You get what you focus on.
Have you ever heard that motto?
While it normally applies to something we want to accomplish in our lives, there’s nothing wrong with focusing on being grateful for what we have already.
Here’s something I learned from “The OolaGuys” (Dave Braun and Troy Amdahl, authors of the international bestselling book Oola): focusing on what’s good, what’s plentiful, or what’s improving in your world helps keep you in a state to receive even more of what’s good, plentiful, and improving.
It’s like you’re saying, "This is all cool. What else is out there for me?"
It keeps you in a state of grateful anticipation.
And by the way… Getting your own Oola life doesn’t necessarily require money, time, connections, education, or special circumstances.
• If you’ve got family and friends who “get you” and who celebrate your wins and cheer you on, be grateful.
• If you’ve got a career or calling that you love and that keeps you inspired to constantly grow, be grateful.
• If you wake up every morning in a place that’s serene, inviting, or energizing—with birds singing outside or the excitement of the city calling to you—hey, lots of people only dream about that.
• And don’t forget you’ve got opportunities to start a business, move to a different city, start a charity, go back to school—or anything else you want to do.
These are all things to be grateful for, but there’s also nothing wrong with taking steps to keep growing.
When I first started working with The OolaGuys to become a Certified Oola Life Coach, I discovered that the Oola framework has changed the lives of more than a million followers around the world.
Story after story appeared on Oola’s Facebook page of people who had hit major life goals (or simply transformed their chaos into balance and calm).
The 10-week Oola Coaching Program is a game-changer for anyone who wants to be grateful, keep growing, and ultimately live with less stress, more balance, and greater purpose.

Chaos. Overwhelm. Pandemonium. Some days (weeks/months) just roll like that, right?
But have you ever thought about putting a positive spin on these chaotic days?
Have you ever said, “Yeah, reality sucks right now, but I can still be grateful about the things in my life that are working. I can still be positive even in the face of turmoil.”
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from “The OolaGuys”—Dave Braun and Troy Amdahl, authors of the international bestselling book Oola—is that gratitude not only helps us stay balanced during life’s crazier moments, it actually brings about the support, opportunity, and abundance that keeps us balanced long term.
Gratitude fosters hope, help and healing.
So having a grateful heart—and staying in a state of grateful anticipation—is an important part of living the OolaLife.
But being grateful doesn’t mean you’re complacent or done with striving for a better life.
Remember what the OolaGuys suggest:
Keep one hand on your heart in gratitude, while the other hand reaches out toward growth.
There are probably parts of your life you’re satisfied with right now, but other parts where you know you need to grow. Am I right?
Well....that’s where I can help.
If you’ve been following my past posts, you know that I’ve joined forces with Dave and Troy to bring my followers the Oola formula via a 10-week coaching experience designed to transform your life, your finances, your relationships and more.

For now, comment below (or message me) to share one thing you’re grateful for today—
and one area where you know you need to grow.
I’m here to help next year be a breakthrough year for you!
"Be grateful, have faith, and go get your OolaLife!"
For years, I’d heard that mantra from Dave Braun and Troy Amdahl—the “OolaGuys”—in their popular books, webinars and more.
The idea of being grateful in all things—no matter what—comes from the story of Dave’s nephew Jared, who constantly looked for things to be grateful for as he slowly battled and eventually succumbed to leukemia.
Are you grateful in ALL things?
I find that, when I’m grateful, even more good things show up in my life.
I’m even grateful for the mishaps I’ve lived through, since it gives me better appreciation and a more positive outlook on where my life is going next.
Being grateful in the moment is important, but so is looking forward to what’s next—
another lesson from Oola.
In fact, as the OolaGuys say:
"Keep one hand on your heart in gratitude, while the other hand reaches toward growth".
Don’t you just love that?!?
So where do you need to reach out and grow? Where do you need to be more grateful?
When I coach clients through the 10-week Oola coaching experience, we look at the 7 major areas of life and create a plan for growing (and being grateful) in each of these areas.
Can you be grateful for what you have, while also growing in new ways? Of course you can!
Here are some examples:
Fitness: Grateful for good health, AND continuing to add more healthy habits?
Finance: Grateful for good pay, AND working on lowering debt, too?
Family: Grateful for your spouse & kids, AND working to improve your marriage?
Field: Grateful for your job, AND seeking new skills as well?
Faith: Grateful for your faith walk, AND working to implement a daily practice?
Friends: Grateful for BFFs, AND seeking mentors as well?
Fun: Grateful for time off, AND planning for new adventures too?
If you’ve been following my posts, you know that I am passionate about equipping, empowering & supporting women over 50 in getting what they truly want in all of the 7 major areas of life.
As a Certified Oola Life Coach, I can help you bring about the lifestyle, relationships and financial security you need to be happy, balanced and growing AND to be grateful in the process.

When was the last time you had some fun?
While the past several months have been exhausting for many people, you can make 2021 a better year by adding some everyday fun, hobbies, unique interests—and even “bucket list” adventures you’ve dreamed of your entire life.
“Fun” is one of The 7 F’s of Oola, and today we’re going to talk about how much fun you have in your life (or how much you need to add in order to create a life that’s happy and balanced).
If you’ve been following my posts over the past month, you know that—right now—you have a unique opportunity to make 2021 better than the crazy year we’ve just been through.
If 2020 has caused you to re-think your lifestyle, your finances, your health, your relationships and your future, we should jump on a call to discuss exactly what you want 2021 to look like! It’s what I help clients with, and it would be my honor to work with you, too.

For now, let’s see how much fun you’re having in your life—and decide whether you need to add more.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the amount of fun you have in your life?
If you answer “1,” that means low/bad/least true, while answering “10” means “high/good/most true”:
• I would rate my fun in life................... ____
• I enjoy and am having fun in life......... ____
• I try new things often.......................... ____
• I invest time pursuing my passion or hobby ____
• I have fun outside of work at least 3x per week ____

Friends. We couldn’t have gotten through this year without them.
If the past several months have made you really value friendships and connection, I have a question:
What would your life look like if your closest friendships were even more solid and supportive?
And what if you added some key friendships, like mentors, who could guide you in making difficult life or career decisions?
Friends just make life better.
In fact, “Friends” is one of The 7 F’s of Oola—the proven formula created by Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl, authors of Oola: Find Balance in an Unbalanced World. We’ve teamed up to bring my followers the
10-week Oola Coaching Program to help you make goals, stay focused and achieve the happy, balanced and growing life you want – AND deserve.
But let’s take a look at your current friendships.
Where do you need to improve?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your friendships?
If you answer “1,” that means low/bad/least true, while answering “10” means “high/good/most true”:
• I would rate my social network of friends ____
• I have unconditionally loving, supportive,
.. and empowering friends...................... ____
• I am satisfied with the number of
.. friendships in my life............................ ____
