Welcome

I believe excellence is more about how we live our lives than if we get 10 out of 10 on a test. So with this Blog I hope to inspire people to find the excellence in their lives. I'll be sharing ideas, articles and other bits that I come across in my day to day work and life - things that make me feel good, or inspire me. I hope you'll like them and that you'll pass them on.

Rankin & Brown Telejam

I had the opportunity to listen to this Telejam yesterday, and I can say quite enthusiastically - It rocked!  Dr. Lissa Rankin & Brene Brown are cool (even if they say they're not), interesting, funny and wise women. 

This is all about optimal health, wellness & happiness - and as you know, I'm pretty passionate about those topics.  It felt like I was listening in on a fascinating conversation between two friends.  The tone is warm, friendly & supportive.  There are stories, personal insights and candid suggestions.  The info is really interesting and easy to relate to.  If you have an hour (and trust me, it FLIES by) please take a listen. 


They talk about the importance of vulnerability, joy and finding ways to get out of the chronic fight/flight cycle.  When we are calm - in a relaxed state - our body's natural healing abilities are activated.  When we are in fear/shame/anger, etc that same ability is shut down.  It's our natural survival mode.  When we think we're being threatened, the priority is fight/flight.  So, you can imagine how important it is to find ways to relax, feel safe and calm.

 It's definitely time worth spending - on yourself!
