twins

It is amazing to me that of our children some of them act and look a lot like me and some act and look just like their mother! For the record more of them act like me than their mother - poor lady. Fortunately more of them have her beauty! Even with that said each of them is so different and wonderfully unique in their own way - it is such a blessing to be a parent. I am grateful to have such wonderfully challenging children that teach and inspire me.

jokes

8/30/2014

What did the zero say to the eight? Nice Belt. What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground Beef. I love a simple, goofy joke. These jokes came from elementary school age kids. It doesn't need to be complicated, "adult" or complex, just witty. A light giggle opens the door for a huge smile. Enjoy life, be a little goofy and smile real big.

laws

I. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.

II. The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.

III. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

words

8/27/2014

They can align or alienate, connect or separate, hold power or take power. Words are so intentional the worst thing we can do throw them around carelessly. They may align with places you have never ventured as they are simply a thought put to action. Put words to your thoughts to put power behind them. Consider the clarity of your language choice to gain the impact you are looking for. When you have a break down in communication look at the words you chose and pick up from there. You have the power of heaven and earth in your tongue - ask accordingly.

challenge

Many thanks to the friends that nominated me for the ice bucket challenge. That is something I never would have thought to take part in. It is good to step outside your comfort zone and just enjoy what life brings your way.

the return

8/25/2014

To return to something means you have built something. You can return from a trip to your home. Whether it is an apartment you rent or our winter retreat it is something you are in ownership of for the moment. You took some action to claim ownership of that location for this timeframe. In the same you can return to family members or a favorite location. You may have built a foundation emotionally or in your spirit with these. When you build you can return. You can even explore and have a sense of returning. Come back to what you know within yourself. Bask in what you have built to be able to return to it, and you will see that you were built only to return to yourself. It is all within you. Travel then return and rest until you understand this lesson. The trip need not be far to realize the beauty of what you have inside you at all times.

your network = your net worth

8/24/2014

Imagine your social life if all of your closest friends are incredible, gourmet chefs that enjoy sharing their latest inspired creations with you. What do you think those gatherings would look, taste and smell like? Do you think by nature you'd pick up a few tips and tricks and as a result become a better chef to some degree? What if your circle consisted of athletes and physical trainers? What do you think your body and health would look like? What if you spent quality time with entrepreneurs and savvy investors? Take a close look at the people you give your time to. Once you do that consider the contribution you make to the group. If you chose you can and will grow into what ever you want to be. You can help direct your growth and aid your results by the circle of influence you keep.

the words we use

8/23/2014

No matter what a word means to you, when you use it and another person has an alternate understanding of that word there is a potential for disconnect. Using more words to bridge the gap is one way to gain understanding. It is up to each of you how you will move forward past the emotion the word may have risen. No matter what transpires you cannot ever know how someone will receive the words you express. Take and use care, and be brave enough to have the follow up conversations to gain deeper understanding.

local brew

8/22/2014

Indulge in local fare when you travel. You may see something familiar but it tastes different from what you are accustomed to. Before you pass judgment learn a little about the history of the product, see if there is a local seasoning they are using, and reset your taste buds to simply enjoy the moment.
