Happy Thanksgiving! In counting my blessings this year, in addition to family and friends and servant hearts, I’m so thankful for the great advice and quotes I got all year from Team Get Real (counselors, friends, wise famous people). If you are in a place where you are seeking clarity or simply trying to expand…

Get Out Series: Inspired by Walter Mitty and Marina Keegan
On a scale of 1 to 10, how adventurous is your life? How many new places and new experiences have you had recently? I’m shifting my Get Real series to Get Out for the summer, which goes with my own shift from more introspection to extroversion as spring turned to summer and I realized I…
Get Real: Owning our Energy and the Art of Shifting
What energy do you bring to your interactions with others? What about your energy when you’re NOT around other people? Everything has energy and the more you research how energy affects us (from the planets to the phases of the moon to human interactions) the more I’ve become aware of the energy I’m bringing to…
Get Real: What refuels moms?
It’s Mother’s Day weekend 2014 and I want to celebrate Motherhood, but since this is my Get Real series where we search for our authentic truth, I wanted to share mamas occupying my heart this week and Mom Fuel: 1. Wanda Wonder Mama. Wanda Pratt was a single mom and did what most moms do in sacrificing…
Get Real: Finding Flow and Navigating Transformation
In today’s final mediation in the Finding Flow series, Deepak said, “beautiful truths that lie dormant are not enough.” If you REALIZE something but do not ACTIVATE it into the world, then we are not taking the crucial step necessary to being true to who we are. I radiate light. That was today’s centering thought, but…
Get Real: What does living with intention mean?
After I set this year’s theme to “live with intention” with the call to action to “get real”, I found the following poem from Mary Anne Radmacher whose book is actually called, “Live with Intention.” Obviously, I’m meant to share it with you. Even if all we did was live by this poem, we’d be in…
Get Real: Inside Out on Aging + Beauty
After two months of researching, talking to friends and family in person and online, and thinking about getting real about aging and beauty, I’ve come up with a bottom line. You need to love yourself enough to be yourself and take care of your body (and mind.) If you’re living a life of purpose, you’ll…
Get Real: Are you attracting what you want?
Do you know what you really want and how to get it? This week we’re getting real about the Law of Attraction (which was around long before The Secret came out). Quick definition: “I attract to my life whatever I give my attention, energy, and focus to, whether positive or negative.” It’s pretty no-nonsense, basic…
Get Real: Are you Trusting Your Intuition?
Do you trust your inner voice? How can you tell the difference between intuition and desire or reasoning? Intuition is “the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.” So it’s more like a “blink response.” I think of it as pre-thought which comes from the higher self – that part of…
Get Real: My Top 5 Parenting Fails
Out of all the weeks I’m “getting real” about this year, this one might be the hardest. Why? BECAUSE PARENTING IS THE HARDEST JOB IN THE WORLD. I know we all know that, but because we don’t get a degree for it and *some* of us didn’t take family and consumer sciences in high school,…
