The art of kindness…...

 ”Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.” - Seneca   Good morning! Think about your last several days. Try to envision the faces of people that you saw, try to remember what they were saying, or what their facial expressions revealed about how they were feeling. Can you remember any vividly? Think not only of your immediate family and friends, but strangers that you encountered while shopping, or walking, or doing errands. Can you remember how you felt as you saw each of those people? Were you intimidated? Did you have...

Do what matters…...

 ”Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.” Pablo Picasso Good morning! As many of you already know, I love Picasso quotes and am always excited to stumble across a new ‘gem.’  While we have all heard many versions of the message… “make every day count” or “today is all that matters” this quote seemed to sum that up in a fresh perspective for me. When I first read it, I thought to myself: Is there anything today that I need to start or leave in process to make sure it is seen in the...

Are you holding back on life?...

 ”If you hold back on life, life holds back on you.” Mary Morrissey Good morning. Have you ever had something you were yearning to say, but then you suppressed it? Have you ever felt like you should spring into action, only to remain immobile? Have you felt the calling of your heart toward a dream-yet drowned the calling with doubt?

Change and chance...

Find your wings…...

“Whatever you can dream you can do, begin it; boldness has genius, power and magic in it.” Goethe  Good morning!  I have learned from my own experience that there is great truth in these words. Many times we will analyze and ponder and weigh our options-but what we end up doing is creating a barrier toward action. When we know in our heart something is right (it aligns with our core values) sometimes we have to just take the leap. Interestingly, I have become quite good at this leap. And guess what? My wings have never failed me. There have been times where I...

Which way are you headed?...

“To  be always doubting your ability to get what you long for is like trying to reach east by traveling west.” Charles Baudouin Good morning! I am convinced that one of the most common places we practice reverse psychology is on our selves! In the past week, I was taking notes and here are some examples: The smoker who wants to quit and details her quitting plan over a cigarette. The woman who says she wants true love in her life, but stays in a relationship that is unfulfilling. The professional who wants to reach the top, but then watches the clock and...
