  I’m a great believer in goal setting. And I dearly love checking off an object benchmark on my way to the goal. However, I’m also open to either a different approach to attaining the goal or a complete change entirely (and yes, I always have a vested interest in attaining the goal or I […]

rather, a slight change. It’s time to make a shift more than a change. The shift: developing my new blog called: …but, what do you think, what do you believe? Long title, I know. If interested you can find it at: http://yourthoughtsandbeliefs.blogspot.com/. Reality is that I will be spending more time in the next couple

  I think there is little argument that a life worth living is what we all want – to be, to have such a life. However, I also suspect that except for the broad brushstroke of  ‘aspects’, this is defined differently for each person. Personalize it. What are the components that comprise your ‘Life Worth

   If there is one word that describes your ‘who’ it’s character. There are a number of attributes that describe/define character such as integrity, honesty, reliability, etc. However, in my world of definitions, bottom line, when everything is stripped away, you are your character. Webster has multiple definitions of the word – character:  “the complex of mental and

The stupid stage is identified by incredible self indulgence

  It’s all about you, you do realize – yes? Always has been, always will be. How you act and react is dependent upon what you believe, what you think, what you feel. And the foundation for this are your experiences and your frame of reference – which shapes you.  Are you doomed/blessed to be in this state

I recently read a post on facebook (Exceptional Living by Dennisse Lisseth quoting Brave Girls Club) on the question about ‘willing-ness’. As I thought more about the meaning of the word, the more I thought this is a good question to ask. It’s all very well to talk about being transparent or ‘letting the chips fall where

Do those two words define you? Not just describe but really define your life? Does the phrase – stop and smell the roses – totally irritate you? Are you part of the great – I’m too busy – horde? OK… stop for just a moment and look at your life. WHAT are you busy doing?

No, not the pom, pom thing. Perhaps I should have used the word – encourager instead. My point is – do you have someone in your life that’s your cheerleader? A cheerleader, an encourager is someone who is supportive, who pats you on your back when you do something. And the pat on the back doesn’t need
