Yesterday, I wrote a Facebook post about happiness. As the day went on, I realized it was more about joy than happiness. The funny thing about joy is that I have a good friend named Joy and another good friend named Jim. We joke about Enjimming your day rather than enjoying your day. So, …
Today Tony, Frank, and I offered Holiday Hugs in downtown Chicago (Michigan Ave./Pearson St.). Before the pandemic, this event was our biggest one-day hug event. We would each get 100+, and people would be lined up to get a hug. People were in a festive and hugging mood. I’ve been hugging since 2008; two …
For over a year, I have shared a ‘repeat after me’ affirmation on Facebook. As I posted my affirmation this morning, I realized I had never shared them with you. While some of you may be Facebook friends, many of you probably aren’t, so let me share some with you. Today’s repeat after me: …
Yesterday was election day here in the states. Some people woke up today in celebration, while others were feeling sorrow. It reminded me of something I ask myself often: “Whom do I want to be, and how do I want to show up in this beautiful and messy world.” I especially ask …
What is it you are waiting for? A new job, home, relationship, healthy body, or something else? I’ve indeed found myself in that situation – waiting for it to happen, waiting for something to happen. I’m in it right now. I’m waiting to hear news about a big opportunity, and it’s down to the wire. …

Do you have a dream you yearn to come true, and yet it hasn’t? Or it’s taking much longer than you expected? Me too. Perhaps this will help. I was talking to a client about something in their life that is taking a long time to manifest. The client told me they were frustrated …
How are you feeling the majority of the time? The majority is 51%, not 100%. I strive to be in the 90% of coming from a LOVE, kindness, compassion, and peaceful space, as they are my top values. That means at least 10% of the time, fear, frustration, anger, sadness, unworthiness or any other …
You have heard me say it dozens if not hundreds of times – life is beautiful and messy. I coach, speak, and write about positivity, and I believe all of that exists within the beauty and messiness of life. It’s about heightening the beauty through celebration and lessening the messiness of sorrow. It’s about joyful …
I was heading out to the suburbs this weekend to visit a friend and go canoeing. As I was driving there, listening to music, a song came on that I’d heard many times. It’s on my heart song playlist, and I LOVE it, but I heard it differently today. The song ‘On My Way’ by …
