Gratitude!
Greetings! On Thursday June 6, 2013 I celebrated my 60th year on this rock! It doesn’t seem possible that I have been around that long but I have! All I have to do is look in the mirror to be reminded of as much! As I think about this milestone day one word comes to […]
When In Doubt . . .
Doubt! How do you handle doubts when they crop up? Do you treat them as irritants? Do you allow them to immobilize your thoughts or actions? Do you give them more power than they deserve? Do you listen to the warnings sometimes imbedded in them? All too often we tend to treat Doubt as if […]

Connections
Connections. “The most lasting and meaningful connections we will make with another human being will always be at the point of his/her pain and never at the point of his/her victory!” I often share this phrase during presentations to groups when discussing the power of being with another human being during a time of extreme […]
Be . . . Still!
John Bradshaw stated the matter well when he said that we border on becoming human “doings” often missing the power and beauty of living as human “beings!” Often the busyness of life causes us to scurry by the profound without so much as a glance. We miss so many life enhancing, life building, life-altering opportunities […]
Working and Dreaming . . . Dreaming and Working
Working and Dreaming . . . Dreaming and Working go hand in hand. One without the other often proves fruitless! If you are like I am, you are often bombarded by folks encouraging you to DREAM about what you want to do, become, have, accomplish, manifest in your life! These folks, and I happen to […]
