It Never Gets Easier
Me: It never gets easier. Caroline: Maybe it’s not supposed to. Me: Maybe it’s not. This was our third dog to pass in a little over a year. Our preceding generation is gone. Nixon, my older daughter’s 13-year-old pit mix, Maya, our almost 17-year-old poodle a few months ago, and now Esme. None of the dogs we have now knew the generation before them. It’s been a lot… Last week, I was at Suzanne Clothier's special week-long training for dog trainers. Esme, my barely 3-pound dog was with me. Nearing the end of her time here, I was blessed to be around kindred souls, dog people... people who get it. It wasn’t a surprise that Esme’s time was nearing the end. While she wasn’t old (just shy of 10), she was tiny and had big health challenges. Many close calls. I felt like the girl who cried wolf as [...]
One of My Favorite Humans Passed
Saturday, one of my favorite people died. He wasn’t a close friend, but he was special to me. Yesterday, the dog world mourned his passing. Kaz Hosaka was the epitome of the quote: “People will forget what you said, People will forget what you did, But people will never forget how you made them feel.” -Maya Angelou Kaz was a great dog handler. The bond between him and the dogs he showed was clear for the world to see. Kaz showed at Westminster (the Super Bowl of the dog world) for the first time in 1980. He showed some of my favorite dogs (2 to Best in Show at Westminster, too many major wins to count). I’ve gone to Westminster almost every year since I was 18 (I missed a few years when I had a job, the year of my accident, and this year). I always looked for [...]
Way Beyond What I Envisioned
I appreciate all the support I've gotten for my healing...and working in the breast cancer arena. I've got to say I'm blown away! This is needed, and it's resonating with so many of you. What's in the works is way beyond what I envisioned when I posted about my breast cancer journey and the group I was starting. People are asking if I'm changing direction away from working with high-achieving entrepreneurs and their businesses and marketing. Am I still going to do the advanced coach certification? I'm still working with entrepreneurs, their businesses – and every area of their lives. And, I'm still going to offer the program for coaches. But this is an arena I'm feeling compelled to make a difference in – especially for high-achieving women and their families. While there will be some breast cancer-specific info here, most of what I post here will be from [...]
Breast Cancer: A Journey of Empowerment
This was one of those blog posts that took a while to decide to write. Should I even share this on my site, talk about it publicly... there were many layers to the decision. I'm doing a group I never thought I'd offer: A group for women who want to make their breast cancer journey one of empowerment and unlocking potential. The number of women diagnosed with breast cancer is 1 in 7 (1 in 6 if you have a glass of wine with dinner a few nights a week). With those staggering numbers, it's time for a more potent approach, one that focuses on reducing the incidence, the recurrence, and the devastation of cancer. An approach that forges a true partnership with women and their doctors, and empowers women to embrace their power to heal and grow through the cancer experience. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. [...]

Another Powerful Woman – A Less Obvious Gift
Today, I want to share the story of another powerful women in my life. A post less fun, but at least as important, to share. Yesterday, I posted about my Aunt Luella – a trailblazer, a role model, who makes me smile and inspires me to this day. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane and it sparked fun conversations. It also triggered some more difficult ones...comments publicly and privately saying "I wish I had a role model like that." and people sharing their own stories with me. Now, I want to talk about, and thank, my mother. She did her best to hold me back, get me to follow her path as a stay-at-home mom, or maybe a teacher. She tried to stop me from taking risks, being a disruptor, challenging the status quo. She tried valiantly to stop me from making waves (ok, sometimes they [...]
