More Than One Way to Look at Things #810 

by Sue Hawkes

A spark ignites an idea. It fans the flame of possibility and refinement follows.  When you create meaningful time for reflection there’s space for what’s present and what could be.  If we keep our heads down doing the work remaining in the weeds, we have no perspective for the horizon.  It’s like looking at the world from the 10th floor…

Keeping Promises #809 

by Sue Hawkes

Following through can feel like a lost art.   It’s a small thing, yet so incredibly important.  We all make casual comments with friends like: “let’s do this again”, or when we meet new people “let’s connect.” Often it doesn’t happen. Our lives are busy, our calendars fill with the events that catch our attention and fill a need, not a…

Interruption To My Every Day #808 

by Sue Hawkes

When the day starts gently, I welcome it with peace.  Waking in warm weather, watching the hues change in the early morning from a cliff facing the ocean, appreciating the people in my world while greeting it all in silence lets me enter the day with grace.  The sunshine works its way above the mountain behind me shifting the day…

Grace Appears #807 

by Sue Hawkes

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…

Spring #806 

by Sue Hawkes

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…

Do the Work #805 

by Sue Hawkes

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. …

How to Calm the Chaos #804 

by Sue Hawkes

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,…

We’re All Connected #801 

by Sue Hawkes

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…
