Dec 25, 2017 - Are you counting your blessings? As this year winds down, are you counting your blessings and reflecting upon how you can bring forth even more in the oncoming year? Are you slowing down enough to truly embrace the good that has happened, even amidst some setbacks or unexpected twists?

Sept 2, 2013 - Is your work a labor of love? As you celebrate this Labor Day, do you view the work that you do as a labor of love or a labor of necessity?

Jan 23, 2012 – Weighed down by obligations? Is a current commitment you have made weighing heavy on you right now?

July 12, 2010 – Are you avoiding something? Do you find yourself avoiding aspects of your work, business or life because it is not exactly the way you had hoped out would be? Don’t allow frustration or disappointment to be your excuse not to take action. Avoidance only serves to bog you down emotionally, and distract you to inaction on other fronts. Whatever it is, you have the power within you to make it better, more rewarding, or to reach an understanding or decision that can help you...

Aug 3, 2009 – Are you overwhelmed? Did you wake up this morning anxious and ready to take on the work week with gusto? OR were you thinking about how much you have on your plate or a task or project that you are not all that excited about tackling? Then you are still in that balancing mindset — feeling pressure, guilt and frustration instead of creating excitement, anticipation and action. If you are feeling overwhelmed or not all that excited about something, then delegate, delegate,...
