  Action separates between the winners and the losers in life. Massive action is the key to consistency in productivity and achieving results in life.

  Sowing Seeds   Attitude, Choices, Inspiration, Learning, Success (2)

  I’ve been a bit reflective lately, surprising I know. *snort* I’m seeing with more and more clarity how we create our own realities, frame our own expectations and then our very lives based on those thoughts and feelings.
  This sounds supremely simple, yet every day the energies and resources spent refuting the truth are insurmountable. [...]

  Back The Train Up   Attitude, Change, Choices, Inspiration, Tangents (5)

  This morning I was reading a friend’s blog post about common sense and how it’s gone on a “permanent vacation” (I loved those words!) Then I went out and looked at some old articles I started to write several months ago. One was titled “Back The Train Up” and I’d begun by sharing how [...]

  Put a Ribbon in My Hair?!?   Attitude, Change, Choices, Growth, Inspiration (2)

  Toss out the “roles” and discover your freedom.
  As a woman from the south, born in the ’50s, I was raised to be small, quiet, polite and inauthentic… a perfect southern belle. The instructions were to look and act pretty, speak when spoken to and keep a low profile, ESPECIALLY around men. I was groomed to [...]

  What comes out of reflection?   Attitude, Choices, Inspiration (7)

  For me, a time of reflection usually leads to some writing. There is so much information flowing. So much sensory input to absorb. It takes time to put it together, make some sense of it.
  The reflection time can come in the shower. Literally cleaning up for the day. Some how that provides a good [...]

  Reflecting on Reflecting…   Attitude, Change, Choices, Giving, Growth, Inspiration (7)

  Well January is already almost gone and I can hardly believe it. If you’re like me you spend a bit of time at the beginning of the year reflecting on the past. What did I accomplish last year? How did I improve my life and the lives of those I met? Where [...]

  Nelson Mandela on Optimism   Attitude, Choices, Inspiration, Success (3)

  My favorite quote (which I believe to be one of the greatest statements ever uttered) is from Nelson Mandela. No man, besides Mahatma Gandhi, has ever demonstrated greater leadership since Constantine the Great in 280 AD. Mandela is an icon - a rare species of a man, who was jailed for more than twenty years yet stayed focused and came out to [...]
