The Benefits of being Practical
Practical… one of my favorite words…This week’s blog talks about the advantages of being ‘practical’ in our approach to growth. Solomon of old said in Ecclesiastes 1:9 ‘The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing […]
Three Leadership Lessons from Winston Churchill for Every Day Life!
3 things we learn from Winston Churchill I love history and history reminds me of cross stitch. The colors, the layers, and intensity can be so complex and beautiful but behind the scenes, a tangled mess. Yet the lessons from history can as simple as ‘I like it’ or ‘I don’t!

Time Traveling Dreams
Tales from the Road Series In the mild temperatures of April in Bologna Italy 1874 a dream was about to be captured that would change the world and… it would change your world. I don’t have permission to use the name but I recently read an obituary that had footing and foundations from 145 […]

When I think of reaching goals, there is one topic that always has to be discussed and that is ‘Endurance’. In one of my previous blogs, we talked about ‘Dreams’ but part of reaching dreams is finding ‘Endurance’ through the journey. When Mark Twain said “Write what you know” he hit the nail on […]

Like standing the deck of a rolling ship, you always have to shift and anticipate the next move and be ready to brace and stand […]

Steps to Transformation
I have found as I have aged that my calling is to help others with transformation. There are many aspects of transformation and… there are many areas of life that can be transformed. But in truth, I love seeing others embrace the challenge and art of becoming the person they want, desire and dream of […]
Thankful for Memory and Magic.
I took a little time with Elizabeth to go back over this last year and ‘thank God’ for all He did and got us through and all He blessed us with. In doing this one of the things that occurred was my eyes fell on a favorite photo of mine that is of Elizabeth riding […]
Looking Forward with Hope, Looking Back with Perspective
I sat down this morning, in the early hours of 4 am, under the twinkling lights of our Christmas tree to jot down these thoughts about the past 12 months. As the year finally starts to roll to an end I have been thinking much about the lives we live, the loves we have, the […]
