This is about the “stuff” you run into running your own business, out of your home, with a full time staff of one.
#1. If you haven’t noticed,  allow me to point out that I’ve lost the sidebar on the left of this blog with all the links.  I was trying to put some […]

This week I’m going to start living my New Year’s resolution. Ok - so I am 6 months late.
My resolution? To create a better balance between work and play. Actually, I should have made it: to put play back into my life. Hey, I know it’s not easy […]

We never know who will get their 10 minutes of fame.  Sandy Lahmann didn’t expect it when it came.  But last week, she was told that she has been named the Colorado Ski Country USA Adaptive Athlete of the Year from the Colorado Ski Country USA staff.  
She gets an all expense paid trip to Copper […]

I didn’t get this written yesterday because the day was filled with Father’s Day. First with my own father (who unfortunately has trouble remembering anything other than, “it isn’t my birthday?”), then with my brother (who had “the best father’s day ever” and the father of my two daughters, my husband.

I’ve lived with the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis since 1980. After having had difficult symptoms for two years, the diagnosis was a big relief, particularly since Iwas told that MS was the best news out of the different diseases that the doctors were thinking about.

This weekend I met a neighbor and she was telling […]

I get a lot of email from people asking for “help” and, unfortunately, most of it is in areas I have little knowledge. But this one was different. What DJ shared was so spot on and it felt so good to know that she could see some improvement in her situation. With her […]

I’m coming up on 10 years since I started my own coaching business. (That’s a celebration there, I think.) Recently, I was interviewed by a local magazine about “being an entrepreneur” and I found myself remembering that time. In retrospect, I can say that this wasn’t something that I […]

This spring, I’ve had miserable headaches from allergies. I’m noticing that it’s affecting my relationships. Just today, my dog, Iko, looked at me quite angrily when I cut our walk short because every footfall caused ratcheting pain. The pain gets so bad sometimes that only acupuncture (thank you my wellness medical team) […]

If you’re feeling badly about your job — too much to do, not interesting enough stuff to do or you dislike what you do — it’s easy to blame this on living with chronic illness. Do you find yourself thinking, “If only I wasn’t sick, things would be different”.
It’s easy to forget that this […]
