There are certainly times when we may (in our right mind) feel no fear. To have that internal calm makes action easy. But there are also times when we cannot get in touch with a sense of peace about action before us. But if the action before us is certainly for our good – if […]
Here’s another thought-provoking quote by Brazilian author and lyricist, Paulo Coelho, to hopefully help move our week in a positive direction. (I forgot how much I love this guy, so watch for more of his wise words in the future.) “When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
During the first week of summer (in the northern hemisphere) our minds might be full of plans for a trip to the beach, a camping excursion, vacation, or weddings. It’s the season for popsicles, picnics, and popcorn at the bandstand on a buggy, muggy night. The swooning woodwinds and blaring trumpets occasionally accompanied by the
Hope is a choice and often it is a choice that may not seem sensible in the face of facts. But when we choose hope, things change. Open doors appear where only walls had been. It may not be that the facts or circumstances have changed so much as our perspective has. Possibilities exist which
Seize the Season! Today we turn the corner and tomorrow we will begin a new month and a new quarter. In many ways, it simply starts to feel more like Spring has come. Behold the signs of new life emerging from the earth. Spring may feel like the most magical of the seasons (at least
These MIGHT be quotes by Albert Einstein. There is plenty of debate about some of the quotes attributed to him over the years, but whoever said them, I find some truth in each of them. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Imagination is more important than knowledge. The

TODAY Today represents many things to many people, and many different things, to be sure! For instance, today in 1931 Max Knoll and Ernst Ruska invented the electron microscope which allowed a resolution of 50 nanometers (billionths of a meter.) And speaking of billionths, Mattel claims to have sold over one billion Barbie dolls since
“Perfection is no small thing, but it is made up of small things.”~Michelangelo (NOTE: – I actually think that in most instances, “perfection” is really a myth. But that’s a story for another day.) Were I to speak for Michelangelo (How dare I?!) I’d feel comfortable replacing the word ‘perfection’ with ‘lasting change’ or ‘success’

Kindness Matters Today’s a busy day, so my message is very brief: One kind word can change someone’s whole day (and maybe even more!) Have a beaYOUtiful day by making sure someone else does! #DoubleDogDare http://ow.ly/i/Dg5si
Find the Good Everyday may not be a good day, but there is good in every day. If we fix our eyes upon the good (even if it’s a tiny, tiny bit of the day) we can surely influence how we feel about the day. I remember hearing a comical story years ago in which

We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change. ~ Sheryl Sandberg This may sound too good to be true – to suggest that once we become aware we will change – but I think it IS true. But it doesn’t mean that once we

If we have sufficient courage, we can own our story. Doing so will mean coming to terms with our faults, flaws, character defects, shortcomings, mistakes, missteps, and the lies we’ve told to ourselves and others. This is not a journey for the faint of heart, but it is certainly a noble journey. Owning our story
Why are you trying to make this change in your life? “Remember your reasons” is advice I’ve given and heard countless times. But before we can remember our reasons for wanting to change, we have to know them – really know them. When we talk about quitting smoking, for example, when asked about their reasons
