Oh soo fun!
I had a photo shoot this week for my own branding and marketing, and I sure never thought I would have soo much fun!
I was prepared to do my usual type of shoot... sit on a stool in a studio, hope I find something I like enough to look at over and over again for the next year or so. Ho hum.
Not so this time! I was shooting outside, and had nothing planned at all. I mean, no outfit, no exact location... just going with it. A little out of my comfort zone, I must say.

 We even ended the day with some cool sexy 60's style makeup, and a big hat... I had such a great time stepping into that sultry character. I wish all my girlfriends could do this, just to feed their feminine soul. Guys, I'm sure you'll do well in just appreciating how the girls will look.
Of course, I suppose if a man wants to put on the big false eyelashes, then go for it.
I love those things!
A bit of advice though... don't sleep in them. When I awoke I looked like I had bugs on my eyelids. Far from sexy then!

Have a great week!

Well, times change, and our understanding of how we can best succeed evolves constantly. Currently, one of the most important shifts is a newfound understanding and appreciation of the word "quit."
 No longer are these four letters taboo in the realm of success, particularly when it comes to building your platform as an expert, host, speaker, teacher or coach... now, quitting is absolutely necessary.
All of us, in one way or another talk to ourselves; our inner voice speaks in the background of every situation and conversation. Our inner voice can be very fond of critiquing, sometimes harshly, each of our decisions. That's when I call that voice the "Negator."
What is necessary is to quit listening to it! We all have a Negator. His job, at one point might have been...
