I'm switching my blogging days to Sundays now, so to report on the rest of Extreme Nice Week.....it went better than the first part but it was still hard to do when I wasn't feeling well.  Today starts a new week of trying not to say anything negative, ANYTHING. So, I think I'm a relatively positive person and years ago when we watched the Secret, I got even better at turning around what I was saying, like instead of complaining that my foot hurt, I would say, my foot feels about 70% better! Or focusing on a particular part of the body that doesn't hurt.  I remember during our 50 mile run, talking to Kat, figuring out that the only thing that didn't hurt was my teeth, so I focused on those!  I'm older now, I'm achier now, I'm set in my ways more, so it will be hard not to complain about my aches.  It will be hard not to vent about certain job policies that I have a hard time with. It will be hard not to complain if Dustin leaves things out.  I halfway feel like I'm complaining right now, so I will quit that.  But those are going to be the focuses towards positivity this week and beyond!!!  Last week of February already, I canNOT believe that!  I've started making my March calendar of goals and the focus of the month is FRIENDS, yay!!!  That will work out great because Jack gets here March 1st for the March 3rd half marathon, then girls weekend is the next weekend. Then Lexton is here.  I want to try to video chat more with friends and be more thankful for my relationships.  I want to put focus into positive friendships and just have fun!!!

Evolve Life Coaching

  Aloha Friends! As summer ends and we transition into fall, it reminds me of how we, too, should always strive to keep growing and evolving. That's why I'm so excited to share some news with you all.   After 25 years as a physical therapist, and with my master's degree in rehabilitation counseling, I’ve decided to take my passion for helping people and start a new adventure in Life Coaching. Following my additional coach training, I’ll be pairing that with my unique background and expertise to help people navigate major life changes, build confidence, and create clear, actionable plans to achieve their personal and professional goals.

Maybe you want to find a better work-life balance, or need support in tackling a new challenge. Maybe you want to redefine yourself or rediscover that joy and enthusiasm f...

Pier Luck is already a Success!

I've been overly posting on social media about my book release and we had an amazing book launch party and it has me really invigorated to do more! I set my goal pretty high because I want to sell 600 copies of Pier Luck. I haven't told anyone that goal except Dustin, so having it now in writing is a little scary!  It has been a whirlwind of emotions in the last few weeks and I am so thankful for all the support. So far about 70 people have purchased my book. At first I was thinking I just wanted to write this for Dustin and the rest of our family. I didn't really want to "put myself out there" but now I'm glad I did. I'm getting great feedback from readers so far and some people finished it on the first night of reading it! I felt like it was good, but I wasn't sure anyone else would think it was good, so to get that feedback literally made me cry!  My Mom is a little biased, but she is claiming that I have her laughing and crying and reminiscing old ...
