Leadership Lesson: Do it Afraid!

The single biggest reason I have discovered as to why people don’t reach their potential is not a lack of talent, resources or information.

It is simply an unwillingness to make a committed decision to go after what they want. They allow doubt, fear and excuses to hold them back. Read more »

Live Life Like a Vacation

Is anyone else OVER this winter weather?!?!  I’m done with the cold and ready for the renewal that spring brings to my spirit and to the earth.  This also has me fantasizing about vacation planning.  We always feel SO much better when we’re on vacation, don’t we?  What words come to mind when you think of being on vacation… relaxing, slow-paced, or maybe family focused?

I think we should feel like that even when we’re NOT on vacation.  Why should we enjoy life in this way for only 2 weeks out of the year?  I want to feel like that as much as possible, don’t you?!?!  So how in the world do we do that? Read more »

Remember the Little Things

Do you remember what you did yesterday? How about last week?  Did your kids saying something funny, a friend do something thoughtful, or maybe it was just a beautiful day and you felt blessed.  These should be memorable experiences, right?  But in our fast-paced lives these things come and go so quickly, we lose the memory almost as soon as it happens.  This is exactly why I journal.  It allows you to put down thoughts and remember experiences that have made you the very person you are today.

So we have created a small group of jobs for them to pick from. Read more »

The Choice is Really Yours

Do you have a list of goals? Be it personal or just something you’ve always wanted from your “wish list”?
Do you believe that you can achieve them?  Are financial circumstances holding you back? In many cases the only one holding you back is yourself. Some things take time.

They say, “Good things come to those who wait”. Are you thinking? Yep, I hear ya I’ve been waiting a long time and I’m still without. There’s a chance you may not want it bad enough, because if you did then you would have taken the proper steps to achieve it. Read more »

Over Indulgence Equals Expectation

With the holidays upon us we need to think about what we are giving and how much we are spending.  I have talked to hundreds of people and the biggest stress and fear they have are the expectations that come with the holiday season.  It has gotten to the point that most family’s feel that they can’t even enjoy the holidays because of these expectations they get from their children, spouse, friend and members etc. Read more »
