Please Share Hope

Hope is a funny thing. It is powerful and plentiful if you choose it, yet fragile and scarce if you don’t. The other extraordinary aspect of hope is that once you share it, hope can multiply exponentially – and costs no money at all. The “cost” is in elevating your care, kindness, and compassion. Wow

Be That Person

 A little while ago, I received a text from my friend, Lynn (see the post: Ultra Compassion in Red https://wp.me/ptZ2F-2r0 if you want to learn about her positive actions). It was a simple quote: “Be the reason someone believes in the goodness of people.” (If you know the author of this quote, send that on

Activate Yourself

“Activate yourself,” my mentor told me recently. Her comment was more of command than a suggestion. She knows me well and could see I was thinking and analyzing a bit more than was necessary. My mentor was pushing me to act. Thank goodness for her. I dove into a project I have been talking about

Start Where You Are

It’s so easy to wait for the perfect moment, to keep “getting ready”, or to want to feel really confident before moving ahead. However you feel, you can start now – where you are. It’s a funny thing about action: once you take one step, you have a new foundation for the next step.  Even

How Much Are You Worth?

    At times, I feel less than. The funny thing about this is that no one tells me or treats me as if I am not enough. It all comes from within my own mind and heart. The good news is that is also where it can change. When I am feeling less than confident,

For Success: Choose Your Next Challenge

I sometimes think it would be nice to get into cruise mode and allow that momentum to create greater success and happiness without much effort on my part. I know this isn’t the reality of the world. Even if it was – that wouldn’t be so good for me – or you. Without taking on

Small and Mighty

I have a hard time “counting” actions that I don’t think are big or important enough. Wow – is that a loaded statement. The way I just set up things – I can’t win . . .ever. I know I am not alone. You may do the same thing. Here’s my pivot on this –

Ultra Compassion in Red

I have a friend, Lynn, whom I am very honored to know. She is bold, funny, and wears red – a lot. She has a strong irreverent side with a deep dose of caring.  Recently, there were a group of us talking about connecting with others and how hard it can be. Then Lynn shared

Build Your Foundation

Foundations are important – from our knowledge to our home – and it’s essential to test and upgrade them. While people do this in many areas of their lives, it’s less common to check in on our foundation of hope, courage, and confidence. Focusing and enhancing your foundation in these areas will make your life
