Action separates between the winners and the losers in life. Massive action is the key to consistency in productivity and achieving results in life. Being consisstent in action does not mean filling up your days with activity. Activity does not necessarily mean productivity. You must have a clear-cut goal that you aim at attaining. Failure [...]
One of the most important things that must be grasped in life is that growth is not permanent. Many times we set a goal for accomplishment and once that goal is attained we sort of settle into a feeling that we have arrived. Best example of this is the diploma mentality. Most people stop learning [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Welcome to February, THE MONTH OF LOVE.
It seems every year this time I write about love; how to find it, maintain it or salvage it in relationships.
In The Heart of Love by Dr. John F. DeMartini, he shares that every couple is together because of one of the following. They are:

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 [...]
For the month of December, our theme is the most amazing gift you ever gave or received.
How often do we consider the gift of seasons?
It happens annually, without fail. Season’s transform!
It begins with spring the drama queen, with dozens of flowers unique to spring.
New life abounds.
Summer, brings heat, sending us in search of water, with [...]
Are you comfy with the process of creating what you desire? Aware that you do it every moment of every day? Everything in life up to this point, and forever moving forward, is, was, and will be created by you. Not just some of it, ALL of it! YOU’RE DOIN’ IT!
Question: Does it seem as [...]

Colin Powell takes leadership to an extreme place. His ten bullet points on leadership are filled with wisdom, but his thoughts on embracing change cause me the most discomfort.

We all face problems daily. As a matter of fact, life is a series of problems with an occassional crisis here and there. One of the most important skills to develop therefore is the art of systematic problem solving. Systematic problem solving simply means having a methodology for handling life’s problems. By solving problems in an orderly [...]
One of my passions is enjoying and engaging in current movies with my partner. We rarely miss a Friday night at the local theater. During one of our trips, something unexpected occurred while waiting for the feature to begin.
A dynamic and profoundly moving ad came across the screen. I almost choked on my popcorn. It [...]
Earlier in the week I posted some lessons on my blog that I had learnt by watching Phil Mickelson play and win at the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston. In one of the comments I was challenged by Robert Hruzek to relate the lessons to the topic of change (I like it when I’m challenged mentally). Well, this challenge [...]
