We’re a little over three weeks into the year… and by now many “New Year’s Resolutions” have been abandoned… great plans have been filed right in that round bin labeled “trash”… But does that mean failure? Do you think of success and failure as two opposite things? Two different roads to be traveled like that [...]
Three words to focus on for 2012. Last year I used the three words strategy (Breathe. Balance. Grow.) and did great focusing on it until we moved half way through the year and I forgot to put the words back up on my bulletin board. But when I looked back over the year, I realized [...]
In today’s culture, it’s all about “go, go, go” and “get it done.” We’re challenged to be superwomen and stay on top of everything that’s on our lists. Something gets in our way? We charge right through it! When Catherine invited me to add my voice to a conversation about “The Pause,” my first thought [...]
When you look at yourself, do you see limits? Or can you see beyond them? This isn’t a short video. It’s 15 minutes long. And it’s worth it. “There has never been, and never will be, anyone who sees, thinks, or responds exactly the way you do. Whether you’re revolutionizing physics or making a quilt, [...]
This is Therese Skelly. She’s been compared to a roto-rooter for the brain, and an eraser for limiting beliefs. Do you ever feel like you’re the thing that’s stopping you from moving forward?

Can I tell you a secret? When you see this blog post published, I’m scared. There. I’ve admitted it. When you get an email/ezine/promotional message from me in your inbox, my mouse hovered over that “send” button longer than I’ll ever admit, worrying I might have a typo or broken link or someone might be [...]
For this week’s weekend inspiration — an interesting challenge to our own perspectives and preconceived notions: Have you run into any situations where “normal” wasn’t “normal”?
For today’s weekend inspiration, I’ve invited Steve Rice from Karmic Kappuccino over to share some thoughts with you. No, not because his blog name is coffee related (although I think it’s pretty cool). I’ve been subscribed to his blog for several months and it never fails to make me stop, think and challenge myself to [...]
