Monday, August 23rd, 2010

I love TUT’s messages (www.TUT.com). The one this AM had a link to an audio clip. In the audio clip Mike Dooley talks about how  we feel often as if there is something wrong with us. (Yes, that’s me from time to time.) That we feel we are doing something wrong and hit glass walls […]

I’ve decided based on the advice of numerous mentors to write a love letter to the Universe clearly stating my desires. Saying “Yes” to this new path and saying “NO!” to some other opportunities the Universe has deemed I need to respond to.

Opening Yourself to Possibilities Changes Your Life
I recently spoke to a group up in New Hampshire on leadership and we spent quite a bit of the magic that happens when you blend innovative ideas with intelligent risk taking.  We discussed how innovation and critical thinking together create new opportunities. However, the only thing that transforms […]
