• About Sandy

I’ve been spending lots of time with family. This is a picture of my amazing nephew, Anderson. He’s actually about 5 times this size now, but I just love this photo of him. All snuggled up with me. Soon he’ll be running around and won’t let me hold him anymore.

Last night my brother spent the night with his two little ones both under 2 years old. It’s so fun to watch my girls be the babysitters now. It seems like just a moment ago that they were the ones getting their diapers changed and wanting to be held in my arms 24 hours a day.

I took a good part of the day off to hang out with my brother. It was an unexpected trip, so I had planned to be writing all day. As soon as he left with his family, I went into overdrive trying to complete all the tasks I had to accomplish for the day. Many days, it feels like I will never get it all done.

I registered for this really cool tele-seminar/webinar Thursday night. It’s all about leveraging your time by building a virutal team to support you in your business. I asked the hostess- Melanie if I could offer you the same discount I received and she said ‘yes’. So if you’re interested in learning more about this topic like I am, see below for how to register. I’ll be there, learning right along beside you!

Have a great day!

Peace and Love,

Announcing: My Friend Debbie Ford's New Book!

Most of us were taught that if we just wrap ourselves in enough layers, create a convincing enough persona or hide behind an attractive enough mask, people won’t discover (or, more to the point, we won’t discover) that we are flawed, imperfect, and insecure. We wrap ourselves in the layers of our false self to conceal that we are talented, brilliant, and more fortunate than those around us. It’s downright exhausting to keep hiding and denying parts of ourselves. Eventually, like a beach ball held under water, they pop up and smack us in the face. This is the birth of self-sabotage.

Why Good People Do Bad Things, a bold new book written by bestselling author and coach, Debbie Ford, takes us behind the facade of the false self, guides us to heal the split between our ego and our soul and live the authentic life that is well within our reach.

4 S’s of Happinessss...

Do you ever feel like the universe is trying to send you a message? Have you ever had the experience of hearing the same or similar conversations with different people for days or weeks at a time? And every book, magazine and email you read seems to be talking about the very same topic? Well, that’s been happening to me lately and the topic is creating space and letting go.

Which is quite funny, because... I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO!!! I don’t have time to create space and let go!

You may have heard me say you write the book you need to read. Well, today I’m going to write the article I need to read.

I’m going to call this article:
The Four S’s of Happinessss: Simplify, Space, Settle In and Surrender.

1. Simplify: Get rid of the junk. What are you filling your life up with that is completely unnecessary? Look at your calendar from yesterday or last week or last month, write down all the things you did that are contributing to your life today or tomorrow. Now write down all the things that you worried about or fretted over or rushed to accomplish that really didn’t make much of a difference in the Big Picture of your life. When my to-do list begins to run past the 2nd page marker, I love to ask myself, “Is anybody going to die if I don’t get this done?” The great thing is, there is absolutely nothing on my list that’s going to cause death or destruction! How cool is that? Be willing to let go of anything that is not serving you.


2. Space: not space out,(although, I do plenty of that, too) as in Create Space for Magic to Happen. If my calendar is crazy-busy every minute of every day and I’m rushing from one thing to the next, there’s no time for the magic. You’ve got to leave some open time to just ‘be’, and when you’re hanging out, doing nothing, an amazing idea will strike, or a serendipitous phone call will come in. Try it. Literally, carve out 1 hour this week (you can divide it into 15 minute or ½ hour increments, if you like) and write on your calendar “Blank Space for Magic” in permanent marker (preferably in a fun color like red or purple!) Welcome the Magic into your life, expect the magic!


3. Settle In: In other words, BREATHE. Stop reading right now and close your eyes. Take a deep breath, feel the fresh air go into your nose, your lungs and deep into your belly. NOW... GO... WOW, wasn’t that great? When was the last time you took a really deep breath? It’s so simple, yet we hardly ever do it. Your breath is your ticket to peace and well being. No matter what is going on around you, breathe deeply and you will feel the peace.


4. Surrender: I’ve always resisted this one or at least found it very difficult to do in my own life. How do you really, truly, surrender? How do you know when you’ve truly, completely surrendered? For me, it’s when I have returned to ‘myself’. When I need to surrender, it’s because I’m not settled, not breathing, I’m running around ‘out of my body’. When I return to my Inner Wisdom, I feel peace again. And very often, ‘the answer’ or the magic appears.

Well, I feel better. I’m going to go back and read my own writing a few more times and see if I can apply it now.

Have a Faabulous Day!
Yours Truly,

"Sandy-licious"
