Happy Thanksgiving!
My prayer for all is to give #gratitude and remember that no matter what we are loved and #special.
Recently, I wrote a post for Rene Syler’s popular GoodEnoughMother on how to embrace the holiday with no stress especially if you have a blended family with tons of personality.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving also celebrate your personal ‘brand’ and pick up The Brand New Mommy: From Babies To Branding To Bliss today on Amazon. The pocket guide is the perfect holiday gift for a special friend/mom/dad/grandmom seeking authentic tips on reinvention.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Mother’s Intuition Versus Woman’s Ego
Words by Akilah S. Richards, Life Design Practitioner (Guest Post)
Available now!
Life Design shows up in different ways for each of us, but for me it’s about two things: Curiosity and Tenacity, and my daughters have those particular muscles on a rigorous regimen. Not unlike most muscle-building endeavors, it calls for everything I’ve got.
Add to the equation my work as a full-time entrepreneur, and my involvement in my personal circles, and I’ve got a recipe for major imbalance. Sound familiar? Continue reading
