Blog postPurpose Peeps,
We often hear phrases and buzz words that sound amazing and yet we may have limited knowledge of what it really means to experience or embody what sparked us in the words or between the words.

Blog postWelcome to Fall 2020! We made it! Normally when I think of the fall season, I think of falling backward as time falls back during the fall solstice. This year, instead, what resonated was a sense of falling forward.
The fall forward is a trip, no pun intended. Our plans and action steps to move forward at a time when so much of our life seems to shift on a continual basis feels more like a fall going in a forward stance. Truthfully, it feels as though life may have n -

During these unique times, you may be experiencing some emerging truths. These truths bubble up on the inside and shake up our lives. You may be thinking, do I really need any more disruption during a global pandemic and unprecedented social justice uprising, and whatever else is on our watch?

Blog post2020 continues to be a year of vision in which the world is seeing injustices with new eyes and developing a passionate voice and stand for systemic change, especially in the area of race relations.

Blog postWhen the unthinkable happens, we are built to respond in fight, flight, or freeze. Our bodies are wired to slow down, conserve energy, and limit our view to what is right in front of us. Remarkably, when tragedy happens, there are some Purpose Peeps who shift to evolve tragedy into some of the most purposeful… Continue reading EP 18: When Tragedy Births Purpose, The #Sparked Life Podcast

Purpose Peeps enjoy living lives of intention and meaning, but what happens during a large amount of change when we are connecting the dots of our life to survive a major life event? Let’s have a real talk moment and unpack a lens or perspective into what is going on intimately within us.

Blog postPurpose Peep,
Have you heard statements that pit surviving against thriving? Some sound like, “go from surviving to thriving.” I went so far in one of my tag lines to say, “end survival as a lifestyle to thrive in your life of purpose.” During my exploration of yes/and strategies, I heard the divide and could see another possibility.
Surviving and thriving are not at war with one another or at opposite ends of a spectrum. We are wired to kick into survi -
Blog postBeing a light in the storm of major, transformational change is rooted in who we are as Purpose Peeps. Allow the storm to reveal our inner gifts and new ways to cooperate in times of complex considerations. Be a demonstration of possibility for those who will read the stories of our responses for years to come. For many who seek legacy, this is it. We are cocreating it now.
When reflecting on what is in my hands, my inner and physical resources that hold the mo -

Blog postPurpose Peeps, Many of us are experiencing an uninvited guest in our sparked life–it’s an elephant in the room! The more we try to ignore it, bypass it, positive think it, optimism it, or try to jump on its back and drive it out; it looks at us and enters another room in our lives.… Continue reading EP 16: The #Sparked Life Podcast – The Elephant In The Room Of Your Sparked Life

Blog postHey Purpose Peeps!
How are you doing? This podcast is number 2 of the “late posts.”The beginning of the year was a doozy, or so I thought before the Coronavirus Pandemic! And yet, we know while living the sparked life that late is a relative term in the realm of Divine timing.
Episode 15 was recorded in late-February when several aspects of life that were stable were shaken. It’s like being in the middle of an earthquake and holding a potted plant
