When Taking Action Is Hard, Remember To Reward Yourself!

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

I am headed back to Cincinnati for a week. Two weekend workshops, some appointments and a few remaining to-do’s there require my attention. When I lived in Cincinnati, I was always looking forward to traveling, but now that I am living in San Francisco, traveling away seems harder. Maybe it is all the boxes that [...]

Give Yourself The Gift Of Freedom From Your Stuff!

Monday, December 29th, 2008

My personal property auction is done. Tomorrow people will stop by to pick up their purchases. All these things that have been in my possession for decades will soon leave my house with someone else. I hope they love these things and use them well. But whether they do or not is ultimately out of [...]

Set Aside Your Fears To Realize Your Dreams!

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

When I signed up for the teleseminar about finding my purpose, it was because I wanted to focus my efforts as I moved closer to completing my relocation to San Francisco. Essentially, I am starting over and I wanted some clarity about how to proceed. Do I focus on helping people learn about their food [...]

Wow! Accomplishing That First Big Step Feels Great!

Monday, October 13th, 2008

My first truckload of stuff is now in San Francisco. I have a few sore muscles, but I am very happy to have completed this first big step. Today I am doing some unpacking and tomorrow I will fly back to start sorting and packing for my second and final truckload. My goal is to [...]

When Perception Is (Temporarily) Not Reality!

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Well, I have been extremely productive this past week. I set myself a goal to pack for six to eight hours a day and I did. Now my basement is full of boxes and I am off to pick up the rental truck. Today and tomorrow, I am loading the truck and Wednesday I head [...]

Passion And Persistence Pay Off!

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Last week I went to San Francisco to lay some groundwork for my move. I rented a private mailbox and some storage space. I also made arrangements to move in with a friend for a while – until my house sells and I have established a reasonably reliable source of income. Now I actually have [...]

Being At Your Best Will Help With The Rest!

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

I am flying off to San Francisco on Saturday to rent a storage unit and a mailbox there. I will also be making arrangements to rent space in a friend’s apartment beginning October 1. After months of sorting and yard sales, I am finally beginning to create space for myself in San Francisco. In early [...]

Some Days Are Harder Than Others!

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Ever tried to do something and found yourself struggling hard to move forward? For a long time (35 years), I tried to lose weight and struggled hard to accomplish that goal. When I finally found the key (for me it was food sensitivities), losing weight and keeping it off became comparatively easy. Now I am [...]

Stress Is A Killer – And Expensive Too!

Monday, August 18th, 2008

I just found out that I have a stress fracture in one of my teeth. According to the dentist, this is something that comes from clenching my jaws when I’m asleep. So now I need to spend over $1000 for a new dental crown! I guess the stress of preparing to relocate is impacting me [...]

Right Information With Right Action Creates Right Results!

Monday, August 11th, 2008

It has been an amazing week since I returned home from the seminar. I have found myself making greater progress toward my goals, feeling more relaxed and comfortable about my life, and in general feeling happier and more fulfilled. I knew that a change in perspective changes everything. I have written about that on this [...]
