• Buying Your Own Excuses

  I have a friend that is always using the excuse: “I can’t afford that” to ward of sales people. After a number of years I have watched her strive to build her business up and boost her revenue. She sends out newsletter and offers specials and she is a real go getter when it comes to her marketing. But every time we talk about taking a trip or meeting her at a convention or doing something special she says: “Oh, [...]

• Life, Liberty and Gratitude

  I received and email today. It was very disturbing. I am afraid as a country we have forgotten our roots and what, who we are and what America stands for. What The United States of America has always stood for: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, right? Here is the email I received that made me wonder if folks have forgotten what we are supposed to be about: Subject: “Hmmmmm, I Guess I Just Don’t Understand” Message: Let me [...]

• Relationships… Flies… Bees… Honey… Vinegar

  Relationships and how to get what you want from them… it is such an easy thing, why do we struggle? How do you go about getting the joy you want from the person you are with seems to allude so many but yet our culture and language is rich in cololquialisms and idioms that tell us exactly what we need to do. How many times have you heard the following: You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Birds [...]

• After 6 Weeks in Australia

  Australia is so spectacular and now in Shark Bay, it is also very remote. This beautiful land inhabited by these rugged peoples with such different ways and mannerisms. I am falling in love with the land, the animals and the people of Australia that call themselves Aussies. I can see the wildness of Australia in their eyes. I can almost touch the vast stretches of empty ocean that have almost kept them isolated from the rest of the western world [...]

• A Little Drop of Water – Does Matter

  A drop of water was born. It was told that its destiny was to form a mighty obelisk. Of course being a newborn droplet of water, it had no idea what a mighty obelisk was, but it was excited to know it had a destiny. The drop of water mixed with other waters. Together they tumbled over rocks and frolicked gently through a mountain meadow. They merged with other waters stormed down a canyon and over a large cliff where [...]

• Bus Stop

  Sitting on the bus to Geraldton I looked out the window as we stopped at the last stop in Perth and I saw a matronly woman in her sixties with two kids standing just outside of my window on the bus – a young girl of 11 and a boy about 13. The girl was sobbing convulsively as she looked longingly into the window of a seat, 3 rows up from where I was sitting. I looked down the rows [...]

• If You Have To Sell It… It Can’t Be That Good

  I think we will reach a place in the near future that if it isn’t free, it has no value. Take Wikipedia. Totally free to the consumer, made by volunteers. Paid for by traffic – traffic begets sponsors. Who would use Wikipedia if it weren’t any good? If you paid for it you would cover your ass by saying all the things that made you buy it as your justification for spending money on it. However if it is free [...]

• Creating My Life

  My creating caught up with my knowing, Now I am living in a future I created on purpose. For years I created my life by accident, stumbling around in dark moments of ignorance. Then I began to create my life on purpose. At first I tried to will everything into being. I read and studied voraciously, starved for knowledge, hungry for answers. I was focused on sales. I was focused on career. I was focused on making something of myself, [...]

• Synaptic Relationships – Thinking by Choice

  “My thoughts were stitched into the fabric of my emotions until the synaptic relationship to my feelings had dyed the tapestry of my life the bright red color of fear.” ~Rusty Cline~ My thoughts are the threads of the tapestry of my life. I manifest my life with my thoughts. Without my thoughts I am a comatose vegetable with no manifest reality. Every thought to which I attach a personal emotion or desire becomes a stitch in my tapestry. I [...]

• There is a Crack

  There is a crack in everything that is how the light gets in ~ Leonard Cohen~ Anthem I went to see Leonard Cohen in concert April 5th, 2009 in Phoenix, AZ. Wow! What a concert. I aspire to be like that someday. He is 75 years old and as spry as a chick. He was skipping around on stage like he was 20. His humility and giving was surpassed only by the dependability of his lyric, word and wit delivered [...]
