Follow My Adventures and Be Inspired!
When people ask me about what I do for a living, I could give them my business card with a bunch of titles and accolades. It is true that I have penned a couple books and I speak for international audiences; however, who I am is a teacher without walls. Whether through my books, presentations, and/or tours, the goal of all of my stories is to inspire others to overcome obstacles and to live a life full of adventure.
Overcoming Obstacles – Remember to Look Up
You will see throughout my stories a mantra, Look Up that I created in 2010. These two powerful words remind us all wherever we are and whatever we are experiencing, whether the good, bad, or ugly, that we have the power to:
1) Be in the moment
2) Find the upside
