Think About It Thursday – Are you proud of yourself?
Are you proud of yourself? How often and easily do we gush with pride over our kids, our friends, our dog, etc. Just like me in this photo with my youngest son Haydn. I’m so incredibly proud of him and I tell him on a regular basis. Yet, how many times when it comes to […]

Positive Story Wednesday – The Black Dot.
One day, a professor entered the classroom and announced a surprise test. The professor distributed the question paper, with the front side facing down and asked them to turn the page and start the test. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions on the test paper.

Talk About It Tuesday – Your 5 Friends!
It’s a fact of life that some people hold us back, while others propel us forward. For instance, you can’t hang out with negative people and expect to have a positive life. The way I look at it, the most important tool at our disposal for living a better life, is other people. The people […]

Positive Story Wednesday – The Touchstone
When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book; and so, a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for a few coppers. The book wasn’t very interesting, but between its pages was a thin strip of vellum on which was […]

Talk About It Tuesday – Creating Rituals and Routines
”There is simply never enough time.” “There is always too much to think about.” Phrases I used to say on a regular basis. That was until I started implementing certain daily rituals and weekly routines. What I’ve actually discovered is these words will exist in your life if you haven’t started a daily routine moving […]
Motivational Monday – What are you waiting for?
How much of your life have you already been waiting? Hours? Days? Months? Could it possibly be more? And more importantly, what exactly have you been waiting for? A signal from the universe? The right opportunity? The moment when it feels right? Maybe you are waiting for tomorrow? Here’s something to think about…today is yesterday’s […]
Think About It Thursday – Do you write out your dreams?
Do you write down your goals and dreams on a regular basis? Or do you simply think about them, without actually recording them anywhere? As it turns out, your answer to this question has a HUGE impact on your odds of transforming whatever it is you desire to be, do, have or make into reality. […]
