This week’s inspiration is the ability to change your mind. My folks taught me. My parents showed the importance of changing your mind. My father’s first answer to any questions was always no. No, to where we wanted to eat. No, to Caribbean vacation. And even no to putting a pool into the yard -NO! Fortunately, my mother knew this about my dad that he always needed to say no and then turn around and say yes. Yes, to where…..
This month’s inspiration is a Kierkegaard quote. “Faith sees best in the dark.” Faith is rarely used when experiencing a good life or a successful time or falling in love. However, when we find ourselves in the dark going through tough times, faith steps up beside us -gently holding our hand- so that we know we are not alone. Faith becomes our best friend during these times. It keeps us company, having our back, and reminding us that the good…..
This week’s inspiration is a list Who is on the list Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Stephen King, Jim Carey, and Walt Disney are all on the list that inspires me. Not for what they have done but what they all overcame. From being told they were not good enough by publishers- Stephen King – to not having enough imagination – Walt Disney – they all rose above their past. The list proves that hard Times define us The hard times…..
THIS WEEK’S INSPIRATION IS AN OPEN HEART I highlight what makes our heart’s so beautiful. A FABLE ABOUT A BEAUTIFUL HEART I share the story of an older man and a young man who say they both have beautiful hearts. The young man’s heart is perfect, new, and shiny, while the older man’s has tears and scars and gouges removed. They battle over who wins until the older man shares why his is more beautiful. The young man is touched…..
Big Changes Happening This week’s video inspiration is a Buddha saying, “Everything changes; nothing remains without change.” I highlight how we are going through significant disruptions in social justice, voting rights, women’s rights, gay rights, black rights, gun rights. Everything is up in the air with change. I have faith that we will come out of this period with more inclusion, more stable and expanded rights, and frankly more love, compassion, and acceptance. We Can Participate In Change “Everything changes; nothing remains…..
Stop talking and instead practice This week’s inspiration is forgiveness. We all are taught about forgiveness, but so few of us actually practice it. Unfortunately, we now live in a “cancel culture” where you need to be canceled if you did something wrong 10 minutes ago or ten years ago. However, I do see the difference between 10 minutes ago and ten years ago. Hopefully, you have grown and changed in the last ten years, and so has the person……
This weeks inspiration is Turn On A Dime In this video, I share how I was fretting about what may happen when a friend reminded me that I always say that things can turn on a dime. Why not this? That made me think about this saying and what it has meant to me over the years. It means your life can change directions on the smallest of coins – a dime. How my life suddenly changed I share m…..
Change Your Negative Beliefs In this video, I stress why you need to change your negative beliefs instead of making resolutions you rarely keep. Elephant Story In changing your negative beliefs, I share a story about elephants and how a small rope kept them from running away. This begins on babies, and as they grow up the same rope is used. Knowing they can not break free as babies, they assume they cannot as adults. They end up having a…..
Becoming your authentic self More and more people say the phrase – I want to become my authentic self. But what does it mean to BE your authentic self, and what must you Do? I answer the 2nd part of that question first. What you must do to become your authentic self means you learn to love yourself – unconditionally. Lacking in self-love to having self-love However, You will not go from having little to overflowing with self-love in a…..
Lacking in Self-Love When I helped three people face the end of their lives, they all had the same regret. They were of different generations and lived different lives, but they all had the same regret: They wished they loved themselves more. I, too, lacked self-love, and after years of reading and doing spiritual, metaphysical, and personal growth work, I finally decided to get to the root of the problem. – My lack of self-love. I was learning that self-love…..
