’ve always loved the energy and inspiration that comes out of group discussions where everyone walks away completely revived and motivated to excel beyond their perceived capacities. So much can come from collaboration, both for the individuals as well as for the group at large. For this reason, I’ve created an integrative workshop to help women follow their bliss. Each participant will share their dream and their obstacle; everyone else in the group will share their experiences, ideas and resources in order to help that...

I just read an article about the harm done by excessive sitting. This quote caught my attention: Every single hour of television watched after the age of 25 reduces the viewer’s life expectancy by 21.8 minutes. Wow! A study points to the act of sitting (not just watching TV), citing the average adult spends 50-70 percent of their time sitting, which has damaging results due to the “absence of skeletal muscle contractions, particularly in the very large muscles of the lower limbs….When muscles don’t contract, they...
