Ok, you’re stuck and trying to figure out your next steps for getting your shit together. Over and over again you make a run at it and before you know it, you’re still stuck. But it’s not really you that’s stuck, it’s your dream that is stuck because it’s not your dream but someone else’s…
Where does never following conventions or bowing down to peer pressure lead you? To start a London-based theatre company despite never having previously studied theatre or staged a show, of course. Or maybe it leads you to get lost in Marrakech as a teenager or becoming completely exposed in a Japanese Onsen. All of these…
OMG. This is my worst nightmare, and probably yours too, but you may not be admitting it yet. We are a society addicted to making excuses. Yes addicted. Shocking as that may seem, we make excuses, like we change our underwear. And then we wonder why we can’t make headway, be successful, or get our…
The truth is, once you make a bold move, you’ve got the blueprint, and you can keep those bold moves coming. Doesn’t mean it’s a piece of cake, or that you can dance and sing your way through life, unless that’s what your bold moves are all about. But, that singing, songwriting, dancing and acting…
You’re struggling to get on track. It’s a part of getting your shit together, but one thing that just keeps creeping up is the constant CONFUSION. Should you do this, or do that?

Go to college. Get a degree. Get a job. Get married. Yada, yada, yada. That’s what we’re supposed to do. Or at least that’s what most people are told they are supposed to do to be successful. Oh and let’s not forget to keep the steady paying job, even if it’s killing you…or at least…
Here’s the thing. None of us really has our shit together. We all have shit, shit, shit in our lives. So don’t let anyone tell you they’ve totally got it together. But when you don’t feel like you do have your shit together, sometimes it’s validating to realize, “I’m not alone!” Here’s a few insights…
It’s a story that’s been told. Yet so many still believe there’s no reason to tell this story again. That’s complete bullshit. These stories need to be told, so that everyone can hear them and realize, that there are still many marriages where opposites do not attract but people are trying to play the game,…
This one is for the guys…but you ladies can listen to, as I’m calling forth the men of the world to make a bold move and step out of their bullshit masculinity and be a little vulnerable. To be real. To be men without macho crap weighing them down. It’s time for men to start…
Nothing new about being a single, divorced Dad…unless you’re gay. Then all sorts of tricky things happen, that the average person doesn’t think about. Like, He’s gay and has a child?

It’s Pride Month. Or at least that’s what those of us in the LGBTQI community call it. Not sure what Drumph and his cronies in Washington are going to say this year, since they didn’t’ really say anything last year. But screw them! We are here, were queer, and we have advocates all over the…
Have you ever asked yourself – Who am I? Why am I here? What am I truly capable of? What do I really want? If so, you are not alone. In fact, most of us ask those questions, but what do we do once we’ve asked them? Do we take action? Bust a bold move? Wait patiently for the…
The reside everywhere. In our heads, in our relationships, at work, our friendships. No matter where you turn there is a cynic ready to tear apart your joy, your ideas, your happiness. No biggie.

Imagine leaving your job of 11 years, getting rid of your apartment, and packing up and heading off to Thailand with no real plans other than to reset. It’s a bold move with a capital “B.” One that others may not understand, but that’s ok…yes, seriously, that’s OK. It’s literally more about taking a jump…
