Honored to share some tips on how they can stay focused and firm in purpose as they grow their skillsets and establish their careers...
Also spoke with wellness seekers at the Cancer Support Community on the 4 Ps of Perseverance last week... so hopefully many more will recommit to the notion that we ALL only have today to live "full out"..

Honored to model beautiful couture creations from the Thomas Lavone collection to benefit NJ kids with cancer March 23 in Manhattan. Lucky to elevate and celebrate daring adventures in fashion to benefit kids living with cancer as a sarcoma survivor & caretaker, spokesperson and virtual columnist for a national health advocacy. Always so much fun to glam up and slow down to support a great organization like the Emmanuel Cancer Foundation that provides services and support to make a cancer journey less difficult for the kids. Congrats to Darius Gibbs, Thomas Lavone and all the vendors, models and supporters that collaborated to make the night a huge success.

Enjoying the balmy NJ winter this year by staying connected to the great outdoors between business and advocacy focus and fun.

Penning this post from the magnificence of Montana.. skiing our legs off with dear friends after 5 yrs of hospital stays and uncertainties around medical madness.

Next week its back to the office for more fun, less fear and many more exciting projects to help others go wider, deeper in their passionate pursuits.

Lucky to have spent a sensationally sunny week in Puerto Vallarta sharing the gift of yoga with world travelers recently. YogiHub & I delighted in meeting and greeting up to 25 yogi travelers daily at 9am for a Sunrise Beach Yoga teach at oceans edge. Not surprisingly, many travelers were Canadian Yogi's visiting for destination weddings or work reprieves early in the New Year. This has got to be among the Top part time work getaway experiences on the planet and have been blessed to be doing this on and off for five years. Two great book recommendations received from traveling yogi pals include Buddha's Brain by Dr Rick Hanson, a neuroscientist that pens on happiness, love & wisdom and The Gifts of Perfection-Let Go Who You Think You're Supposed to Be & Embrace Who You Are by Brene Brown.. Great book reads for a yoga vacation in marvelous Mexico or anywhere! I'll be sure to bring all these lessons learned on this vacation back to the podium and workspace at home on leadership resiliency, relationship building and life/work balance. Ask me about the yogi traveler I met that's the Culture Director at her corporation on the West Coast. Her sole purpose is to make sure all her employees are having FUN everyday. Now that's a big OMM for home!
