Living all of you…
“While we have the gift of life,
it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die—
whether it is our spirit,
our creativity,
or our glorious uniqueness.”
Gilda Radner
Life continuously challenges us to make choices,
and still find a sense of balance.
Sometimes it feels like managing all of the parts of life is a graceful [...]
Write it down!
“The discipline of writing something down
is the first step to making it happen.”
Lee Iacocca
Some say that they don’t have time,
others say they don’t need to,
but the bottom line is, writing a goal is a commitment.
A commitment to you, and a commitment to owning what you want.
Yet so many aren’t willing to commit to what they [...]

“Listen…
Are you breathing just a little
and calling it a life?”
Mary Oliver
This captures it all, doesn’t it?
Read it.
Read it again.
Now, answer the question…
Are you?
Think about it…
Are you??
And, if you’re breathing “just a little,”
and it’s been that way for far too long,
what are you going to do about it?

Living…or just thinking?
“You cannot plough a field
by turning it over
in your mind!”
Anonymous
There is a point to planning, and thinking, and developing a direction in which you will head.
But, for many, they stay there…for too long (and some stay there forever!).
You cannot iron out all the wrinkles from the couch.
You cannot do everything in your head, or on [...]
Go…FASTER!
“The more one hurries, the less time they have.”
The Universe
“If only I had more time…”
“There aren’t enough hours in the day…”
“I wish I could clone myself, because just one of me can’t get it all done!”
At one time or another, many of us have felt like there simply was too much to do, and not [...]
What if Change IS Security?!
“Security can only be achieved through constant change,
through discarding old ideas
that have outlived their usefulness
and adapting others to current facts.”
William O. Douglas
Live on the edge…
Today, do something that most never have the courage, or the faith, to do.
Take inventory of your life.
What does that mean, and how does one do it?
Simple.
Answer these questions…
What is working [...]
You hold it in your hands…
“The future depends on what we do in the present.”
Mahatma Gandhi
People love to talk about the future, don’t they?
People talk about how amazing it will be…they dream about it, and many live in anxious anticipation of what the future will bring, as if they are waiting for the delivery person to drop some kind of [...]
I have it all…and, perhaps I always have.
“I feel so grateful as I get older.
When I was younger, I had this sense of longing, a low-grade ache.
In the past decade, I’ve come to understand that all I longed for, I have.
That almost simple-minded realization quietly changes all the colors in the room.”
Leah Hager Cohen
It is amazing that the same life can look [...]
You are the sun…
“Concentrate all your thoughts on the task at hand.
The sun’s rays do not burn until brought in to focus.”
Alexander Graham Bell
How many of us live our lives feeling:
Scattered?
Rushed?
Stretched?
Distracted?
Overextended?
Unfocused?
We are constantly “doing,” yet seem to get nothing done!
This state of distraction has become the new version of what it means to be successful.
You must be important [...]
If you wish…
“If you wish the world to become loving and compassionate,
become loving and compassionate yourself.
If you wish to diminish fear in the world,
diminish your own.
These are the gifts you can give.”
Gary Zukav
I recently had an interesting conversation with a mother that was very upset
over “the state of the world,” and what that meant in the future [...]
