Fuel Your Inner Drive
I have experienced more major life changes in the past two years than I ever thought I would be willing to undertake. The details of these changes are less important than how this period of concentrated change triggered an internal transformation process along my self-development journey. I am grateful for the resilience that has been [...]
This blog is over a year in the making and finally, I am taking the plunge and sharing it with you. When I started SheTaxi, my intention was and still is, to help women feel better about themselves and get them to where they want to be in their life. It sounds simple, right? Well… [...]
On December 24, 2009 at 9:22am I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I had just taken the cinnamon rolls out of the oven and I had 25 people coming over that evening for Christmas Eve. I was devastated and yet had to hold it together for the family. It was a tender moment and the [...]
I spent several years as a lifeguard when I was a teen and young adult; one of the cardinal rules of guarding is not to risk your own life to save the life of another. What good would it do to add to a dangerous situation by putting yourself at risk too? Life-guarding and parenting [...]

While enjoying the God-given gift of coffee, I met a new friend through old friends (the best present around) named Lynn O’Brien. [...]
I just read “The Power of Walking” in the USA Weekend. It’s a great article reminding us that this easy form of exercise can be done without much preparation or training, regardless of age. Our bodies are made to move. Our time spent sitting at desks, in meetings, watching TV, even attending kid’s activities limits [...]
I have a confession to make. I have stopped shampooing my hair…What? Yup – you read that right. I have basically stopped shampooing my hair. I stopped right around New Years. I know what you are thinking. Do I look as though I have fallen on hard times? Nope! So what gives? After I had [...]
Transition. What does that word mean anyway? By itself it sounds almost calming and natural. The dictionary defines it as a passage from one position, stage, state or subject to another.
