I’ve been grumbling to myself about unfinished projects. Do you ever do that? Then I had the realization; Connie, have you noticed, where you put your attention is what you get? Oh yes, of course that’s true. I teach this all the time. When you are clear about your intentions and put your energy on […]
What I Learned From Celebrating The Creative
We had a wonderful experience over the weekend. We hosted our annual big music party and included a fund raiser for our non-profit. The party, entitled “Celebrate The Creative”, stirred great interest and turned into the largest, most exuberant party we’ve ever had, along with being a successful fund raiser! Let me share what I learned […]
THE VALUE IN PAYING IT FORWARD
We have a thing about giving to others – we see the value in paying forward. This translates into tipping well, extending a hand to friends in need, making opportunities happen for others, hosting parties and taking care of family. It’s a feel-good thing that comes naturally. People say that what you give comes […]
ATTITUDE – The Big Game Changer
Have you ever noticed how attitude can make the difference in how things go in your life? Last week, I witnessed an hysterical example of how attitude is the big game changer. It all started with a family visit – family with a big 1 yr old hound dog named Bubba and his interaction with […]
Is Collaboration Included In What You Do?
I had an interesting experience last week that made me wonder – Is collaboration included in what you do? It requires a special mind set, specific skills and produces an outcome that is often more successful. Maybe it’s something you’d benefit from including in your life? My husband had a spectacular concert in Nashville last […]
As Things Fall Apart – What Is The Opportunity?
I am having an interesting reaction to the continual negative news. As things fall apart, I wonder, what is the opportunity? Our political and social systems of order are unraveling. From our incomprehensible political response to Russia, to the reports of high spiritual leaders and corporate executives being made accountable for their nefarious actions, we’re […]
Just Like In 1971-Call On the Healing Power Of Hope and Friends
Now more than ever, just like in 1971, we need to call on the healing power of hope and friends. This became clear to me listening to my husband prepare for a concert, “1971” in Nashville in a few weeks. (See link below) It highlights music from that year which often spoke of the power […]
How Life Transitions Expand Your Perspective
It’s been quite a week of transitions. As I’ve reflected on it, I realized that there’s something to learn in how life’s transitions expand your perspective. I’ve been dealing with travel reentry, a friend’s death, helping my nephew move due to a career change and visiting my 98-year-old mother. There are valuable lessons in all […]
Jamaican Quotes: Lessons On Life
We just returned from a lovely stay in Negril. The more I heard people talking, the more I heard Jamaican quotes: with lessons on life. I was charmed by them. Jamaican’s are open and loving with a clear view on what’s important in life. And unlike other tropical countries, they have no desire to emulate […]
QUOTES OF THE DAY:
“GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO DO” We flew to Jamaica this week and heard this on a Delta flight ad: “Good Things Come To Those Who Do” It immediately became one of the Quotes Of The Day. It makes brilliant sense. Goodness doesn’t come to those who wait – as we’ve been told – […]
