Do you ever picture yourself walking into a room to the sound of thunderous applause? Or maybe to the sound of your very own theme song? Neither do I. But T. Harv Eker, who runs the Facebook page Life Makeover, posted a related question on his page last week and I thought it was so great, I'm sharing it with you on my blog this week. Ready? Here goes... Hmm...what would mine be? Probably the theme song from The Mary Tyler Moore Show. OK, your turn! What's YOUR theme song? Share it with me in the comments below ... can't wait to … [Read more...]

Happy (belated) Fourth of July for those in the U.S.! I hope you had a great holiday... I’m sure you were super busy that week, so if you missed my last post, you might want to check it out here – especially if you feel like your life has zigged and zagged a little. I promise, it'll help you embrace your path a bit more! So, speaking of July, I’ve noticed a lot of people taking time this month to evaluate where they’re at and what they’ve accomplished so far this year. Makes me think back to the beginning of the year, when I challenged you … [Read more...]

Have you ever taken a trip down memory lane? I did this past Sunday, when one of my aunts had a little 'memorabilia fest' at her home. Between the good food, the great company, and the hundreds of old photos and old letters my late grandfather and others had written, this little 'memorabilia fest' was, well, memorable... As I was combing through childhood photos of me (and seriously questioning some of my wardrobe choices at the time!), I found a letter my aunt had written to her mother in 1977. In it was mostly mundane kind of … [Read more...]

Greetings... So, this week's post is going to be super short and super sweet. Call it an interlude, if you will. Have you ever had an experience or a relationship that was, well, just not easy? You know the kind...rather than bringing you happiness and comfort, this experience or relationship brings you a sense of turmoil and hurt...as well as an array of other emotions. And you think, gosh, if only this relationship with this person was easier. If only this experience wasn't so difficult. Why is this happening to me? Well, maybe … [Read more...]

Tell me, what have you been doing over the last 25 years? I'm guessing, you've been... ... working your way up in your career. ... getting involved in your community. ... and, for some of you, getting married and having kids. In other words, creating lots of wonderful memories. Now, imagine that those last 25 years were stolen from you... Like they were for this month’s Inspiration Tuesday – Michael Morton. Sometimes our criminal justice system is, well, not so just... Back in the 1980's, Michael Morton was a typical … [Read more...]

Happy Memorial Day (to those in the U.S.)! One of my favorite things about Memorial Day is the annual Memorial Day Concert shown on PBS. Between the wonderful singing performances and the poignant reenactments of various soldiers' experiences (like the one that inspired my stigma post last year), the concert reminds us of the amazing ways in which our troops serve and sacrifice for our country. Remarkable when you stop to think about it, right? Going off to remote corners of the world, away from family and the creature comforts of … [Read more...]
