What do you do when you feel powerless?
It’s 2:21 am, and I can’t sleep. I crawl out of bed and drape my exhausted body on the couch in front of the TV. Late night TV is usually an effective sleeping pill. The microwave dings, announcing that the water is hot enough to make a cup of Sleepy Time tea. But the TV images and words bring me fully awake. In high definition, I see a colorful red, yellow, and white circle spinning across a map of the Carribean. I hear words like”catastrophic” and “150 miles per hour”. The scene morphs into a long line of people hugging their life necessities……

A gentle reminder that tonight is the night!
Please join me on your TV, computer, or mobile device tonight, September 09, 2017 at 8:00 pm ET. Webcast Worldwide on www.radiofairfax.org. Someone once said, “What would you do if you knew you could not fail?” I would make my impossible dream possible. I would create a virtual, global community of intergenerational women, and those who love them, who are fearsome and generous, humble and honest, in pursuit of purpose. Women who come together to create beautifully rendered intimate moments. Women who are looking for a place to call their own. Because of you, my impossible dream is possible. Thank you! Every……

Be together, not the same.
When I walk daily I intentionally “unplug”. There is nothing on my body to indicate how many steps I have taken during my four-mile walk. I listen to the birds singing and ducks honking as they make love to spring. I notice new flowers in bloom. I am at peace. Yet sometimes, today, for instance, unwanted thoughts insert themselves. Today it was the concept of “Othering”. I don’t like it and I like even less the fact that it is being intentionally used in this season’s political lexicon. It is not good news. By “Othering”, we mean any action by……

Things to remember when what you want is out of reach.
Here are a few borrowed thoughts that, at just the right time, reminded me to say, “YES” to the power within me. Maybe one of you is stuck in a moment where they will also help you. “Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith. That’s the super-short version of my advice for those moments when nothing seems to be going as planned—when everything you want seems out of reach. Yes, just be right where you are, with an open mind. Let go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and sincerely appreciate it for everything……

What do you do if you don’t fit?
“In the last 4 years, I have been let go, promoted and even quit jobs. I found myself to be in a constant search for “my fit,” “my people” and “my place.” I have adapted my cover letter so many times that I am not even sure which skills I am really great at and which ones need work. I have interviewed by phone, email and in person. I have been the perfect chameleon with 1-part charisma, 1- part authenticity and 2- parts baloney. You want me to be more administrative, sure. You want me to be more creative, sure. You want me to be more adaptable, sure.I should have……

How do you spell B R A V E?
“Bonnie St. John lost her right leg at five years old to a bone disorder.She jokingly refers to herself as a one -legged African American girl from San Diego with no money and no snow who to took up skiing.

Once Bonnie was speaking at a conference in Worcester, Massachusetts. She wore a skirt and as close to heels as she could while wearing a titanium leg.……

Why should you not be afraid to fail?
Some people make no room for failure in their lives. They run from it and won’t even entertain the thought of it. To do so would be a sign of weakness. A chink in their armor that opposition could exploit. “Failure is not an option” but how do they react when life doesn’t go to plan? Nobody gets it right 100% of the time. Nobody. Not even the greatest at what they do. Usain Bolt hasn’t won every race that he has run. It took Thomas Edison thousands of attempts to invent the lightbulb. Steve Jobs was fired from the very company he eventually transformed the world with. Winning……
