Lessons Learned

Most of the time we learn lessons and we have no idea what they were. We adopt practices — habits of the day — without notice. Unless we keep notations …
Lessons Learned updated!
Moving through (when our minds are scattered), managing our days (when we are distracted), pressing on in the direction of our [...]

Journal Every Day

There can be no courage unless you’re scared.
~Eddie Rickenbacker
Being a creative, you must realize about the only two things I do on a daily basis is sleep and eat!
However, my intention is to journal every day — at least in some form. I have a pop-up reminder on my Google Calendar [...]

Focused Kaleidoscope Views

Image Credit (and more kaleidoscope views …)
One of the reasons I have always enjoyed consulting, mentoring and teaching? Coming alongside another person to listen, provide input — and sometimes simply serve as a {dream-scribe} as inspirations flash into view … Well, said roles always produce both bloom (for the client) as well as [...]

Anyone got the time?

In our busyness, we deceive ourselves into believing that we have no time for the activities we enjoy, the goals we dream about — for creativity, for rest … for just plain fun!
It has become my focus to overcoming this malady; and I have been. Albeit, ever-so slow. Slow and steady wins the race! Especially for those [...]

Right Brain Business Journal

This Sunday, I am going with a theme for the potpourri post. The discussions within my accountability groups have this common thread: How do we declutter our schedules and yet maintain the aspects of our days that we enjoy?

Creative Planner

This is the cover of my creative friend’s journal-planner …
A good goal is like a strenuous exercise – it makes you stretch.  ~Mary Kay Ash
Collage journaling — also referred to as scrapbooking, creative journaling, art journals — is my right brain method of planning and pondering the realities of the universe — well, my universe! [...]

You are truly not alone …

For most of my 40+ years, I assumed I lacked some sort of skill or knowledge when it came to organizing my days or implementing order within the randomness of moments of my life.
And I assumed I was the only one …
The only one who faced major piles of clutter or a backlog of To-Do [...]

Opportunity

As with the opening in the beachline fence in this photograph, I have a welcoming opening — an opportunity.
This opportunity is yours, as well.
It is the opening to let go of the shoulds which scream at you — way too often! It is the opportunity to allow the tool of Intention to assist you [...]
