Designing Clarity for Visionary Leadership & Livable Success
The BOLD (Thanks for Thanksgiving) November is the month for Thanksgiving. I love that our holidays line up gratitude before giving and receiving. Anticipating good things with a heart light with gratitude nourishes joy. I wish you joy. The Whisper (Love of Life) My fingers were scrambling to move the pen fast enough to catch all the …
The Bold (Any Way You Slice It) How often have you heard that the only way forward is to eliminate limiting beliefs? I heard a speaker recently who said that we have a war on time. The problem with declaring war on our behavior, our attitudes and our resources is that, since those things are ours, …
The BOLD (Good Habits Gone Bad) We continue our October theme of Pierce the Transparency™. In order to grow, develop and activate transformation, we must prepare to be open, give permission for learning and figure out how to see what we don’t know we don’t know. Habits serve us. They make it possible for us to save …
The BOLD (Everybody Off the Bus) We’re going to try something a little different this week. It is a week for different things.

Question three, though, prompts the answer that they wanted in the first place. They ask, “Who are you?” and the …
The BOLD (How Does Your Garden Grow?) When I read the quote above, it occurred to me that, being of Scottish descent, I love thistles. However, they can wreak havoc on the landscape. I suppose that is the point. Sometimes beautiful things aren’t the best things for us to keep. Today, We’re tackling the thorny issue of pruning …
The BOLD (In Days of Old) Once Upon A Time… There is a reason that we tell children stories. A story delivers the message in a palatable chunk rich with relatable characters, familiar conflict, and satisfying resolution. The story may be clad in the fantastical, taking place in an impossible land but it runs on an engine …
The BOLD (Self Invest) September is National Self-Care month. Whee. I prefer the term Self-Investment. I think there is quite enough guilt and regret tacked onto the current term, thank you very much. This week, I’ll be discussing why it makes sense to think about investment rather than care.
