And, just have fun So often we get serious about things when we would be much better served if we were having fun instead. Fun is far more magnetic than seriousness. Would you rather buy from the person who is light and fun or from the deadly serious person? Would you rather go on a […]
Painful expectations

Painful expectations For unknown reasons, my mom started retaining some water. So, she was prescribed a diuretic. The nurse told her that she would be up all night going to the bathroom. Well, that did not happen, and it caused my mom to stress out, worry, and think that something was wrong. Expectations created pain […]

Cultivating Joy Joy is both a choice and a habit. We can choose to experience joy at any time regardless of circumstances. And, how often we experience joy is a matter of habit. The more we choose to experience joy, the more habitual joy will become. Much Love, Jonathan Help me out please ~ […]
Change happens in moments

Change happens in moments Of course, we want big sweeping instantaneous change. However, that is not the way change usually happens.

Bitter to Bittersweet As I mentioned in the last Dose, my daughter’s pet rabbit died. This experience has been a great reminder for me and a great teaching opportunity for my daughter that we ALWAYS get to choose the direction of our thoughts.

Recognizing Progress

Recognizing Progress 2 years ago I wrote a Daily Dose about my fishing trip to Alaska. I talked about how I was frustrated because I had so many salmon on but couldn’t land any of them. Meanwhile other people around me were landing fish after fish. However, there were also people who were frustrated by […]

Bump and Swirl We are hanging out at a coffee shop in Anchorage (because I’d much rather hang out here than at the airport). Terry, an artist, had some of his work spread out on his table and we struck up a conversation. He used the phrase “BUMPANDSWIRL!” in talking about life and about his […]
