May has been focused on Work and it was the hardest month so far because my natural focus is NOT on work.  I kept myself as busy as I could between 2 jobs and focused on patients and finally made the balance video for Youtube that I've been planning for years, so that felt great!  I got my 30 CEUs done early and booked my CPR.  I organized my work bag and the back of my car for work in a more efficient way.  I used more creative ways to challenge my patients' balance. I got my charting done right away most of the time. I donated equipment, although not that much because I didn't have the opportunity.  I got completely fed up with Accentcare and told my bosses how I felt and it felt good.  It seems backwards for this month, but I've decided I'm quitting that company soon because of all the added stresses they put on therapists and nurses and don't just trust us to do our jobs.  I already sent my resume to Lifespan and they said they could use help in Coronado and Imperial Beach, so I'm excited about that, although I won't probably start until late July because of all our upcoming trips! I did not feel as though I did as great this month with the planned focus, but after typing all that, I believe I did!  Now, June is Nature month and I'm very excited to start that one focusing on conserving, recycling, reusing, cleaning up and enjoying the Earth in which we live, educating myself with documentaries/Blue Planet like movies, and spending time getting to know all these birds that Imperial Beach is known for.  I always thought my Mom's bird watching was kind of kooky but now I totally get it!!

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 ...
