Whew! I am very blessed to be heading into my “staycation” at my favorite place on earth—my back yard—with my favorite people on earth: my family, friends and pets. It has been one epic year so far; full of 90%s. I have had a wonderful season of speaking, and I released my second book! Thank you to all of my clients, audience members and to my admin assistant, Sandra, for your endless support.

I have spoken from coast to coast and looked after life at home for the last seven months. I have had some 10%s happen with only small bits of time to process them. I have worked around, under, and over the challenges but I have not had time to work through them. I will take some of my vacation time to journal, pray, meditate, heal and rest. The best way for me to do that is to totally unplug. To wake up, head out into the yard with a journal, a good book and a plan to be well. I will also take time to party, celebrate and laugh.

Goodbye email and social media... for a little while, anyway. Once on a winter get-away, my cell phone was stolen from my beach bag on the second day of our two-week holiday. After the shock wore off, it was awesome. It taught me how often I would reach for my phone and rely on technology for entertainment. After that totally unplugged experience, I vowed I would unplug on all vacations.

My wish for you this summer is to spend your vacation unplugged and fully present where you are. Do what you need to do so you finish your vacation saying, “That was an awesome vacation, I did exactly what I wanted, and needed, to do.""

Have an amazing summer!

Live fully,
