As the world comes alive, I'm reminded how nature takes it's time. Not rushing. Patiently waiting until the time is right and then -- whoosh, everything is alive. And so I need to have the bravery to be patient and wait, too. For everything that's coming!

You probably guessed from the title of today's episode that today I'm chatting about my dad. Although I'm sad -- it's not a 'sad' episode. I share some of the smaller stories about my dad that I don't often tell.

As promised, retreat episode #2! Some observations and thoughts -- ranging from the power of a voice to my MOM! It's hard to say goodbye to these retreat weekends so I've loved keeping that energy alive over the last couple weeks!

I recently wrapped up my sixth retreat so I'm going to have a couple 'retreat-centric' episodes. Today, I'm sharing a big theme of this retreat -- how, with awareness, we do better than the previous generation. We will still make lots of mistakes, but we won't make the same ones.

Today's episode is inspired, yet again, by my friend Cara Bradley. The title of her email 'You Don't Know How Great You Are' just hit me. Because she is 1,000% right. We think everything we do is just all in a day's work, no big deal, par for the course. And we're wrong!

Today's episode is about crying. And if you are bit concerned, no, I'm not crying the whole episode! Tears bring a relief -- like letting some of the air out of a balloon. So, let's talk about tears today!

I love today's topic. No, it's not really about golf! Well, it kinda is. It's really about that feeling you get when you just feel called to do something -- when your internal compass is talking to you and decide to listen. I love that moment.
As an added bonus, I'm including the 'Hole in One' video here so you know I didn't make this story up!

Today's episode is inspired by a wonderful email written by my friend, Cara Bradley. Sometimes friendships end because it's just the time. Maybe nothing big or dramatic occurred. It's a quiet end. As painful as it is to admit, I think this is a natural course for some friendships. And that's O.K.

Today's episode is a follow-up from Tuesday's. So the big question is: were my fears warranted?? Secondary questions answered include: did Andy live up to his wife-proclaimed title of 'Dr. Disney?' Did I actually purchase Epsom salt to survive a Disney vacation? And, how many strangers do I become besties with??

Yes, as the title of today's episode implies, we are headed to Disney World for Spring Break and, although it may be the happiest place on Earth, I'm a bit nervous. 'Why??' you ask. Well, you'll just have to listen to find out!
