WARNING…this may not be pretty but once you take a hard

look at yourself through my mirror; you will have clarity

into why you are here, who you were born to be, how you

want to be remembered and what you want to achieve.

I created the Tailor Made Life that I proudly live today.

But that did not happen overnight. There were times not long ago I felttrapped. I was working so hard building someone else’s dreams. I wasspending more nights in a NYC hotel room than I was at home with mybeautiful family. I had 2 choices, continue on that path, unhappy, underpaidand barely dreaming until my kids were grown and it was time for me toretire OR step waaay out of my comfort zone and get real with myself.

The only person responsible for the life I was going to live was me. The onlyway for me to live the life I wanted…was to design it. So I got to work.

The juiciest stuff always happens backstage. So grab a glass of wine and getcomfy, 'cause I'm about to reveal what no one else has seen before...

In order to get ‘unstuck’ there must be balance in all areas of your life,career, family, fun, mindset and health. Finding that balance is the hardestpart. We think, if we focus on a career, our family life will suffer. If wechoose to stay at home, our pocketbook will quickly diminish. If we have asour mindset we will not appreciate success in any area of life. And if ourhealth is weak then how could we really enjoy career, family or fun?

Too many of us fail to see the greatness within ourselves. I’ve come torealize that we all can inspire others. There are certain people in my lifewho inspired me to step up and take my kind of ordinary and use it tocontribute to the world around me. Giving back leaves a long lastinglegacy and you will be amazed at the way inspiring others makes you feelwhole.

Here's how I do it...

Two

2. COMMIT & BE YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF. Youhave to truly, from your heels to your heart

have compassion and love for others.Follow through with the things your promise

and be true to your personal brand.

1. BE THE EXAMPLE. People watch what you domore than what you say. Be it. Do it. Live it.Whatever “it" is, make it part of your corevalues and live into it.

We have 2 choices in life, we can see the glass as half empty or half full.There were times in my past that the glass was always half empty, nomatter what it was filled with. But through personal growth anddevelopment, I found that if I search for the optimistic view point in everysituation, I will attract more positive experiences.

Sure, there are still times even today when I get frustrated with life---ithappens but I have a good internal and external support system to remindme that life is overall good and valuable

Three

1. Remove all negative energy from your circle of influence. Yes, thismeans you must bless and release some of your friends if they choose tolive in negativity and pessimism.

2. Replace the negative thoughts with positive ones. Look for the brightside in every situation…there always is one. There is no sense in worryingabout what you have no control over.

3. Smile. Your smile could be the only reason someone else smiles today.

“You cannot hang out with negative people and expectto live a positive life.”

Every woman, regardless of her size has, at one point, struggled with herappearance.

The truth is, I struggled at times to zip up my "skinny" jeans and I faked it fora long time. Once I became a mom, I assumed I was supposed to step intothat mom-bod and just deal with it.

I realized that in order for me to be able to give to my family, I was going tomake sure that my ‘well’ was full at all times. That started with shedding afew extra pounds and inches, kicking the coffee habit and gainingconfidence in my own skin.

"Something inside of me said, that is not true. You can be fit,healthy and happy in your own skin."

I was a tired mom of 3 little girls, all under 3 when I was introduced to thenutritional program that I still follow to this day. It was all about nutritionallyrebalancing my body, ridding myself of the impurities that were weighingme down and optimizing the food I put in my body. At age 35, I’ve neverfelt more fit, healthy or happy. I have to say that I am not sure I would bewhere I am today, had this new way of honoring my body not beenintroduced into my life.

Find and subscribe to a nutritional program and regimen that works for you.

Make sure the food you are putting in your body is the best fuel for your lifestyle.

Don’t put in cheap food and expect pristine results.

Everything in moderation, love. I enjoy a good glass of wine with a beautiful meal and

ice cream at the local farm with my children but in moderation. Indulge in the things

you love and learn to appreciate them.

Move your body with others. Find a class at the gym that motivates you, a

local running group or grab an accountability partner and get sweaty, girl!

As an entrepreneur with a full-time business, 3 daughters, a husband and ahousehold to manage-- life is full. It takes a village to run a family and ittakes an entire entourage to support the modern day fempreneur!

I was good hyper focusing on one area of my life; be it career, family or healthand everything else would fall to the wayside. That created such an instabilityin my life. So now, I have balance in every aspect of my life. Sure, there aretimes when I am more focused on a big business project but what isimportant to me now is having my family a part of that goal.

My husband is involved and supportive from the home and my daughtersknow when big things are happening in my career. I make them aware so thatthey know when mommy is working she is focusing on a specific goal. Ialways let them know that once we achieve that goal, there will be a rewardfor them at the end as well.

{ I wasn’t always balanced. }

1. Honor wellness inhealth, mind and body

2. Sweat every day

3. Out source tasks thattake up too much of yourtime, pulling you wayfrom being productive.One of the first things Idid was hirehousecleaners. I gainedhours of my time back!

4. FINDACCOUNTABILITYPARTNERS

5. Create your vision.

Develop the goals to get

you closer to that vision.

Get into daily action.

6. UNPLUG& Recharge!

7. Have fun!If what you aredoing is not fun,find somethingthat is.

What are the small goals that will get you to live out that vision?
