Well, I got back home and reread my previous post to get fired up all over again about getting rid of more stuff. And for a couple of hours that worked really well. Then I got bogged down in the process. My “get rid of it” decision making turned into “well maybe I should keep [...]

I hope your holiday weekend went well. Mine was spent with people I love and that is always wonderful! It was also great to take a few days off and not have to work on my long to-do list. Even with my new practice of scheduling things more productively, there is always so much to [...]

I asked for feedback last week on this new “short and sweet” blog format that I am using. About whether you liked it better or preferred my old format with longer posts. The response was generally to test drive the current format for a little longer and see what happens. So at this point, these [...]

Last week I was supposed to be working at a special event. A new friend was starting up a monthly Spiritual Breakfast for CEOs and Executive Managers. The format was to have well-known leaders speaking on important topics, and then have small group discussions about how to take the practices that the speaker presented back [...]

Today I am in Lake Tahoe at the second two-day seminar of a year-long process dedicated to getting my business on track. This group started out at somewhere around 45 people but we are down to less than 35 at this point. So between the first and second seminar there was around a 25% dropout [...]

Senator Ted Kennedy passed away last week and everyone has been writing about his life. As I was reading through all the various articles, I found a quote that was apparently one of his more famous sayings. I looked it up online to find its source and discovered it was from his 1980 Democratic National [...]

Motivation is an interesting subject. I input the word into a Google search engine and got almost 70 million results! The most referenced topics (at the top of this long list) included definitions of the term, motivational quotes, how to motivate yourself and others, and how to teach motivation. Obviously the topic has a lot [...]

I sold my old house this week! Hurray! I believed it could happen and it did! So I have done my happy dance (short form) in celebration of this accomplishment. And thank you Milford (my real estate agent) – you are absolutely awesome! I am saving another happy dance (long form) for when I finish [...]

I have been experimenting with some new recipes this past week. Adjusting ingredients to replace what I am sensitive to with ingredients that I can use. As I have a sensitivity to yeast and thus should avoid all fermented foods and regular sugar, this can be challenging. However, my experiments so far have turned out [...]
