First of all – THANK YOU!!!!

I am so pleased you elected to subscribe to my newsletter!!!!  I’m not going to lie. I was a little scared when I started my blog. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would anyone read my blog? Would individuals find value in what I shared? Would there be value in the guests that presented? I believe you have found value.  It’s why you signed up. Something  someone said or did struck a chord that resonated with you. I look forward to your  continued involvement with my blog and I  couldn’t be happier to have you here! 

This blog was created because each of us is extraordinary! Remind yourself, through your involvement here, of the beauty in yourself as well as others.  Don’t settle for ordinary when you were born to be extraordinary!   The extraordinary begins inside of you and slowly makes its way to the “you” we see.You are smart, you are beautiful, and you can make anything you’d like of your life.  

There are a so many exciting things coming up to enlighten, reinforce and applaud you along your journey.

There are stories from people who have battled back from seemingly insurmountable health issues.

You’ll read about my friend Mal who battled his way back to health despite numerous health and personal issues.  He will tell you how he has reclaimed his life and offer you an opportunity to allow him to coach you to reclaim yours.  

You will hear about my brilliant friend Rane who suffered a traumatic brain injury requiring her to give up the successful life she created. She created Ranemaker Institute which was founded to help individuals, organizations and cities learn how to discuss and understand inclusive innovation.  

There will be articles from so many interesting, diverse, successful and talented people. You’ll hear from highly successful people sharing advice on how to succeed in business to corporate execs who have left their jobs to contribute to world causes. You’ll also hear from beauty bloggers, as well as your every day person (like me!). 

There will also be articles on decorating, books to read, beauty and anything else you can think of to help make sure you step into the extraordinary you were born to become.

i want to thank my friend Bob Smith for volunteering his editorial skills! I also want to thank my friend Karen Desko for noodling with me on my brand.  And a huge thank you to each of you who has forwarded a link to my blog to your friends!  I am  so grateful for each of you! 

Our lives are a series of “stars and scars” and having a community you can trust to share both with is critical. Welcome to your community!
