Guess Who I Met: Jeff Kriet

February 22nd, 2013|

I hate to profile anyone, but my image of a fisherman is someone who steals away in the early morning hours to find a quiet fishing hole, escaping his world and keeping worms warm in his mouth. I know many a man who can’t wait to enjoy their hobby, out on a lake with […]

Guess Who I Met: Eileen Smith

January 25th, 2013|

Years ago I met someone who has become one of my dearest friends. We met while waiting to be interviewed on a television show. She was to be a guest too, and we became immediate friends before the camera lights turned on. Eileen has a story that makes any mother shudder and her face […]

Infectious Joy

January 7th, 2013|

“Infectious Joy” was the theme for a conference in Boise, where I spoke five times one weekend.  I could hardly wait to see if the weekend would be filled with laughter or game hunting and me given my own rifle in the mountains.  However, much to my surprise, a funny thing happened at the […]

Wealthy?

December 27th, 2012|

I hope your Christmas was filled with joy and His presence. The challenge has always been to keep the real focus of the celebration of Christmas in balance with all the busy December dates and events, shopping, budgeting, food preparations and anticipating family and all they bring to your table. Our McFamily Thanksgiving and […]

The Stare

November 26th, 2012|

I was sitting in the snack area of Costco while my son and husband were getting a slice of pizza. We were about to tackle the shopping for the week and it was lunch time. Funny as it may sound, the pizza bar at Costco is one of my guys’ favorites and ever so […]

Happy Thanksgiving

November 22nd, 2012|

Happy Thanksgiving!

What are you doing reading my blog today? How is your holiday going? Feeling stuffed like your turkey?

I find holidays to be filled with expectations that are rarely met. I once heard it said that an expectation is a premeditated grudge. With any holiday there are too many variables out of our control; […]

A.D.D., Dyslexia and Blindness

November 8th, 2012|

The other day I told my assistant, Jen, that her A.D.D. is a gift. She began to cry and said, “No one has ever called it a gift!”. It made her feel good about what had always been called a deficiency and a disability. No way! You would need to have A.D.D. to work in […]

Does Your Vote Count?

November 5th, 2012|

Is it my imagination, or does it seem like the whole nation is holding their breath until after Tuesday’s election? Does your vote really count? On Tuesday, November 6, 2012, our nation will vote into office the next President of the United States. It has been declared the most important election of our lifetime. […]

Coach for Life

October 31st, 2012|

Recently, I was asked why I became a Life Coach.  My answer was simple. I have always loved two things—life and people. Couple it with my purpose in life to inspire others to see beyond, coaching just seemed  like a natural addition. Looking back, I have done it for years long before I was […]

Handsies

October 25th, 2012|

Have you ever been in a church service when the Preacher asks all to bow their heads while asking for a show of hands given at the invitation of his sermon? I usually have to fight back a smile on my bowed face. The smile has nothing to do with the invitation but rather […]
