Sixteen years ago, during a long weekend in San Miguel de Allende, I stumbled into one of the most beautiful traditions I’d ever seen. The plaza was alive with color. There were vibrant marigolds, candles flickering in the twilight, photos of smiling faces long gone, favorite foods carefully arranged, and tiny keepsakes that once belonged to the people being remembered.

Maybe you’ve seen it in someone you care about — or felt it yourself. It’s the quiet moment when a person stops believing things can get better. The spark fades. Conversations shift from “This is hard” to “Why bother?”

I recently read a post by poet John Roedel (I really enjoy his work) that made me smile and sigh at the same time. He wrote about self-publishing — how he loves creating but struggles with the business side. Marketing, trends, bestseller lists? Not his thing. His books come straight from the heart, not from chasing what’s hot. And he’s made peace with that.

If you’ve ever taken a personality test like Myers-Briggs, DiSC, or StrengthsFinder, you know the drill. You answer a bunch of questions, get a four-letter code, a color, or a list of traits, and walk away thinking, “Okay, that sounds like me.”

But then the insight fades. You may remember your label or color, but it doesn’t change how you approach conversations, decisions, or leadership.

Today’s the day!  I’m excited to share that our new book, Be the Leader You Were Born to Be, is now available on Amazon in both e-book and paperback formats.

Leadership has always fascinated me—not because of titles or positions, but because of the impact it has on people. To me, leadership is about creating momentum, sparking vision, and influencing outcomes in a way that helps others step into their own spotlight.

Uncertainty is a constant in life.

Whether it’s a sudden shift at work, changes in a relationship, or larger global upheavals, we all face moments when the ground beneath us feels shaky. These times can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and disoriented.

If it’s been a while since you visited our website, you’re in for a surprise—in the best way.

We’ve just rolled out a big refresh as part of our rebrand to The Power of Your Perception, and honestly… we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.

The brain is a marvel of adaptability. Thanks to neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections — we now know that meaningful growth and change are possible well beyond childhood.

Habits can shift. Reactions can soften. New ways of thinking, feeling, and engaging with others can emerge — not overnight, but absolutely over time.

Because your beach listen can do more than just pass the time—it can change the way you see the world.

There’s something about summer that pulls us outside. The longer days, the warmer weather, the perfect excuse to step away from your screen and soak up something nourishing—sunshine, fresh air, and maybe…a fresh perspective?
