To be serious about anything, you’ve got to get the best set of tools you can get your hands on. Tools are not just for handymen. Superheroes are even more super because they have a perfect gadget for the job. Superman had an indestructible cape that offered him use of a pocket, carried a disguise, and always wore his mighty S shield. Wonder woman had special bracelets, a belt that contained a miracle metal which enabled her to deflect bullets with her wrists, and a golden lasso that wrangled her opposition.   Now, y ou may or not may be a superhero.  Either way, tools empower everyone.  What’s important is that you have the tools that are right for you . It can be very reenergizing to set your self up nicely for your next work session.

Take some time to check in on the tools you use. ...

Most of us get hundreds of emails per day.  It is very easy for messages to get lost in the shuffle.  How can you stay on top of so much information without being overwhelmed, missing important deadlines, or losing key details?  It is actually very simple.  It just requires a technique to organize the information so that what you need is where you can easily find it when you need it.   Clean Your Inbox First of all, you must commit to only keep items that require action in your inbox .  For those of you that have 15,000 old emails in your inbox, this can sound like the last thing on Earth you want to do.  Hear me out.    Start with taking all of those old emails and putting them into a folder called “Pre-2013” for example.  Move EVERYTHING into that folder.  There you go.  You’ve got a clean inbox.    Sort Incoming Emails for Efficiency Now, for all future incoming emails, re...

Gratitude is the easiest way to really be happy. We’ve been taught this so much that we don’t value it anymore. However, giving thanks not only improves your living, it heals feelings, and allows joy to be a regular force in your life. Sure it sounds easy. But so many of us are numb to the feeling of being thankful. We take for granted the soft pillow that comforts our head and the clean water we have for a bath. Small things - sure, yet huge conveniences and benefits. We’d definitely notice if they were gone! Not until my own personal experience with this lesson, did I know it so well myself. About a year ago my mom’s house was in one of the California wildfire areas. She got her favorite items and animals and evacuated her home. The firemen decided it was too dangerous to protect the canyon where her home is. They let the fire go free in the whole canyon. My mom was devastated. I was stuck at work and longed to be there to support her...

This Easter I reached a whole new realization about what the holiday represents.  Christ rose to the occasion, every time.  He broke limits - even beyond death!  Death was the most unescapable thing in life, yet he did it. Whatever your beliefs, what this represents is amazing!  I love the value of this message.  It reminds me of some of my own hard earned lessons. Have Faith and Trust.  Have you figured it out yet that everything works for your greatest good? Reach for the moon!  Even if you miss, you will land amongst the stars.  (Love that saying!) Always keep one foot out of your comfort zone.   Those that accomplish great goals consistently expand their mindset.   So many of us have stern limits guarded with iron walls that trap us in a comfort zone... because we like to feel safe and comfortable.  Comfortable is boring.  Stick at least one foot out. :) Where are you stagnant?  Where do you want to be? ...

“Reach for the stars.  If you fall, you’ll land on the clouds.” The laws of attraction prove that you attract whatever it is that you invest your energy into.   So basically if you think from a place of lack, you experience lack.   If you spend a lot of time worrying about things that won’t work, things won’t work.   If you instead focus your energy and attention on what you want to have – as if you already have it – you attract it to happen.   Rather than focusing on what you fear or feeling like you’re “so close” to having what you want, you have got to feel that you have it already and act as if it is true right now.   As you do this, things fall into place in miraculous ways.   We’ve all experienced glimpses of it.   Some of us experience it daily.   Honestly, w e can’t even perceive the infinite ways the universe can give us something that we want.   Why limit our avenues of reception by attempting to perceive that we kno...

This week I approach a big "battle" of life... I have a few challenges (that are bigger than I'd prefer to have) lined up.  Several key triggers are in place.  Here comes the wave!! However, with the experience and foundation I have acquired throughout my journey, I recognize that this is a grand opportunity.  A divine dance ready to play out.... With all the hard work I've got under my Wonder-Woman-style magical (and invisible) belt, I can do this!  I have the faith to own the challenge and the humbleness to get back up and dust myself off if I don't quite succeed as envisioned.  Either way I'm going for it and will do my best.  And I'll grow because of that. So here's the battle plan: 1.   Be Ready and Connect.  Each morning start with a "Me Ritual" in which I shower, put on some music, cleanse off my charges and limited thinking, connect with God and fill my cup, and be READY to rock the day.  I enter the state of being in which the ...
