The Balance Between Gratitude & Managing Expectations

After I sent out a tweet this morning, someone on Facebook commented on the message by saying, “Susan, you sound like you have such an amazing life.” Yes, I certainly do. I love what I do for a living, I’ve got my health, I have a wonderful circle of friends, a great family, I’ve got… Read More

My Truth And What I Know For Sure (So Far…)

Back when I used to subscribe to Oprah’s magazine, “O”, (hey, did you see who’s on the cover of it this month?!!!), I used to love reading the last article written by the queen herself. It was a short essay about something that she knows for sure. A glimpse into her truth. A snippet of… Read More

I’ve learned a powerful lesson recently and that is to resist the urge to rescue people. Spiritual leader and author, Byron Katie, once said, (and I’m slightly paraphrasing) “There are three areas of business. Your business. Other’s people’s business. And the universe’s business. We suffer when we get involved in those two other areas of… Read More

There Is Nothing Going Wrong In Your Life (nor has there ever been)

Sounds pretty far out, hey? Nothing wrong in your life…ever. Yep, you heard me. Perfection 24/7. Since day #1. Things being wrong versus being perfect is a matter of belief. What do you believe to be true about why you are you here? If it’s to be “successful” as the illusions of this world would… Read More
