This is one of those little catchphrases we love to use to explain why we aren’t making progress. Think about it. If we always took one step forward and two steps back, we would never make forward progress. Is that true? Nope. We move forward all the time. I did some research into this catchphrase […]
Inspiring Desires
Betrayal, Anger and Forgiveness
I was asked by my mentors to write about betrayal. More specifically, how I have felt betrayed by others. I was also encouraged to write in a way that I would avoid planting or stepping on land mines, respecting the others, and in a way that allowed me to be heard. I did what I […]
An Experiment
I want to try something. I want to share something with you. My hypothesis is that by doing so, I will become exactly what I fear you think I am… an apathetic, indifferent, unkind, manipulative, misleading, emotionless, cowardice shell of a person, therefore limiting myself. In order to share this information, I need to let […]
Being Happy
You are probably thinking, what? I am not scared of being happy. My questions back to you would be: Are you happy right now?
BTW: Between (and Eventually Beyond) the Words
I was reviewing some of my more recent posts and I found a theme among most of them. I keep stating the words are subjective, they don’t belong to the object of thought or that they are a poor way of communicating. I started thinking that you may wonder why I write (communicating with words) […]
Trusting Your Own Understanding and Moving Beyond
Studying as an adult from a variety of people comes with a lot of invitations to attend all sorts of “high end” retreats promising all sorts of things, from personal growth, business growth, relaxation while working, being with like minded individuals, master minding together, healing, etc. We have been on a handful of retreats and […]
Why Do I Put Pickles in a Bloody Mary? Because I Enjoy It
I have studied under Jack Canfield and simply adore him and all the work he and his staff do. He often asks, “What is the WHY behind everything you do?” And for a long time, I had trouble with this question. I didn’t get it. You do things because they need to be done. I […]
My Selfish Reason for Wishing the Gay Community Didn’t Want Marriage Equality
Don’t get me wrong, I am all for marriage equality and I am very happy when people achieve a goal they believe in and accomplish — woohoo!! Oh, and this has nothing to do with sexual preferences (to me, the gay community has far more depth than sexuality), so check your judgments at the door […]
Inspired Teacher or Nothing Special
This ain’t comin’ from no prophet, just an ordinary man. ~ Garth Brooks Which do you relate to first? Typically, people will respond to us in a more favorable way if we appear to be like them. So when you write a song that will be listened to by the “average Joe”, better to set […]
Sending Flowers to an Angry Person
Funny thing is that this person was actually angry at me. She thought that I intentionally forgot something and in turn made her life miserable at that moment. The thing is, I didn’t forget it. I never knew it was my job to bring it in the first place. I definitely didn’t intend to cause […]
Bossy, Bitchy or Leader
I first saw this image on Facebook. It was shared by a few of my female friends, all of whom are entrepreneurs. They wrote captions such as “Because I only want what is best for you.” and “See, your daughter is a leader.” Bossy, Bitchy or Leader?
