Chasing a big dream shouldn't feel exhausting or pointless. If it has, it's worth asking which horizon layer is missing in your efforts. This 3 minute assessment might help. Link in bio.

I hear this a lot, and I believe it.

If your plan has no middle (a big dream on one end; a to-do list on the other) it can't be sustained. Luckily, that's a structural problem, and structure can be fixed.

Link in bio if you want to demystify your missing middle.

I created this because my CM career gave me a unique lens most people never get access to. I met countless women who are eager to tap into this kind of knowledge, with no way to get it.

If you work hard, want more, and can't quite figure out what's not clicking; I'm excited to share this with you.

I know too many women working too hard to move no closer to what actually matters to them.
These four questions are where I start.
Noodle on this, it's worth spending some time on.

The space between where you are and where you want to be feels overwhelming when you're only looking down at each step, or trying to see the summit beyond the clouds.
Most people don't need more motivation, but a method they can actually use.
That's what I work on. Link in bio if you want to start.

Watching #BurnoutParadise reminds me why focusing on all areas equally is great for theater, but bad for accomplishing the big goal. Sometimes you just need an extended rave!  
Four horizons might help this crew!

Bird-inspired art from the Highline reminds us:
-  cross over, check out the view from the other side
- take a moment to zoom in, fully appreciating everyday sights for the wonders they are
- if the universe grants you a shockingly beautiful fall day, drop everything and run outside!

Dedicate and protect the time to do the things you love. For me, that's cheering on floating witches, evading a headless horseman, leaf peeping in ancient cemeteries -  typical Westchester pastimes during spooky season!

Much like my sweet, convalescing Gunner, I too often resent a day of rest and much needed rejuvenation. Tonight, in solidarity, I am foregoing my more active aspirations, and cuddling with my little cone head. Let's give ourselves the time for proactive rest and healing.

Hitting goals!
Slow and steady, literally step by step!

Keep climbing. Keep striving, knowing you can always count with me. For Nor(way) - that's what goals are for! (maybe the shortness of breath is now messing with my head, ha!)

All the ads are back in Grand Central... already missing the Dear, New York exhibit!

It was incredible to see something that actually inspired pause, reading, pondering someone's story and eagerly anticipate the next vignette. 

I appreciated the unexpected magic while it lasted!

This is Halloween!

Historic Hudson Valley has such fun events, featuring both the beautiful landscapes and structures of the region, and informative and whimsical takes on the history and culture.

Treat yourself if you get the chance, and keep your head on a swivel for the horseman!

There is no place like Sleepy Hollow for spooky season! Haunted happenings are one of my top 3 favorite ways I reward myself for all my efforts toward my change goals.

Happy hike-on-hump-day!

Can you sneak away to the woods today to breathe in that dense and leafy, autumn air? Is there any better gift you can give yourself today? Time in the woods is like a vitamin for the psyche, the perfect prescription for clarity and recalibration.

Sometimes it feels like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Your path is there, seek out the exit ramp from the same cycles and behaviors that make you feel stuck! Change is possible and it's exhilarating :)

My game changer, responsible for the 5% bodyweight down so far? Meal planning!

Protein pasta+veg crumble+kale&spinach+tomatoes+spices=Yum!

Throwback Thursday! Is the chill of fall is settling in? Want 1 more drop of summer? Enjoy this sunset view from Tahiti back in March. 

Everyday cannot be vacation, but taking time for yourself gives you deep pools to draw from when you need a reminder of brighter days ahead.

There is no amount of man made splendor that begins to compare to the beauty of the natural world around us. Go take a walk in the prettiest spot in your neighborhood and thank me later ;)

Celebrate the efforts, the successes and don't lose sight of the simple joys that are the reason we work so hard on ourselves and our change goals.

It's like summer in October! Rather than question it, I will soak up the sun with a smile on my face. Great views and great company make for a *perfect* Sunday.

Hope you're enjoying every drop of the weekend! Sometimes putting in the work is TOO easy ;)

So fun seeing Jimmy Kimmel in his last night in Brooklyn yesterday! Yep, I had to take time off from work, and stand in line, and it is SO important to make time for special, once-in-a-lifetime memories. 

What fun memories will you be prioritizing this weekend?
