The Travesty: To KNOW and not to DO
We feel good when we have knowledge under our belt. We believe in the inspiring and thought provoking memes we share. But are we intentionally practicing or do we think we know? Years ago, I heard a guest speaker at an event say: to know and not to do, is not to know. This phrase…

Recommit to your Goals…Daily!
Every day we need to recommit to our goals and dreams…to the contracts we’ve made with ourselves…our intentions….what we choose to continue, alter, begin or stop! At the seat of it all is what we are thinking…while we are doing. The story we are telling is far more important than any action we take. When…

Are you Communicating or just Talking?
When I saw this picture I had a good laugh. We sweet too bad lol. Then I got to thinking about messages. This message is clear and is put in a place where the person for whom it is intended will get it! Yet when we have a message we tend not to be so…

There was no grand opening, just business as usual…friends huddled together over…

The Power of Music
Been thinking about the power of words and the river words travel along…music. Been thinking about today…it’s a new day…a gift… Every day we must face a fork in the road: make the same mistakes over again…do what we have always done or decide that it’s time for the illusion to end. Think about it:…

The Power of Your Words
Sure we say…it’s just a joke…if I can’t laugh at myself sometimes then who am I? I’m just poor and polite You know me…underloved…underpaid Memes abound…what our bank accounts look like…our take home pay doesn’t take us home…we’re blowing our retirement money and going on a trip…should be back by lunchtime. Funny? Sure! But Maya…

How Memorable will this December be?
The start of a new month always holds promise. We look back at what might have been and look ahead towards what’s possible. We have not yet put our life pen to December’s paper yet… Somewhere lurking behind all our thoughts of promise and possibility lie our doubts, fears, and insecurities. This is normal. Make…

What Are You Willing to Risk?
Have you ever planned something – visualized exactly how it was going to unfold and then experience something totally beyond your control? That’s how it was for me when I met Arnold Best. We were meeting at half past one at Rituals in St. Ann’s. I got there about quarter after to settle myself and…
