One night under the stars on a remote Tulum beach, it all just clicked—honest to God.

I thought, if only everyone could experience this, as I gazed up at the dark sky. Sleeping on the beach was way out of my comfort zone, and with those waves crashing so close, I wasn’t sure I’d ever drift off.

a little bit sweet and A little bit salty

Morning coffee, long walks with my  +sexy husband of 43 years, avo toast, Qigong and good skincare (Youtube videos, Popcorn+Wine, what!) 

daily rituals

Guesting on podcasts, on coaching calls with my delightful clients, making dinner, hiking, traveling, RVing, reading. Hangin with the Grands.

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Meaningless moments. I want every second to count, to be purposeful and filled with meaning.  Even the quiet ones

I'm NOT ABOUT:

Straight talk, strong drinks, short emails, data, and cutting out the 'meh' to make room for the very best.

I BELIEVE IN:

A rough start in my small Alaskan hometown pushed me to summon all my courage and take my little family 4,000 miles away from home toward our future. Generations of wanderlust were not to be stopped and I was ready!
Since then we've always done this quirky thing of taking off during times of transition.  Let's quit our jobs and start our own company - ok, we'll kick it off with a Spring fishing trip to the Mountains. 
Running that company for nearly 35 years taught us so much and filled my business soul.  Creating budgets, planning and schedules was my daily routine.  Once I was able to apply it to something I was passionate about my world expanded.  LITERALLY!

I didn’t realize my courage and daring were superpowers at first. 

My thoughts drifted to the friends I wished were there with me.  We'd had so many exciting adventures together.  It was those adventures that gave me the courage to fly here, on my own, to another country, meet up with two of my mentors and 20 other ladies I'd never known and to a place, my God, I never ever dreamed of going to. Yet, here I was.
