This past Monday was Labor Day here in the US. A day off to honor working people. A day to relax from your work life. Many people consider it the end of summer and spend time outside to celebrate. Those of you not in the US, is there a day like this in your country?…

I received an email from Marie Forleo saying these 3 words saved her sanity. She was navigating her grandmother’s health challenges and living arrangements from a different state. She went on to say: “There’s not a day that goes by that the figureoutable philosophy doesn’t somehow help me find hope, clarity, and strength.” The phrase…

Our thoughts and how we feel about our thoughts determine our existence. The life we live. Noticing our thoughts. Changing those that keep us stuck, keep us from moving in the direction of our vision, is one way to creating lasting change. Even a one-degree shift in our thinking can cause a massive change over…

I saw this quote and thought – Yes, that’s it! Mastery is a process. A journey. Not an end point. It’s about learning and growing. In the past, I had always said that I am a jack of all trades – master of none. I love to learn. My favorite shows on TV are ones…

I receive emails from different people everyday. People who inspire me. Who I learn something from. Today’s Darren Daily was called – “What Everybody Ought to Know About Technology.” Darren Hardy talks about going to a gorgeous art deco theater and to see a ballet. He is in the balcony so he can experience the…

There are times when we are our own worst enemy. We think it has to be a certain way and can’t seem to get out of our own way to find another solution. It reminds me of a story Price Pritchett tells, in the book You2, about a fly who keeps flying into a window…

Today, in the US, it’s Independence Day. The day the Declaration of Independence was signed. The official commitment of the 13 Colonies to claim independence from British rule. Everyone who signed that document knew if the British won, they were signing their own death warrant. They signed it anyway. That’s how committed they were to…
