Twice As Fast

March 30, 2010

Why do we like things “twice as?”
Twice as fast, twice as nice, and twice as pretty all have a good ring to them.  You think of things being better than expected.  Twice as good.
How about twice as hard?  Do we like that one as well?  We usually hear about successful people who have worked twice [...]

Try Something New

March 23, 2010

When’s the last time you tried something new?
Been a while?
Why?
There is a big, wide, wonderful world out there filled to the brim with opportunities.  New stuff.  New things. New experiences.  New, new, never before seen, tasted, heard, felt or tried by you!  In fact, if you tried something new every single solitary day, you would [...]

Spring Break and the Luck of the Irish

March 18, 2010

Yesterday, my husband and I were scheduled to leave on a four-day trip to sunny Cancun.
The details had been in the works for about a month.  You know how it is when you are planning a trip.  Excitement builds as you are preparing and anticipating in the days prior.  We stayed up late packing the [...]

Mind Food

March 15, 2010

We all know how important it is to focus on good thoughts.  What we think about becomes our reality.
And sometimes, we just want a little ditty to meditate on.  A line or two we can sink our teeth into.  Maybe even memorize.  For sure, think about.
I thought you might enjoy the collective wisdom of some [...]

What You Know vs. Who You Know

March 4, 2010

“It’s not always WHAT you know, but WHO you know that counts!”
Who hasn’t heard that saying more than a few times?
And with good reason. . . . there’s some pretty good truth in those words!
It’s nice to be educated, have skills, or be well-trained.  To be the one who always knows the math answer, or [...]

Do You Flow?

February 16, 2010

There’s only one way a river flows.  Downstream.
There’s only one way you really want your life to go.  Downstream.
Why?  Because going any other way is pointless.  You are going against the tide.  For the most part, we are created to go with the flow.
Now, this doesn’t mean follow the crowd.  Or copy the masses.
No.  It’s [...]

Just Words

February 1, 2010

I love words!
They can change moods, create friendships, explain problems, soothe pain , cause happiness and create joy.
They can also just as easily cause turmoil, strife, and create suffering.  Usually needlessly.
It’s happened to all of us.
The harsh word, the cutting word, the just plain wrong word.
Words can never be “taken back.”  What a shame because [...]

Patience, Patience, Patience

January 18, 2010

We all want it.
We all like it when we see it.
Patience.
It’s a great character trait to develop.  Takes time and energy but the rewards are great.
We’ve all seen the flip side.  You know, the driver who is in a hurry and is going crazy on your back fender?  Or the person waiting in line who [...]

Hug Train USA

January 8, 2010

“People all over the world, join hands, on a love train, love train. . .”
That song from the ’70s rang in my head as I was preparing to write about an inspiring adventurer I know.
Arie Moyal.
Think one person can’t make a difference?  Think again.
One person with a vision, who takes action, can create momentum, accomplish [...]

Set Your Mind

December 29, 2009

“You can do anything you set your mind to.”
Those words were spoken to me often by my Daddy.  I don’t know if they were his originally, but he did quote them regularly.
And it’s true.
Once you “set your mind to it” – it’s pretty much a done deal.  It’s amazing what starts to transpire.
Opportunities begin to [...]
