The practice of possibility and the possibilities through practice
That’s impossible! How often does that phrase show up in our daily lives? Even if we are not actually saying it – if we were truthful – we think it – A LOT! “I could never get THAT job” “I could never write like THAT” “I could never learn to play the guitar like THAT…

Procrastination…how we die to our true selves daily
Henry David Thoreau urged us to go confidently in the direction of our dreams and live the life we’ve imagined. Yet we slip so easily into procrastination, like our favorite pair of pyjamas…[ahhhhhh sweet] and it prevents us from putting forth the necessary effort and work needed to be done to channel our goal from…

The Power of Connection
We are so uber-connected these days. Technology provides us with so many self serve options that we seem to be connecting to each other less and less.

Keep the grass closest to you – Green
Have you ever noticed that many times the grass immediately surrounding a sprinkler head is brown? Laurie Beth Jones calls this the Sprinkler Phenomenon of Management. So much energy and drive is going to the outer reaches of the yard that the grass closes to the source of the water is left dry. We often…
