Deep peace and surface storms Deep down I’ve always had this sense that things are going to be okay, things are going to work out, I’ll be taken care of, that everything is all right. (I don’t know if this is the case for most people. I suspect it is, but I don’t know. Is […]

Impossible to do better than our thinking will allow It is early January and people are seriously thinking about doing better this year. But, it is impossible to do better than our thinking will allow. So, how are you going to upgrade your thinking so that you can achieve “doing better”? If you don’t upgrade, […]
Celebrating wins and progress

Celebrating wins and progress It is so important to celebrate progress – even the little things! My mom had a stroke a little over 4 weeks ago. Last week in physical therapy, she walked 90 feet with only a little assistance. The week before that, she couldn’t move her right leg. So, that is a […]

A Weak Flashlight Battery A weak flashlight battery cannot produce very much light. When we spend too much time in unfavorable environments, we get drained. When our batteries are weak, we don’t shine very bright at all. Our vitality is low. Our desire to get into productive action is low. And, we are not very […]

Choosing sides A very simple yet powerful thing we can do to shift perspectives, moods, expectations, fields of attraction, thoughts and more is to choose which side we are on.
