How are you decorating your life?

Posted by

Morning Motivation   Instead of thinking you shouldn’t or you can’t or it’s not appropriate to get creative in your life, decide there are absolutely no limits!  Your life is your tree to decorate however and with whatever that brings you the most joy, brings out the best in you and shares your uniqueness with the world.  Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks.  Don’t worry about matching.  Don’t worry about fitting in.  If the combinations you see in your imagination don’t exist, create them.  Be audacious in your decorating!  It’s your life.  Decorate it. Be audacious. Create your life’s decorations. What are you going to create?    ...

Day 240:  Monday Goodness!

Day 240. Oh, you know how I love Mondays! I woke up from a dream this morning about how to design the Declare Your Dream Discussion and Workshop invitation.  I love it when I dream something I can actually create! So, it’s 6:07am.  I’m raring and ready to go.  I hope you are too.  Do you have a plan for the day?  A goal?  I saw this awesome Napoleon Hill quote on Twitter yesterday, “A goal is a dream with a deadline.”  Love that.  What are your goals for today?  What are you going to create?  Health?  A piece of art?  A new idea?  Confidence?  Writing?  A movie?  Peace?  I know you can do it!  Whatever it is! Me, I’m going to first create a...

Day 239:  Busy, busy!

Day 239. Intensely busy weekend!  But good! I’m very excited to report that the official first draft of The Botox Party is done!  Screenwriter Cindy knocked it out of the park.  I’m thrilled.  I just pressed send on an email to an associate who is interested in being involved in getting the film made.  I can’t wait for them to read the script.  Woo hoo! I’m officially caught up on my to-do list for the new venture.  Thank god!  Granted, it’s already been filled with another ridiculously long list of new stuff.  But hey, I’m excited about it all. Things are moving forward with the travel column, slowly but surely.  I’m very excited about it.  Realistically, I think we’ll...

What are you creating?

Posted by

Morning Motivation   Every moment of every minute of every day through every thought, intention, word, and action we are creating our lives.  What are you creating?  Is it what you dream of?  Is it what you hope for?  Is it what you aspire to be?  Don’t just think.  Don’t just set intention.  Don’t just talk.  Don’t just dream.  Don’t just imagine.  Don’t just hope.  Do them all while channeling them into concrete and focused actions!  Take one small step forward towards what you want to create every day, whatever it is that you want to create, and you’ll be that much closer to it.  There is no easy, magical, imaginary path.  You must create the life you want...

Are you reaching for a new peak?

Posted by

Morning Motivation   No matter where you are in life—how high or how low—you have three choices:  go higher, go lower, or stay in the same place.  Choose higher!  Look up!  Look forward!  Keep reaching!  Instead of sliding backwards, instead of stopping, instead of giving up, choose to keep going.  Choose to keep moving forward.  Choose to keep reaching.  Keep creating to reach a new peak.  Keep creating to find a new peak.  Keep creating beyond what you think your peak is.  Create from wherever you are with whatever you have right now and keep reaching for a new peak. Keep going up. Keep going forward. Keep going for a new peak. Create from wherever you are....

Day 238: Why I Still Love Twitter

Day 238:  Why I Still Love Twitter

Day 238.  I know, I know, enough about Twitter already!  But hear me out.  I think I passed the “in-love” stage, survived the “addicted” stage, got over the “I’m over it” stage and have reached a nice balance and appreciation for the service.  Here’s the service it provides me:  a source of motivation and expansion!  Both personally and professionally.  It’s like having inspiration, motivation and creativity at my fingertips from all across the globe.  Unlike Facebook, which is all about being “friends” with a small group of people who you are, ideally, actually friends with–well, that’s what it is to me.  I’m still trying to figure out the point and...

Is the grass really greener?

Posted by

Morning Motivation   The grass only looks greener on the other side of the fence because you aren’t paying attention to your own side!  Instead of putting your focus on other people’s success, relationships and lives put your focus on your success, your relationships, and your dreams!  Stop competing.  Stop comparing.  Start seeing the potential of your life.  Get busy creating from what you have—your own green grass to make greener. Don’t compete. Don’t compare. Look at what you have. See the potential. Create from it. What are you going to create?    ...

Day 237: Another Dream Bonanza!

Day 237:  Another Dream Bonanza!

Day 237.  It’s that time again.  Two weeks since my last visit to the PO Box!  I was supposed to stop by after my notes meeting with Screenwriter Cindy—which went fabulously by the way—and I totally spaced.  I was on the phone with Aunt Wanda on my drive home and she shared some very upsetting news about a cousin’s health.  I got completely thrown off.  I came right home.  After a couple hours of phone calls and the sleuthing help of Eye Doc Sis, I got good news that my cousin’s prognosis is positive.  Whew. After a late lunch with Uh-Mazing Romantic Partner to calm my nerves, we stop by the Post Office.  “Don’t be sad if there aren’t any new dreams in there today,” he...

Can you give more to your dreams?

Posted by

Morning Motivation   Start giving your dreams more—more energy, more time, more belief, more action.  Instead of thinking you’re too busy or too poor or too old or too young or too average or too unworthy to create your dreams start thinking you’re exactly who you need to be and that you have exactly what you need to create them!  Thinking about your dream is the first step but you have to give your dream more than your thoughts.  You have to give it your time, effort and action.  Do something towards manifesting and living your dreams every day!  Start giving more to your dreams. Begin creating them from what you have right now. Give more to your dreams. They...
