We had a great call Tuesday night–”Boost Your Confidence: 5 Simple Ways to Shine.” I gave a tele-class presentation on the inner dynamics of self-confidence and shared powerful processes to boost confidence. These are processes that I have used with clients for years to help them successfully be more confident. I also reviewed the dynamics of self-doubt and self-sabotage and gave tools to release these blocks. Don’t worry if you missed the call—I recorded it and you can order it here—I have included an article and a Self-Care Checklist with the recording as well.
Enjoy your upcoming Holiday weekend!

In keeping with my latest article in the newsletter “How To Have Your Best Summer Ever” (see the previous post)–I decided to get a head start on my summer fun and take my first road trip of the Spring/Summer!
This past Saturday my friend Kathleen and I—and the boys (our two dogs Niyo and Cloud:)–took a day trip up to Peninsula State Park–a state park on Lake Michigan (In Door County). We went to see the forget-me-knots at the park–and to walk in the woods by the water. The weather was perfect. Here are some photos of our day.

We stepped off the walking trail to get closer to the water–isn’t it beautiful!

Niyo (my dog) was scared of the waves–he would lay in the water like above and then when a wave would come he would jump up as if to say “What the heck was that!!”

Look at that sky!

The sky would change so quickly this is just minutes after the previous photo.

I love the clouds in this picture.

Here is Kathleen and Niyo in the car after our hike.

Niyo inside the car saying “Mom, whatcha doing?”

Kathleen suggested we go to the Chef’s Hat in Ephraim, WI– which is owned by our friend Mary Joyce’s son, Todd. He is a wonderful chef!

Here is Kathleen with her Salmon Sandwich—it looked great–that is what I am getting next time we go:)

And yes, to top it off we couldn’t miss going to Wilson’s Ice Cream Shop–I had my favorite Mackinaw Island Fudge ice cream cone.
What road trips to you have planned for your summer? Or what are your favorite road trips you have taken in the past? I would love to hear from you!
