When Actions Speak Louder Than Words

I’m about to tell you a story of a very special person who probably will be a little embarrassed to know I’m telling it. You see, she does what she does out of a love and compassion that is inspirational to me. This genuine kindness is the happiness story I’m compelled to tell today. Every … Continue reading When Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Day 17 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

It’s possible I haven’t said everything I wanted about telling stories yet. Stories can be told in many ways and about so many things. Of course this realization comes to me from another Ted talk. Please take a few minutes to listen to Giles Duley’s  transformation from observer to storyteller, and how he discovered he … Continue reading Day 17 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Day 16 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Now that I’m not watching as much TV, I find that the conversations & readings of that day come more readily to mind during day dreams, whereas they were only part of my sleepy dreams before… I haven’t been very good at remembering dreams in the past. Free the mind from passive input and big ideas grow. … Continue reading Day 16 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Day 13 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Would you permit me to crusade a little on a topic I am passionate about?  I want to inspire policy makers and leaders to change the current paradigm we use in education and help foster a revolution of creativity for the benefit of our children and generations to come. How can you help me? Start … Continue reading Day 13 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Day 12 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Over the last two days I’ve discussed the importance of being a listener, and of waiting to be asked for advice or for help, before jumping in with it. I reread these articles only to come to the conclusion that I may have been giving myself permission to be passive, to procrastinate, and to put … Continue reading Day 12 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Day 10 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

First, I changed the title and added two words: “ To Do”. I have been wondering why I felt very self-indulgent with the previous title, and it is because the meaning of my search wasn’t clear to me, so I may not be to you, either. It’s amazing how two little words can change the … Continue reading Day 10 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Day 8 – What I Want – 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

While I don’t rememberer my dreams from last night very clearly, I woke up with a singular and strong desire. I want my purpose in life to be doing something in the service of others. Admittedly, one side of me dreams to be on stage giving Ted talks for doing something amazing, something that helps … Continue reading Day 8 – What I Want – 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Day 7 – What I Want – 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Going to bed last night I was still uncertain of what I’d write about today. I only had a clear feeling that it would come to me. Either in my dreams during the night, my meditation this morning, the Ted talks I watch while on the treadmill, or from the guiding voices in my mind. … Continue reading Day 7 – What I Want – 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Day 6 – What I Want – 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

I want to be a writer.  Once upon a time, I believed I could be a poet. So, I wrote a bunch of poems, submitted them to some poetry mags and contests, and finally got two published. Somewhere in the American National Library of Poetry  & The International Library of Poetry  sit tomes containing my … Continue reading Day 6 – What I Want – 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Day 5 – What I Want – 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

I want to make my dreams come true. Too vague, you say? Give us a specific dream, you demand? Well, ok then! I want to open and run a successful Art & Decor Gallery called “FOUND”. Showcasing sculpture, glass, painting, collage, and repurposed items… like furniture, lamps, and decorative highlights for your home. I want … Continue reading Day 5 – What I Want – 30 Days to Clearly Defining It
