The only person stopping you from doing what you love to do, is you.
I don’t know about you but I spent a great deal of time in bars and night clubs in my younger years. Apparently a little too much time given the fact that I went to treatment this year;) lol
If you frequented bars like me, you’ll remember there was always that “one guy” with an ever so slightly too tight a shirt on, who was a bit too old to be hanging with all these young people. That guy was there for one reason and one reason only….to DANCE! He didn’t have a care in the world, didn’t give a shit that all the youngsters in the bar thought he was weird and assumed he was there for sinister reasons. He was always just drinking water, and tearing up the dance floor with his “white man over-bite”, white jeans, smiling from ear to ear.
Yeah, in 2022 I’m gonna be that guy!
I’m working on my list of things I want more of in my life next year. More time with people I really like hanging out with, seeing more comedy shows, hosting more live events instead of being on line only for business and DANCING are some things that top the list.
I’m gonna dance, a lot! I already practice new hip-hop moves at home because I’ve vowed to learn how to hip-hop, not like a middle-aged white woman;) I’m ready to start taking these moves on the road. I live downtown now so the iconic Iron Horse seems like a legit place to start.
You’ll find me there some Friday and Saturday nights. I’ll be the sober one, tearing up the dance floor, not worried about being a tad too old, and smiling from ear to ear.
Your happiness is not a gift given to you by others.
Create a mantra for your life. If you aren't writing your story, someone else is writing it for you.

Hello my friends!
I'm finishing up the transition away from Locals onto Substack and wanted to be sure each of you have made the necessary adjustments to your accounts. For those of you who have remaining months left on your paid support here, I have comped you the balance over at Substack.
This will be the final week I post content here.
I will resume the live recordings over there, starting with our first call on Friday, March 3rd at 9am/12pm. Invitations to join the Zoom calls will go out on Substack. Mark your calendars!
Also, be sure to download the Substack App! I love the app and find it so helpful in organizing content I want to read later by keeping it on my dashboard.
See you on the other side!

One of the biggest challenges in writing my book is not being able to share any of it along the way. Given my narcissistic need for constant approval and attention, not having any feedback is killing me. Even negative attention is better than no attention at all (which explains a lot of my behavior in life), so not only am I missing the praise but I also miss my haters.
I need to break out of this cave. Thanks to Chuck Palahniuk who writes Spoiler Alert on Substack, but you would know as the author of Fight Club, I got the idea to share some excerpts and things that won’t make the final edit. This will give us both what we need. I get some attention and you get some thought provoking words to make you think (and possibly laugh, cry or both.)
Today’s snippet is from the first draft of a chapter titled, Remove Your Kindergarten Name Tag. I am currently on my third revision and we can all be thankful for this. As I walk my readers through the dark hallways of my earliest years, and attempt ...
Wanted to pass this short video along. We think of health in very limited ways. Faith, nature, love, communality, shared human experience…all prove to be just as necessary, if not more so, than going to the gym.
I’ve always viewed and taught health from this perspective. It is my belief the lack of these essential elements is as big an issue in our culture as poor diet and lack of movement.
The takeaway-we can do better🙏🏼
