Get It Right Today, Not Tomorrow
Do your employees and leaders too often operate in Survival Mode, putting out fires and putting off until tomorrow what should be done today? This program powerfully dispels the notion that there will always be a tomorrow in which we can finish today’s unfinished business and moves individuals to work and live with intentionality.

Safety: Don’t Count on 2nd Chances
Can too much experience be a bad thing? Absolutely…if it leads to complacency. The highly experienced pilots of Flight 965 were lulled into a false sense of security that led to the deaths of 160 people. Mercedes’ one-of-a-kind safety presentation uses the factual account of the crash of Flight 965 as an anchor to drive home the dangers of complacency and the importance of situational awareness.

Mercedes’ message gave me new insights and showed me ways to overcome obstacles in my career and personal life. It even motivated me to get out in the field and make some sales!

I want to thank you for coming into my life with your story. You showed me that no matter how desperate things may seem, no matter how low our spirits may get, we are in control of the outcome. I was so touched by your story and how strong you are. People have always told me that special people were put on this earth to inspire others to do better in their lives. After meeting you, I see that it is true.

The group found your messages important and very inspiring as we were coming out of our busiest time of the year. It is very easy for us to get trapped in the routine of our daily lives. Thank you!

June is #NationalPTSDAwarenessMonth. Combat veterans, victims of major trauma (sexual assault, physical/emotional abuse, abandonment), survivors of life threatening events (near drownings, criminal assault, plane crashes, fires) all live with the triggers and flashbacks that characterize PTSD. Not all wounds are visible and everyone is trying the best they can. For help and resources please visit

Yes… depression is real and legit …and I believe in the direct nutrition for a partial “fix” …and why I say partial fix ….is the many reasons that cause depression; nutrition is a founding supporter; but you can eat all you want … go wherever it takes you or doesn’t ,,,our chemistry can upset our lives… but I believe the basic reason for any of those things to disrupt our immunity or sanity or social activity waning …lays within our environmental existence of our homes….for our relationship with those whom we care for and love are a great and powerful influence on our mentality if we seek and do not find the everyday support and love , naturally then we start changing…. Quite simple
Exactly!!!
Happy and incredibly honored to talk about my favorite little angels Dorian and Wynn for the National MPS Society’s virtual family conference.
My family’s journey in the world of pediatric rare disease was truly a blessing, and continues to bless us and inspire us in countless ways.

There’s all sorts of ways to offer support and assistance, but making it about you is not one of them. Be an open minded listening ear, a friendly helper, and an advocate on their behalf. Anyone you are making yourself available to is blessed to have you in their life. They may not express their gratitude immediately but they’ll never forget who was there for them in their time of distress, so keep being that ray of sunshine people need!
