Goal/Resolution Overload?
A friend of mine invited friends over for an anti-aging social. After mingling over refreshments for a bit, we sat and listened to some tips from a local acupuncturist.
One of the tips was on tapping. She said it would help us avoid the need for botox for another couple of years. All we needed to do was tap for 10-15 minutes each day. Sounded reasonable to me. I was willing.
When it was over, Laura and I walked out together and she said, “Now just WHEN are we supposed to do all of this?” Read more

You are great! Feel the relief!
One of the quotes we featured for the start of a new year was:
“Take a moment to stop and think about what you give to the people and life around you. Don’t think about what you are not doing right. Look at all you do that is a blessing.

Now open to the possibility that this is not a daydream. It’s true! Believe it!”
John and Patrice Robson

Lots of take charge, make it happen leaders are so busy making these choices and helping their teammates do the same, that they don’t stop to think about who they are being. Read more
10 Revelations for Leaders
Art and I were in New York last week. On New Year’s Day, we had the opportunity to see “Revelations“, a dance choreographed by Alvin Ailey 50 years ago.
