Our Story Can Make A Difference

"I am not the boss."

I am fortunate to carry this lesson into 2024. 

And while that is true, there are many things I can do in service to others:

👑 I can set examples through willingness, honesty, and passion.

👑 I can be a good listener and be supportive through action and example.

👑 I can be a fierce warrior and impact lives (with consent!) with compassion and with PASSION!

Thank you for a tremendous year.  I love doing life with you. I look forward to growing my compassion and consideration, and service work, so I may forever heal because I do not know what I do not know. 

My goal for 2024: I want to know more magic.

With SO much Cueen Gratitude and Attitude, 

Happiest New Year!

Carolyn

Wishing every CUEEN a sweet and magical Thanksgiving filled with traditions old and NEW!

Indulge yourself in peace and love, gratitude and positive attitude, pumpkin pie with whip cream on top👑

Live, love, Cueen. 

Now is a beautiful time to participate in celebrations.  It is important to come together for the best interest of this world.  To embrace each other's successes, birthdays, personal and professional achievements.  That is the most healing way I know to extend my prayers and conscious awareness to those suffering tremendous trauma in Israel. 

I encourage we talk about it in groups.  Ask for donations, rather than birthday and anniversary gifts.  We need to talk through our fears.  And FAITH, the opposite of fear, will get us through “it”- whatever OUR Personal “it” may be.

Use your voice and share your feelings even if it’s with just 1 person.  I’m here to be that person should you need me xo 248-227-8060.

1. I’m still growing up, which complicates parenting. And other situations.
2. Staying close is thinking about the people you care about regularly.
3. Honesty is a willingness and choice.
4. I’m proud of myself, and I can love myself more.
5. You can sit in the front seat and control the music.
6. You can sit in the back seat and listen to the music.
7. VisionBoarding is kinda like a ransom note - the thought started out as a family joke, but my how true and freeing it really is!
8.  Experiencing each experience is a gift.
9.  I’m leaving “it” behind and never forgetting the lessons.
10. I'm SO grateful and passionate and excited to turn 60, 9/13.

Thank you higher power for the opportunity to live this incredible adventure since 1963.

Resharing words of wisdom since 1892 ish, no matter your circumstance, my personal experience indicates this works.  APPLY DAILY.

*Please gift me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference*

Cueen like Crazy and With Gratitude,
Carolyn xo

I feel exceptionally connected to my higher power. Believing in something greater than myself opens my mind and my heart and allows me to be in good health. It gives me the confidence to LEAD in my career, as a mom, a wife, a friend, a daughter, and a mentor.
 

I’m forever grateful to securely know that courage is my core value, and my core passion is to encourage safety and security for others and to promote the sharing of our stories and personal growth.  With eyes WIDE OPEN, let’s create extraordinary memories to learn from and pass on, and to LEAD ourselves to a higher potential.
 

Today, think about accepting, trusting and LIVING FULLY. I am here for anyone who needs me.  I love you and I am grateful for YOU.

Sharing my personal life out loud continues to promote the importance of
WELCOMING change, to let life even FALL APART a bit so we can put it back together, BETTER. I am forever encouraged to BELIEVE in our fierce, human inner drive and trust in a higher power.

Cueen with gratitude and choice, pay attention to opportunity and possibility. And always with a healthy dose of grit on top!

Don’t Stop Me Now!

Music & Lyrics by Freddie Mercury, an inspiration and constant reminder to keep going!

My current life experiences point me in the direction of self-love and forgiveness. 

When you take responsibility, you are knighted a MAGICAL power. Don’t wait to implement what you already know you want and DESERVE. It’s a “Cueen-like” quality you will forever be grateful for. It’s the CUEENxperience of ultimate, empowering truth.  

Dive, Flow, Embrace the waves in your innermost core and pay attention NOW to what your gut is asking for and teaching you about CORONATION. Choices matter and can constantly be tweaked as we continue marching forward.  

#DontWait #Cueen #today#CUEENship#CROWNing

EVERYTHING happens for a very good reason. In these moments, when you live, learn, and grow, that is when you earn your crown.

 
I am grateful.  I am lucky.  I am a Cueen.

You’re a Cueen too!   Practice responsibly 👑.

A couple of mornings ago, I had a relapse. I was fully aware of what was going on and made the choice to participate. I was very open with my husband, so I could talk it through for clarity. I’m doing well.  

My point for sharing is that we may fall, and it’s ok if we learn. Always share the truth and move on smarter and wiser. 

Training is a lifetime sport of Listening, Learning, Executing, and  Receiving.  

