What’s Your 2024 Game Plan? Staying the Course
This year my New Year’s resolution is to continue being true to myself and to continue being me – in as authentic a way as possible – and to move forward on the progress of being present that I have made this past year.
Easier said than done!
Game plan? To remain being as kind and patient as I can be to all those who come into my orbit as well as to myself. This last part can be a challenge as I find I am often my harshest critic, expecting things of myself that I would never suggest to a client or friend.
One of the best ways to quiet that critic is to notice when you are criticizing yourself. Pause for a moment and reflect on whether the criticism is too big. Rethink what you are saying and consider being kinder to yourself – tell yourself what it is you want to be doing rather than focusing on what you haven’t done.
• What have you noticed you are saying to yourself?
• Is it positive and forward thinking or negative and paralyzing?
• Are you being harsh with yourself about the professional goals you did not achieve?
What is your 2024 game plan? I would love to hear from you!

The Humble Comma
During the holiday season, we spend hours with family, friends, colleagues, and even strangers, celebrating all the good things that December brings. It is a good time to think about improving our relationships through the ways we communicate to those in our lives.
Why Wait?
A bucket list is comprised of the experiences one wants to have during their lifetime. It seems that many people hold on to their lists until they are older and have “more time.”
Inspiration Indeed!
I recently went to a concert of one of my favorite musicians: Keith Urban. At age 54, with more than 30 years in the music industry, he rocked a sold-out 25,000-person outdoor venue for 2+ hours on a Sunday evening in 90-degree heat. What an inspiration!

We shouldn’t have to pretend that everything is okay when it isn’t.
One Heart at a Time
On a recent road trip, I stopped in Charlotte, North Carolina and discovered the city loves public art. It boasts over 60 murals, one of which caught my eye and my heart – the Confetti Hearts Wall Mural by artist Evelyn Hanson in the South End neighborhood.
