Have You Noticed – Where You Put Your Attention Is What You Get?

Have You Noticed – Where You Put Your Attention Is What You Get?

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

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.

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.

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 – […]