Our playbooks are forever being adjusted  - strategically and non-intentionally, for the wins and lessons intended.  I want to say thank you to my coach and cheerleader: Mark Koblin. I am blessed with an incredible, powerful team of female leaders I call my teammates - I’m grateful. There are many plays and vulnerable discussions we share; there are differences of opinion we hash out, all to serve our TEAM goal:  To SCORE and be a part of the winning team season after season.

Wishing my CUEENDOM tons of “She shoots, she scores” moments. Win or lose, remember: the real opportunity is to TRAIN.

January 2023

My 2023 launch is slower and more intentional than ever. 

I’m keeping my eye on the VERY BIG picture and treating every day as NEW.  I believe in the fresh new DAY far more than a NEW year. I’m committed to fulfilling and sharing my strategic focus points below so we can all continue to #CUEEN:

👑 I want MORE than
👑 I have choices
👑 I can change my mind
👑 I AM valuable
👑 I AM sensitive
👑 I will journal/complete a vision boarding exercise, every morning, which sets me up to create positive impact
👑 I run every morning.
👑 I meditate everyday for 25 minutes
👑 I will smile when speaking
👑 I will share genuine compliments
👑 I will work on trust issues
👑 I will mentor
👑 I will volunteer
👑 I seek patience
👑 I am protected spiritually
👑 I practice accountability and transparency, honesty and integrity
👑 No apologies for my forever evolving self
👑 Therapy is a gift
👑 I’ll always take care of my LITTLE GIRL inside - she will never leave me

And this plan is APPROVED by ME (and always evolving).

Incorporate these into your plan to create your own.  How can I help?  

Always Launching #CUEEN

December 2022

In my son’s smile and in my gut, I see and feel the incredible work of this past year.  The reflection is a glimpse of 2023. 

As 2022 concludes, I’m very intentional to thank everyone for being a #CUEEN and sharing in the power of choice. I’m grateful to have exceeded my goals as the Queen of TRinkets and TRash with GACo Sourcing.  I donated the profits of my Whimsical pop- up book to a new start-up with the goal of continued entrepreneurial growth.  The opportunity to introduce Vision Boarding as a daily practice is my greatest give back this year - the gift of magic and magnetism.
 

All successes, both personally and professionally, start with the fabulous decision to go for it and learn from the good, the not-so-good and every ounce of in between - the crevices hold power.  
 

And from  ME to YOU:

• Stop doing the stuff that wastes time and energy - the choice is yours!
• The laundry basket is NOT full.
• There’s so much more in ME to give YOU  -please humbly accept.
• I am open to receiving.  I passionately accept it ALL and thank YOU!
• Soak up the shine and the glitter. Embrace intelligence and compassion.

With gratitude, acceptance, sassy dance moves, Cueen enthusiasm and a sense of humor may this year be your BEST so far!
 

#continue #cueening

November 2022

As this long weekend winds down (and we celebrate Cyber Monday!), I recognize the power of holiday memories and how they can be emotional triggers. 

Please join me; let’s carefully process those feelings for personal and intentional growth opportunities. I hope we will continuously encourage each other to learn from the Experience of the Experience and chase new turkeys!

December, here we come!

Let’s GO, Team Cueen!

October 2022

I’m not scared of ghosts or witches - I am however frightened by people that do not return phone calls and emails and people who do not provide direct and honest answers...for better or worse.

This HalloCUEEN (and every day!), I encourage you to be a good human and not be too busy or ashamed or uncomfortable to follow through. I have learned to be empowered and strengthened by refusing to avoid discomfort and rather diving head and heart first into the candy bowl! Being direct is one of the sweetest gifts we can give to each other.  

Love you BOO! 👻

September 2022

Hindsight is a great way to learn. It is easy to look back and see how things became the way they are. What is harder is to work diligently to be present and not miss it the first time!

You cannot live in the past, be here now and celebrate the gift we lovingly call the present.

This message shows up for me every day in my son's sparkly eyes and heartwarming smile.

We have come a long way and I’m proud and grateful.

Trust in the now so you don't live in hindsight.

August 2022

We all are.  I found a penny on my run this morning and it reminded me to:

• pay attention
• be nice
• laugh and dance
• manifest

Treat EVERY morning as fresh and new - every day IS A do-over - take ownership.

Month to date, I have experienced an overwhelming sense of appreciation and gratitude, along with meaningful lessons around perseverance - I will not back down or give up. 

Let’s be relentless, loud, unapologetic and enjoy the successes and challenges.

I’ll see you on this journey as we create our ultimate lives.  That’ll be me glowing and crackling like a sparkler through the sunshine and the rainstorm- I can, I will, I AM really excited.  

WE ARE CUEENS.  L’Chiam.
