No Opting Out #101

by Sue Hawkes

No Opting Out #101 As you know, I began this blogging journey at the suggestion of Seth Godin in his blog. I am reflecting on my learning and observations every 50 posts to record my own musings along the way. (Please see blogs 50 and 100 if you’re curious). Last week, Seth posted another wonderful 2 x 4 to the…

I’ve been at it since February. He’s said when you reach 200 or so, you’re glad you did it. Well, I’ve had many moments of that experience…

Depending on What you Focus On #99

by Sue Hawkes

Depending on What you Focus On #99 My friend Cindy is a master gardener. I am not. I appreciate great landscaping, though I don’t find it gratifying to do the maintenance, nor do I have the vision for the outdoors in the way she does. When we moved into a home with land, I had no real idea what was…

Will You Hang in There? #98

by Sue Hawkes

Will You Hang in There? #98 Puzzles. They are great activities if you want time together with opportunity to laugh, talk or sit in silence working while being together. People love or hate them. I love them. We found a particularly difficult puzzle while in Iceland, and are as a family challenged to complete it. Too many pieces fit together…

You Can Stay Home for That #97

by Sue Hawkes

You Can Stay Home for That #97 Today was a wonderful, unique surprise. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, we’re doing a family vacation with a smorgasbord of events we’ve chosen from each of our family member’s lists. With our daily event(s), we also include lake time and relaxation. With a forecast of rain almost daily (☹), this may be…

A Skill We All Need to Master #96

by Sue Hawkes

A Skill We All Need to Master #96 We’re on a staycation with family this week. It’s terrific. Our process to create the week and events we’ll attend has been as fun as the beginning of the fun. We are grateful to have lake fun every day, but beyond that we wanted to create an experience with memories we’d cherish.…

Living in Between #95

by Sue Hawkes

Living in Between #95 It’s challenging (HELL) to be in limbo. I struggle with it. There is no “there.” Life keeps happening and there are infinite twists, turns and unexpected opportunities. I don’t like that. I’m a control freak. I like to believe I am in charge and can set the course of all that is to happen. Wrong. I…

The Only Thing Between You and Bliss #94

by Sue Hawkes

The Only Thing Between You and Bliss #94 When things change it opens the space. Space in your mind, your environment, your beliefs and your possibilities. You can focus on what you’re losing, what’s going away, how “hard” it will be or what you don’t like about the changes. You can also focus on what you’re gaining, what’s emerging, how…

Not Today #93

by Sue Hawkes

Not Today #93 When you get clear on things you say “yess” and “no” better. Historically, I’ve not been good at saying “no.” My company is named “YESS!” which explains a lot. It’s been an issue. The good news is, I have a great team who strongly suggested I learn to say “no” more frequently as a commitment. You see,…

Visionaries Get a Bad Rap #92

by Sue Hawkes

Visionaries Get a Bad Rap #92 Visionaries get a bad rap. On one hand, they are hyper focused at times and then also appear scattered and unfocused. They don’t follow through – except when and where it counts. They are great starters, not always great finishers. They are inspirational, influential, and intense. They are the people who can find the…
