Change is Inevitable

Italian Alders beginning to lose their leaves

“Change is inevitable” they say, and a good thing too. We don’t always want OR need things to stay the same. It might be great when “what is” IS great, but when the chips are down change can also be a very welcome thing!

The Anxiety of Choice

Doors in a Hallway

The skill of choice is something I’ve had to work on (and continue to work on) a lot throughout my life. Those who know me best will tell you I am incredibly indecisive. Picking simple things like what to eat for dinner or what movie to watch are often particularly a struggle. More often than not I will end up making a list of appealing options and offering it to the other person. I would like to think it is because …

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

Jennifer Hale was a special guest teacher in Steve Blum’s Live Teaching Series class recently. WOW! She is a powerful representation of goodness and light! Not only is she an award-winning actress, successful businesswoman, published singer and songwriter (the list goes on and on), but she’s also passionately interested in helping you become the best version of yourself! I could gush for a while about Jennifer Hale’s brilliance and intense caring, though I’ll instead focus on …

Right Where You Are is Ok

People have lost their businesses. Many lost their jobs, their sources of income, their loved ones. Whether it was due to the virus or the aftermath of months of lockdown and distancing, the social animal that is the human has had to become anything but that, and that hasn’t gone so well for a lot of us…

Why Take a Risk?

I sit at my desk in my home office 40+ hours a week and haven’t found anything stimulating or inspiring to write about. I’ve spent the better part of a year interacting with people only on zoom and binge-watching old re-runs on TV. (I’m on the last season of Deep Space 9 at the moment). Then a surprise: Last night (March 16) I was invited to watch a …

Respect is Both a Noun and a Verb

Respect- Handshake with Evening City Background

It is not simply a (fantastic and iconic) song by Aretha Franklin or something to instill in school children as they learn to play peacefully with others.  Respect is something you earn, something you have, something you do and show.  Feeling it for someone or something is great but showing it is so much more meaningful…

Take Time to Slow Down

Take Time to Slow Down- Image of a Graffiti Rose

For many people, it’s common to stay busy – to chase a never-ending list of “things to do”, but if we continue to move too fast without rest, we eventually become mostly reactionary versus reflective in our thoughts and actions. This can cause not only awkward mistakes, extra complexity in tasks, and misunderstandings in communication, though it can also impact our general well-being. It might seem counterproductive but slowing down can help you to be more successful. Yet …
