The bond between mothers and daughters is unbreakable.To mark women’s history month, I want to honor a very special woman in my life: my daughter Laurel.I have been blessed to have so many women who have loved me, raised me, mentored me, and poured into me as I have grown both personally and professionally. They have seen my greatness, seen me at my worst but still believed in me when I did not believe in myself, and have been my life force when I was ready to quit. These women have shared my tears and shared their wisdom to make me feel that I could keep going no matter what.

What have you done for yourself today?Here are 10 Tips to living your ideal life, reach your goals, and have joy today and every day.

I have made no secret of the fact that I start my day with at least an hour of quiet time to read, pray, journal, and set my intentions for the day. Without that time, my whole day feels totally different because I have not connected first to my Guide. I started this practice when my kids were young. It wasn’t necessarily because I chose it – it was because I was being guided by Love. I had been called into a leadership position in a bible study group in which there was daily homework.God knew that I took serving seriously and that one of my biggest character traits is loyalty. To create this new habit of centering myself, I was being guided by Love.

This month is considered the month of love, but actually isn’t every month, every week, and day supposed to be about love?It’s really all there is. We are called to Love.Love each other. Love our families. Love our neighbors. Even love our enemies… (which there really aren’t any when you learn about love).

Are you moved emotionally by music?Music has been a huge source of joy and pain in my life. I am always moved by it.There was a time when I couldn’t turn on the radio or Pandora because of the wave of emotions that would run through me.I’ve loved music my entire life. My childhood dream was to be a singer, so unfortunately for my family they heard me sing A LOT in my bedroom.I won’t tell you who I was singing to on records because it would totally date me (and you may not have even heard of the artists!)All of those songs, and the ones that were popular while I was dating my husband, during our early years as a married couple, and the popular songs while we were raising our children have put time markers in my heart.

How are you doing with the goals you set for 2021? Statistically speaking, less than 8% of the population actually hits the goals they set at the beginning of the year. That's why today I'm going to share with you THREE SECRETS to help you stay on track and be a part of the 8% who will crush your goals this year.

Why do you still need a vision when so much of what happens in our lives is outside of our control?Every year, I celebrate January as Vision month. But this year, the excitement that I usually see online – people energized about reaching their dreams and visions and goals – has been few and far between.

I had an ah-ha moment the other day.As I was scrolling Facebook waiting for my plane to take off, I realized that I haven't seen as many people post about their 2021 goals, the way I normally do this time of year.As a vision coach, I talk a lot about goals, dreams, and setting vision. So I expect to see my social media feed brimming with people sharing how excited they are to crush their goals, to check those resolutions off their list, every January.But this year, I haven't seen too much of that.

If you haven't already set your vision for the year, now is the time to start thinking about it.You know I've been talking about this since before Thanksgiving because I think that the end of the year is always the best time to really think about your vision.

Many of us are just so ready to say goodbye to 2020.So now is the perfect time for me to give you a different perspective about how to start a new year off right so that it's going to be your best year yet.January is my month because it’s vision month. I am claiming January as Viva La Vision month and I'm going to be doing some fun things all throughout the month to support you in your vision, goals, and dreams.
