Morgana - My “Oh My God! Get Me Off This Ride!” Total Meltdown

I’m sharing my meltdown in the spirit of Transparency…

Last month I bought a house.

MorganaHouseI didn’t even know I was in the market. But then I saw it, and that was that.

The house buying process was surprisingly fun and easy, and I even came in $50,000 under budget!

It was AFTER the purchase, when we had to actually MOVE into the new place, that I completely fell apart.

I’ve had two weeks of panic attacks, crying, grief, regret, trouble breathing, despair, and anxiety.

Because all change brings death–death of the old, of who you’ve been, of what you’ve known, of what has worked (and not worked) in the past.

Even good change.

And I had a lot to grieve. I LOVED the 1927 townhouse I was renting, and the neighborhood I was renting it in. I thought I’d live there for the next 40 years. I also dug that my husband and I had our own separate places–2 blocks apart. We were together every day, but we had a lot of space, too.

Ultimately marriage (12 weddings in 12 countries to the same guy, in the last 12 months) changed everything for me. (See video of our first 11 weddings.)

100 Weddings TrailerI started looking at the numbers–my rent was coming to about $100,000 ever 3 years, with no equity. Ouch! And my husband and I were both  looking at taking our relationship to the next level.

This was totally the right thing to do. And I’ve been a train wreck through the  whole process!

This will, of course, all work out.  When in doubt, I ask my “Money Honey.”

I get that this may come off as privileged white girl whining. It totally is.

I’m only sharing my meltdown because I’ve been a coach long enough to recognize that falling apart is a very common human response to massively upgrading your life. Not always, but often. Sort of like giving birth to a new baby. Or growing pains.

So if you’re on the verge of taking a giant leap in your life–or in the thick of it now–keep going. And talk to your Money Honey!

Namaste for now,

PS. The new house and the new city are pretty glorious.

SMART Goals 101: Goal Setting Examples, Templates, and Tips - Brian Tracy

I think you’ll agree with me when I say: We’ve all heard that SMART goals are important . But a lot of people are left with questions about them, for example: What exactly are they? How do we use them correctly? Are they really contributing to your success? Here’s the deal: When it comes to achieving success, one of the most important steps that you can take is setting good goals. It is also important to recognize, though, that not all goals are created equal. In this article, we’ll take a look at a special class of goals called SMART goals and how you can use them to heighten your chances of success. FREE SUCCESS TOOL: Brian Tracy’s 14-Step-Goal-Setting Guide What is a Goal? A goal can be any objective that you set for yourself and push yourself to achieve. Sometimes that goal may be small (like waking up an hour earlier than you normally do) and sometimes it may be larger (like earning a promotion). But here’s the kicker: While having goals of all kinds is almost

bosanchez - The Bias of Fathers

One day, I was at a Christmas party. And parents were forcing their small kids to sing, bribing them with lollipops to banana splits to doll houses to Boracay vacations. One father — a friend of mine whose name I won’t divulge as it would be hazardous to my health — brought his little five-year-old daughter to the front. Because he even had a Minus One prepared, we thought, “She must really be a good singer.” So everyone clapped their hands and cheered as the music started. Then the five-year-old began to sing. Or at least made some kind of sharp noise.  But she didn’t get one key right. The cute little girl was absolutely tone deaf. From beginning to end, she sounded so awful, the experience was similar to having an endoscopy without the anesthesia. But the father was right beside me, still taking photos, still smiling from ear to ear, his eyes glued to his little daughter. He looked at me and smiled, “She may not sound right, but can you see how lovely she sways her hips?” Th
