The Benefits Of Recognition
Recognition has been the theme of the week. We had three people graduate from our diversion court against the odds, amidst tremendous cheers. There was an awards dinner by NAMI Lexington, highlighting many people who devote themselves to helping others. And our non-profit, GreenRoom Exchange, hosted performances by our three international grant winners. In all these […]
Claiming The Gift Of Your True Nature
Claiming your true nature was a theme for many of the speakers at a Tedx event I attended in Ocala. I was struck by how many people told stories of overcoming adversity to finally find their true nature.

On Creating A Standard Of Excellence
A standard of excellence is something you develop – it doesn’t just happen. It takes experience, vision, discipline, a clear decision that it is important, and most of all, alignment with who you are.

The Importance Of How You Show Up
How you show up has been clearly demonstrated to me lately. There have been a plethora of public events and I have attended many of them. It has given me the opportunity to watch the dynamics of how one shows up and to be more aware of my own actions as well. I’ve been most […]
BEFORE MAKING A CHANGE – TRY THIS FIRST
Change is all around us with the beginning of fall. Even before the leaves change here in Kentucky, we are being reminded of pumpkins, ripe apples in the orchard, and the ramping up of seasonal events way before their time. It has traditionally been a time of big change for me too, from starting new […]
Brainwash Defense – Be Responsible For Your Mind
We are all targets for brainwashing – and if you back up far enough you can watch it come at you. From the political sound waves from both sides and the relentless advertising designed to target your preferences, to the forces of social media trying to shape our desires, we are inundated. The only defense […]
