Julia Cameron calls this an Artist Date, I prefer Work Field Trip. I’ve already mentioned how the invitation to attend the Premiere Event for Cavalia’s Odysseo in Irvine this weekend already fulfilled my dreams! This show, and this assignment, took me on a creative journey magically stirring something awake in my soul. When I received…
His radiant smile attracts one’s gaze as the wind flutters through his hair. His British accent draws one in rendering people far less willing to resist. His irresistible confidence, magnetic energy and passion for everything he touches keeps us unable to avert our gaze! In a minute, I would turn myself completely over to him….
Many women go to work knowing they’re paid significantly less than their male counterparts. More men than women are high-level executives, sit on boards, and become politicians. Women feel they don’t get the same respect and blame glass ceilings or “Good ol’ boys” clubs. When half of our population is female, how can this still…
Challenges, any changes, energize me. Call me Grace (under fire), I’m a sucker for deadlines – they’re part of my creative process. When sudden reorgs at work occur, I hunker down and work through tumultuous times. When baseball adds another 2 teams’ practices in one week, I rolled with it. Strengthsfinder 2.0 says I’m a…
Since none of my high school girlfriends, nor I, had the opportunity to fly to Chicago to see Oprah’s show before it ended, today my friends (that I’ve known for almost 25 years!) and I attended the next best thing! Oprah’s O You 2012 in Los Angeles! I learned many gems and will share them…

Have positive goals, not just looking to escape something. Importance – The…
“A river cuts through rock not because of its strength but because of its persistence!” –Jim Watkins “Obstacles are those frightening things that become visible when we take our eyes off our goals.” –Henry Ford (thanks Karina Saenz-Gutierrez for dropping these two gems in my pathway today!)
Let me introduce you to Meyers & Briggs. You may recognize the implication of these letters – to identify one’s personality type – even if you don’t know their meaning. While researching the colors of my parachute, I tested to see if my instincts and the experts agree about what I do well. This stemmed…
I’ve been asked where I get ideas for my daily blog. My better posts come from wandering after a train of thought intersecting my day. Some days I rely on prompts. Today a question leaped off the page at me continuing the train of thought for where ideas come from. I immediately had an answer…
My name is Sarah and I am a blogger! I no longer have to hide my dirty habit! After celebrating my 100th day blogging by attending a blogging seminar I am validated and energized that one can follow many realistic paths to various careers that didn’t exist 5 years ago or even 5 days ago!…
At 10pm I received a Monday Challenge (reblogged below) to do something nice for myself. Not one to turn down a dare, I felt ideas boiling immediately. Truthfully, the thought of staring at Alex O’Laughlin for 2 hours made me blush like a crushing schoolgirl but I settled for celebrating the highlights of today, and…
Part of my growth involves remaining open enough while wandering to see the signs that the universe broadcasts.
