Creating Your Dream Life

We often hear the phrase "Life is short," but how often do we truly internalize its meaning? Life, with all its uncertainties, is a fleeting gift. Recognizing this brevity can be the catalyst for profound change, urging us to seize each day and live it to the fullest. I remember a time when I was working a job that left me feeling empty. I kept telling myself, "I'll pursue my passions later, when I have more time/money/security." I kept telling myself, “It’s just a job, I’m g

We had ourselves a mystery on our trip. We were at a Yukon Territory Provincial Campground (like a state campground in the U.S.) Lots of people, BEAUTIFUL campground (see the pic)! We actually ran into a couple who happen to be on the same trek we are and stayed in the same campgrounds together a couple of nights before We stayed 1 night and woke up in the morning to our Starlink/internet not working. Weird. Can’t say enough about how amazing Starlink is- for another blog.

Every epic story begins with a hero. Not a perfect hero, not a flawless hero, but one who dares to step into the unknown with a whisper of courage and a heart full of vision. What if I told you that the greatest adventure isn’t on the silver screen or in the pages of a novel—it’s Your Big Life? Welcome to Your Hero’s Journey. Step 1: Setting the Quest (Your Vision) Every hero begins with a call to adventure. Maybe it’s a nagging feeling that you’re meant for more. Maybe it’s

Many of you know that my husband Bruce & I will be doing a ‘bucket list’/major dream adventure starting Apr 10… We’re driving our RV round trip from Colorado to Alaska and taking 4 months to do it!! I’ll still be coaching (we have Starlink and it works great!); we have been doing prep on the RV, working out a house sitting arrangement, putting all of our bills online, watching alot of Youtube Alaska RV Videos, and various other tasks for the past 4 mos. People have been askin

Ever found yourself staring longingly at a luxury car, the sleek curves whispering sweet nothings to your soul, only to have a little voice in your head say, "But… freedom matters more to me than car payments?" Welcome to the eternal clash between Values and Wants. Values are like the foundation of your dream home—solid, essential, and non-negotiable. They define who you are and how you navigate the world. Wants? They’re the fancy throw pillows and mood lighting. Nice to have

I was in Starbucks the other day and it dawned on me… there was alot of noise. I mean - ALOT of noise. The noise wasn’t necessarily ‘all bad’! There were great, intense conversations going on, a bunch of kids animated talking to each other, someone listening to music (not on their earbuds so we all got to listen), the regular music playing in the background, people shouting out orders, and you get the picture. I started thinking, I listen to alot of noise during the day as we

Setting goals is an essential step in creating a fulfilling life, but achieving them requires more than just wishful thinking. The bridge between dreaming and doing is action—and it's where many of us get stuck. Taking action is critical so let’s discuss how to overcome common barriers to achieving your goals. Why Action Matters Think of your goals as a destination. Dreaming about them is like buying a map, but without action, you’ll never leave your driveway. Action is what

Happy Holidays! In our fast-paced world, (it’s getting faster, isn’t it, especially around the holidays!) we're often caught up in a cycle of constant doing, leaving little space to contemplate the deeper aspects of life. However, I encourage you to take some time over the Holidays to reflect on your purpose, presence, and the pursuit of peace. It can transform the way we experience the world around us. Let’s see how embracing them can lead to a more fulfilling, connected lif

Have you ever felt like you're running on a treadmill in life, exerting a ton of effort but not really going anywhere? Maybe you've set intentions, followed the Law of Attraction, or read countless self-help books, but still, you’re left wondering, “ Why isn’t this working? Why am I not getting what I want?” The answer is simple yet profound: you can’t get what you want if you’re not clear on what that actually is. In my work with Huna, NLP, and integrative psychology, I’ve s

It’s that time of year again! Time to set our goals for 2025. Not sure about you, sometimes I go into this time of year full-force, like a Star Trek ship hitting warp speed about to explore strange, new worlds (that’s for all my nerdy friends out there). Other times, I come into this time and would like to do ANYTHING than set new goals for the coming year. Seriously, anything - including waiting in line at the DMV. Why is that? Why is it sometimes I’ve set my next yrs goals

It’s that time year where I start frantically making plans for the holidays. I’m the planner in the family and the minute I feel it in the air I need to start. I know, I know. Holidays! Really?! And, Costco has their Halloween AND Christmas decorations out. It's confusing and it triggered my familiar holiday planning craziness. Reviewing my options I started checking out flights for a possible holiday visit to: my brothers, or mother-in-law, or possibly them to my house. And

For those who have been following our journey this last year or so, you know the the Evans are moving back to Colorado. Our house is slated to close in the next week, we’ll be packing up the U-Haul and moving back to our ‘home’ state and a place that also holds family and memories. And yet… how do you say Goodbye to a life and memories of the past 30 years? As I write this, my eyes are full of tears and my heart has those dual emotions of sadness and excitement. So many eve
