Growing Bolder Community

I have decided today to make a new blog…a new way to introduce you all to the some of the most amazing people I have met along my way. I started with Harry in “When Leigh met Harry”…and Harry was and is the driving force of me meeting up with people who have changed my life and perspective…and answered a few questions. For those who know me, you understand the importance of being...

Growing up in a very small town of about 800 people, your religion was part of your profile. Mine happened to be Catholic – and still is. However, a few years ago, I began to ask a lot of questions. Being a catechist since the age of sixteen, a liturgy committee member for five years, and so on; you would have thought that I knew what my ‘role’ was. Call it an early onset of a midlife...

Practice What You Preach You know, us coaches are not like the Walmart happy face all of the time. We have times of frustration too. We are human.However, that said, I practice what I preach.

I entered the US as a 'spouse of...

A little over two years ago, I suffered from depression. I gave up the career I thought I had always wanted to be full-time stay-at-home mom. I suddenly found myself no longer the same person. I was no longer contributing an income and our financial picture became ‘tight’ to say the least. This was a huge change for me – not just for the amount of income change, but also because I had...

I don't often get really angry, but just recently I was literally spitting nickels.I just received my copy of RTIR(Radio and Television Interview Report) this week. This publication is an advertiser's listing of all those who are 'up and coming'. The magazine is a major issue for publicity hunters looking for the 'Who's who" of the moment. RTIR is a fantastic resource and the people who put it all...

Today was a prime example.My son was planning a science experiment involving the intention effect on plant growth. He was already researching some quantum physics, and reading up on The Intention Experiment by Lynn McTaggart. He came home today from school today...

Facebook, Twitter, and Interviews This week has been an extremely exciting one! I have met so many awesome people from Facebook and Twitter - that in itself is amazing for someone who is fairly new to this 'social networking' stuff. Facebook for me has always been just for family and friends - and it still is - but I have met some people that I would not have had the opportunity to otherwise...

Facebook = Business Growth = Law of Attraction I have had so many comments about my last blog post on Facebook and my interviews, that I thought I would share some of my own ‘quantum leaps’ with regard to my business. I was sharing some of my stories last week at one my networking meetings, and I was surprised that so many small business owners do not use Facebook because they are ‘not...

The Art of Breathing "Prana is the breath of life of all beings in the universe." ~ B.K.S. IyengerEastern medicine has recognized the importance of correct breathing for centuries for physical, mental and spiritual development.
