It's finally here! After what seemed like forever, my TEDx from Loyola University--The Power of Giving IT Up--is finally available. As you'll note, the production quality is not the best visually, but the audio is good. Have a listen and learn how to Surrender, Dorothy!!!
I should have known it wouldn’t last, and it serves me right. After thirty-some years, it happened. I fell for a younger, newer model, casting aside the loyal, tried and true like a pile of used junk. The old relationship just wasn’t working for me anymore and instead of more of the same, I wanted out. I admit now that it was superficial; I was taken in by looks, deceived by empty promises, [...]
Amazing. Incredible. Unbelievable. Awesome. We use these words constantly, and most of the time, whatever we're describing is most definitely not.

I've been writing, and re-writing my speech, working with people and programs to clarify my ideas, researching open TEDx platforms to see if my talk is a fit, applying, getting passed over, refining, trying again, praying, giving up hope, giving [...]
I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but on March 6, 2018, I, along with my four amazing friends, Robyn Graham, Kathy Marcino, and Kristin Smedley, am launching a podcast!!!! Whaaaaatttt???!!! Yep. After being in a mastermind with these three incredible women for a little over a year (thank you, Dr. Jennifer Gardella, although I'm not sure you know what you started!), we found that we had learned so much from one another, [...]
