Not a Debbie Downer! Over the past six to seven months, during these days of safe distance and working from home we’ve forgotten how to properly communicate. To play nice.

September 17, 2020 Those songs! The tunes we hear while dreaming. They play so vibrantly without skipping like an old fashioned CD. Those songs are endlessly playing and all we’re trying to do is get some sleep. I’m shocked that the music industry hasn’t figured out a way to monetize this connection we have with their beats and lyrics. I’m not talking about streaming on your smart phone or chummin...

I've become the type of person that doesn't want to celebrate a good thing.  It's the fear of potential negatives.  It keeps your gifts and skills from being crafted into the success story you've dedicated your life to.  Gaining courage is what you find in self help books.  Activating courage means becoming the path maker.  Allow the silent steps to be fuel for the imagina...

September 16, 2020 I love being a daily writer. I get to put anything on paper without feeling the pressure of being judged until the thoughts are set free. Kids aren’t the only ones saying the darndest things. If we took more time to listen to those around us we’d be totally entertained and inspired. I laugh incredibly loud when standing inside circles of free form thinkers who aren’t afraid of f...
