Those darned resolutions

Over the years I have watched with joy the influx of people just after the new year to the Gym where I work out.  Most come for a week, some stay for a month, but far and away the greatest number of people give up on their resolution of getting in shape, or shedding those […]

Did you get it?

Well, did you get it?  Did you get that something special you hoped was under the tree for you?  Did you get the appreciation for those gifts you lovingly purchased and prepared you hoped to get?  Did Christmas and the events surrounding Christmas Day fill you with joy and wonderful memories? I truly hope you

I want more!

You work hard.  You come through in a pinch.  Your co-workers and upper level management know you can be counted upon to do the right thing.  So how come there is so little joy from your work?  This is not an experience unique to you.  And this feeling is not restricted to people in large firms: the same experience is

Feel the power

Sunday afternoon, instead of writing to you I spent the time with my Communications Director for Choiceful Living Seminars, Elaine, doing the final touches on my forthcoming book “It’s All about Me.” When I say “feel the power” I am thinking of that moment when we pressed the button to upload the book to the publisher.
