1. “Coming Up For Air”

    I am breaking through the surface

    Driven solely by purpose

    I am soaring to brave new heights

    Feel like it is written in the stars

    I can feel myself on fire

    The heat is intensifying

    I am only looking upward

    Swimming up from down below

    I am lifted by my calling

    Without any fear of falling

    I have saved myself from drowning

    By following my heart

    I am building up momentum

    My pulse is quickening

    I have learned how to let go

    No longer feeling breathless

    I am coming up for air

  2. “Unstoppable”



    I’m as unstoppable as the wind

    Like the forces that burn beneath my skin

    The relentless pounding of my drums is unbeatable

    Like an army of horses that has been undefeatable

    My drive is bulletproof, making me feel invincible

    Like a magic spirit who soars on principle

    I cannot be contained by my flesh and blood

    Like the surging river waters in a raging flood

    My love runs relentlessly over without a cure

    Like a dream who’s certainty is already sure

  3. The Business of You: “Putting It Together” (part 5)

    There comes a time when we must walk the walk, pulling together all the pieces we have gathered. In “Baby Steps” we discussed the importance of time, practice,and patience.  In “Who Are You” we explored self awareness, purpose, and creating change.  Sharing our unique selves and finding our calling were addressed in “Inside Out.”  And in “What Rocks Your World” we engaged in those life changing moments that make us feel so alive and stimulated.

    It is the understanding of these many aspects of ourselves, the people in our lives, and the world around us that will ultimately lead us to discovery.  Discovering that at every moment in our lives the opportunity for change exists.  That opportunity dwells somewhere inside.  We need to understand how to tap into it and use it for creating change.  Real change…not just imagined.  We need to move from talking about the things we want to do, to actually doing them.

    Putting our dreams into action means reaching inside, tapping into what we love do.  Finding that special something that makes us feel so alive.  And acting upon it!  We should begin by writing down all of our interests, skills, talents, areas of expertise, dreams, and goals.  Just a simple list without judgment as to where, why, or how any of these may fit into our lives.

    By simply writing the list we have put all of our earlier discovery work, into action.  This action will take shape as we move the list into some kind of organization. 

    The process of organization will start to bring your future into focus.  For you will begin to see that the creation of change really can take shape.

    Step by step, we are walking the walk…

    At this point in the process we have already changed..

    Because we are “Putting It Together!”

  4. Alphabet Soup: K is for Knowledge

    Through education we are exposed to information. Experiences tend to expose us to facts………the facts of life! As we gain more knowledge our awareness and skills of that particular field increases.  Increased awareness means greater opportunities.  The opportunity to use our skills to help improve the lives of others. 

    Throughout everyday we all use many different services.  We rely on services and service oriented products in almost every single transaction we make.  Technology.  Transportation. Communication. Health and beauty.  And so on!

    Pioneers blaze trails by combining their boldness, determination, vision, and experience. They use their knowledge to find opportunities that have the greatest potential.  Sometimes things that seem to be common knowledge  can be turned into a huge business  by an intelligent person. 

    Seek knowledge at every opportunity.  Study in schools.  Learn from life.  Absorb information like a sponge.  Find problems.  Seek solutions.

    Pay attention to your surroundings.  Look around! Listen with intent!! Learn always!!

    Change the course of your life….Lean forward into it!!!

  5. Alphabet Soup: G is for Growth

    Everything must change. The young become the old. The journey of our lives will unfold. As the cold winter drifts away, the winds of change are heading our way. The arrival  of spring reminds us each year of the newness and freshness of new growth.  It is a time when our senses are filled with the sights of blossoming bushes and the bursting colors  of spring bulbs. The fresh scents of all this new growth.  The sounds and songs of birds returns again. The annual cycle comes around once more.

    Our lives are busy, filled with so many daily distractions.  We live in a world of endless information and complexity.  Children are born into a world where they are taken care of constantly.  Their physical growth happens before our very eyes. Turn around for a moment, and they are all grown up it seems.  They have become young adults,  growing ever so swiftly towards adulthood. Just as a planted garden springs suddenly skyward from the ground below.

    We emerge as adults, perhaps facing the world for the first time. What should I do?  Where should I go?  How do  I find my purpose?  Do I fit in?

    We should do what we love. Paying attention to all the signs along the way is key. Discover your passions! Unlock your talents! Share the most unique gifts you own with the world.  You are the only “you ” there will ever be. A unique and special being filled with unlimited potential. The power of you.

    So, go where your heart goes, sharing all you know  about life, about love, and about yourself!

    The beauty of you fits in perfectly against the clear blue sky. Take that leap.  Open up your wings and fly. Fly!
