the LIVE LOVESPEAKS blog
At the root of love is life. In order to live, we have to love. Love is hard. Love is work and love can be messy. But, love is always worth it. When we live our life with love, love becomes comfortable, safe, and joyful. We laugh more and live more. We forgive more. To have a career we love, to fall in love, or to love ourselves, we have to be willing to do the hardest work of our lives. In the end, love is all that matters. Let love speak in your life and join me as we do the work together and enjoy living lovespeaks.
Speaking of Love Winning
I hope you all enjoyed a day of love yesterday, but I think we can all agree that love is for us to enjoy every day. Abraham Hicks says we are here to create our own fairy tale. When I started planning The Love Wins House Party I couldn’t help but think that my dear...
Speaking of Dreams
We all have dreams. Some of us go after them, and some of us stay a little too long being stuck in the wanting of the dream and not the doing of the dream. 2020 taught us that our dreams are still good, even if they are harder to get. During my worst nights of COVID,...
The Gift of Story
I was invited to share The Gift of Story at the 31 Days of Jingle & Joys hosted by the Winnetka Women's Exchange, and I wanted to share my message with you as we all prepare for Holiday 2020. This is a holiday none of us will forget. Yes, we are missing so much,...
Speaking of Holiday 2020
Holiday 2020 is a season we are all trying to wrap our heads and hearts around. We are missing out on traditions we have come to rely on. There is a universal sense of loss with families not being able to gather like we used to. So I called on some friends who I count...
Speaking of COVID & Health Inequities
As we head into the holiday season and ride the second wave of COVID, I would like you to meet my friend Dr. Renee Matthews. She is host of Ask Dr. Renee and has been seen in over 45,000 doctor’s offices in her Out of Office with Dr. Renee video spots. She sat down...
Speaking of Rebels
"Authenticity is the truest form of rebellion." This is one of Shelley Paxton’s, author of Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel’s Guide To Finding Your Best Life, many mantras. Most people think of rebels as people who rise in opposition. But this rebel – my friend Shelley...
Speaking of Gendered Racism
When I heard the term gendered racism, I wasn’t exactly sure what it was. So I invited my friend Jill Frank, Head of Creative Agency Operations at Allstate, to educate me and my lovespeaks series listeners. Jill recently spoke at The 3% Conference about the topic and...
Speaking of Home
HOME – it’s one of my favorite words. It has a hum to it like OM. It feels good on our lips, our hearts, our souls. What makes you feel like you’re home? For me it’s the smell of coffee brewing, my meditation practice, the ocean, a television studio, my cashmere...
Speaking of Solutions
Eighty-six. That's the number that stopped me at 13 minutes and 27 seconds into recording this podcast. It made me pause and ask, Did you say 86? Yes, she said 86. My friend and activist, Afrika Porter has lost 86 people to COVID-19. Staggering. Soul crushing....
