Make the second half of your life the most Joyful Fulfilling Creative time of your life.
Do you wonder:
- What’s the Muse—or my Soul—whispering in my ear?
- How can I nurture the spark that comes from the authentic me?
- What would I LOVE to create/express/learn?
- What’s calling me?
- How can I face loss and find joy?
- What’s my story and how do I want to share it?
I get it! I’ve been there—searching and learning.
And I know this: your second half of life is the BEST time to go exploring!
It’s never too late to create an amazing life!
Let’s travel together!
Life’s too short to go it alone. Let’s work together—or use my blog, book, podcast, and talks to inspire your way forward.
Do you want to develop, write, or share your story? Do you want to develop a story for the world or revise the inner story that’s been running your life? Either way, story is a powerful tool for discovery and self-expression.
Do you have a sense of direction you’d like to clarify? Pick the path you want to travel. Then, let’s put in some trail markers (small steps), and practices that will keep you moving ahead.
We are ALL creative— and you can develop the unique way that the creative spirit wants to express in you. Recover the love you once had for a process—or pick something new. And rediscover the power of play!
I believe that we were all born with a genius for being us, an inner calling, a creative spark.
But sometimes we lose touch with it.
The good news? The spark is always there waiting for us to remember. And we can nurture it at any age!
Want proof? Read my story in my book Meeting the Muse After Midlife: A Journey to Meaning, Creativity, and Joy.
Today, I’m helping people tell their stories and translate what’s calling them in their gut (or from the Muse) into practical action.
I want you to have more joy—but I’ll never sugar coat reality. Life can be hard. We will face loss, grief, regrets.
I know that only too well.
So I’ll never tell you to “Get Over It.” Instead, I’ll help you go through whatever life is offering you, using the practices and expressive tools I’ve found to be so useful.
Isn’t it time? To step-beyond self-limiting beliefs that you can let go of? To fully claim more of your amazing life.
Let’s seize the moment.
Truly, this is your time to soar!

Finding Joy in Baby Gratitudes
As you might know, I’m a big proponent of small steps—even micro ones—that keep us moving toward what matters most. At this time of year, gratitudes don’t have to be grand. Sometimes noticing the smallest details that enhance our lives deepens our ability to observe and appreciate the world around
