I have a sister…

Kathy – 4 years younger, she grew up with much less supervision and rules then me, I think my parents cried “uncle” after raising me and my older sister Teri. Kathy seemed to figure things out earl…she “flows” through life…we call her Mrs. Magoo – everything comes to her at the right time. Birds and… Read more »

To give or not to give…

“Giving” is the only word that is on 2 lists, one list being Positive and the other being Negative: 1. Love, gratitude, hope, dreams, passion, GIVING, etc. 2. Hate, anger, resentment, jealousy, contempt, GIVING, etc. Many people I coach have a challenge with giving too much…time, money, emotion etc. until they feel there is nothing… Read more »

I’ll do it when…

I get more time. Ever said that to yourself? I did, last week when my youngest wanted to watch a movie with me, and after I said it, it hit me like a brick, because I forgot… We will never have “more” time, only the time that ticks by. And in embarrassingly remembering that, I… Read more »

Decisions, decisions…

That’s what surrounds us everyday, but the cool part about it, is that it’s always our choice on what we decide. Yet the big decisions are what most of us have a challenge with, and those challenges lie between: “Trust and Fear” & “Commitment and Collapse” But again, we also have a choice of which… Read more »

Life is…

A maze to success. This is from my 11 year old son, Sam. Right on again. Life is not a straight shot, and we can’t ever see the finish line. There are so many paths to choose, twists and turns, and some dead ends, where we need to retrace our steps, and occasionally go backwards… Read more »

Being Rigid…
