One hundred and five days until Christmas. I saw it with my own eyes. Wrapping paper and other Christmas items are already for sale. I must admit, I was excited that the holiday could be so close. Yet, I realized that the rush to Christmas somewhat disregards Fall Equinox, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas break…and (let’s be […]

I am practicing positivity. You should too. Did you respond with “Yes?” If not, try again. I promise you can change your life! I could list the results I have seen over the last 9 months, but I will not. If I did, I would share an experience just like yours. Ups, downs, questions, frustrations, […]

School is in across the country. Whether you are in an institution under the auspices of the department of education or not, you are in for a lesson. I’m excited for the opportunity to learn more about me and the universe I reside in. I’m excited to spend more time on what really matters. I’m […]

#MAWMondayMotivators is about inspiring you toward your best. In the midst of my #17days of #allowing, I’m learning that inspiration is not just about doing and how hard you can work yourself. It’s a lesson that has greater meaning as I get older. It’s a lesson that fits well with focusing on what really matters. […]

Being in Reno has challenged my openness to the vibrations of others. Long-time residents have confirmed my feeling that Nevadans in Reno are “more closed” compared to other parts of the country. As a nosey, every-day psychoanalyst, people strike me as “over-protected.” What surprised me was my turmoil over how best to engage. The best advice […]

Life is full of seeming contradictions. From healthy eating tips, to exercise routines, to self-help advice, it can seem confusing to do the right thing. Consider the grown-up version of the challenge. It’s not as simple as doing the right thing. As an adult, you have to “Do the right thing for you.” This requires […]

It’s the beginning of another “back-to-school” season. Just about every school primary, secondary, and higher education will begin classes this month. That makes this month second only to January in the sense of new beginnings. It’s also a political season. As a result, the sensitive needs of education, infrastructure, and future leadership are palpable as […]

I don’t get people. Actually, I’m a student of human behavior. But, it’s getting harder to reconcile the actions of individuals with their statements. You want to write a book. But, you are NOT writing. You want to be healthy. But, you refuse to make the time to exercise. It used to be that I […]

I have some questions for you this week. In the frustration and energy expenditure of searching for a new home, I was struck by the challenge we all face. How intent are you on building? Or, do you simply expect to “find” your joy? Many areas of life are about expecting new, pristine, and ready […]

The problem is immaterial. The solution begins with you. The challenge is that many are unsure about their power, their purpose, their opportunity, their purview, and their context. All 5 are required for causality. You can make change happen, but you make the decision of engagement or indifference with each choice you make. Each of […]
