Travel has been difficult lately. I’ve been in the air quite heavily lately and to say it’s challenging is an understatement. Nothing on time, broken plane parts in abundance, lack of crew and staff. All of this leads to a domino effect for work and plans – sleep is often a tradeoff for the delays. It’s an inconvenience, nothing like…
It’s coming. I’m talking about Spring. All the smells, the melting, the greening up of the world and the refreshing longer periods of light. It renews my spirit, instills hope, and teases me that winter is coming to an end. It’s not time yet, but the warmer days signal its return. We will turn the corner and the world will…
Don’t complain about the results you don’t have from the work you’ve not done. It’s easy to look online or compare yourself to others and wish for different results. If you haven’t done the reps, had the discipline or ascribed to the thinking, practices and discipline those you see or know do, it’s unfair to expect the return they have. …
What’s your focus? It’s such a critical question. Yet we all go forward doing many tasks, often without a cohesive thread or a wide angle, macro lens on all the busyness we’re up to. When we “spray and pray,” we often miss the most significant things, focus on superficial tasks and lose momentum because we’re spread too thin. Step back,…
When you have a solid team it’s a game changer. No matter how challenging the circumstances become, partnering with people you love, trust, and share values with is what ultimately gets you through the toughest times in life. Knowing you are aligned in the struggles and celebrations together changes the landscape of possibilities. When we come together, we unlock our…
Beautiful friend, you were amazing, wise, thoughtful, caring and made everyone around you feel seen. A force for good in this world and an amazing friend to all who had the pleasure of spending time with her. To know Mahtab was to be touched by significance. She created space for all, lived her word and had a wicked sense of…
When it’s all said and done, we’re all connected. Whether it’s the pain of what’s happening in the Ukraine, the coincidences that occur every day that we’re present to (or not), or the chaos of our world, the common denominator is people. People who at a fundamental level want to contribute, make a difference, and know what they do each…
Blog 800… YAY! For those of you playing along, I check in every 50 posts to take a macro look and document what I’m learning through this process of writing 1,000 blogs. I took Seth Godin’s challenge from this blog post and am grateful I did, I agree with him, the first 1,000 are the most difficult. In fact, I took this…
We’re reading a challenging book in our book study right now. Though we’re only two weeks into it, I’m lost. I’m realizing the author has an incredible command of the English language, which means I need a dictionary handy when reading. The more I look up the words, the more frustrated I become. Knowing I’m reading to learn and study…
When you feel defeated, everything takes longer. How do you wrangle in your thinking to find the goodness and possibility when it seems things outside your control continue to erode? It requires looking at where you’ve been, reconsidering what’s possible and creating space to think about what’s occurring from another angle, a different perspective and with a different attitude.
