Flower Gardens and Personal Growth I was looking at my flower gardens this morning and comparing the 4 different flower beds. One is new this year. Two are three years old. One is older. They are all planted with perennials. The new garden looks good. The plants are small with plenty of space between […]
Relaxed Conversations

Relaxed Conversations I spoke at the Financially Fit Females meeting tonight. I didn’t speak at them, I had a relaxed conversation with them that created a tremendous amount of value (based on the feedback, not my ego). Reflecting on this afterwards, I concluded that the vast majority of situations we find ourselves in will go […]

Puzzling If we dumped a 1000-piece puzzle on the table, we would expect that it will take some time to put it all together. We would expect to be challenged and have periods of fast progress and periods of slow progress. We’d have pieces that don’t seem to fit anywhere and pieces that look like […]

People often forget this. And, it seems to be getting worse with the ramp up to the presidential race. Here’s […]

Deep Identity Are you a saint that occasionally stumbles or are you a sinner that seldom gets things right? Are you inherently good or inherently bad? Are you a miracle or are you a screw up? Are you a winner or are you a loser? At a deep level, people all too often identify themselves […]

It is all packaging

It is all packaging Any time that we get upset, feel bad, or harshly judge ourselves about our bodies and about how we look – we are confusing the packaging with who we really are. Tall, short, wide, thin, big nose, small nose, freckled, straight teeth, crooked teeth, six-pack abs, 1-fluffy-pack abs . . […]
