One Decision Away
Yesterday, I was researching a limiting belief exercise. The one I liked most was quite good. We were asked to finish this sentence, "I can't become rich because...". The instructor could have given us any sentence to finish, but this was the one we were tasked with...
Let It Be As It May
I joined my daughter at Hot Yoga again last night—I know I told you how terrible it was last time, but I decided to give it a second chance. The instructor started the class by asking us what one word we would like to choose for why we come to yoga. She said her word...

Motivational Monday
We had the distinct pleasure of witnessing my nephew married his long-time girlfriend this weekend in South Jersey. The marriage was in their local church and the priest was really incredible in making the wedding very personal. He had asked the bride and groom,...

"All situations are emotionally neutral, we can decide how we feel about any given situation." Unknown When I read this I had to go back and reread it! "All situations are emotionally neutral." Wow, I could probably stop here and let us all chew on this for the...
“I’d Like To Thank…”
And the luggage saga comes to an end—Doug's luggage finally arrived yesterday—10 days after it was first put on the United flight in Boston Logan International Airport. This was no small feat. We received a random phone call early Monday morning, 12:30...
