To all our highly valued clients and acquaintances:
Sometimes I wonder if I have more blind spots than there are stars in the sky. Not that there is anything wrong with that? Not the way I want to live.
In today’s world, I find myself in a somewhat constant state of being with the unknown, in a state of curiosity, fascination, discovery and wonder.
In recent months, I think we all have experienced insane unpredictability.
From people that I get to live and work with, we find unexpected surprises:
- Shocking loss, seemingly out of the blue, in life & deadly medical news.
- A multi-media environment that keeps their panicky news feeds on boil.
- Political environments at levels of confused crazy that I never imagined.
- The insecurity, stress and fear coming from the loss of an income or job.
Of course, this list could go on and on. My question is how to be and do our best in the face of whatever, continue to grow and progress, for fulfillment?
No one alive is exempt from these inescapably equalizing conditions.
For me, it highlights the importance of clearly defining our core values, authentic connection with other people with empathy and real respect.
How best to get and keep ourselves empowered regardless of turbulence?
I find that I must often stop to replenish and to restore my personal power.
That may be through various forms of spirituality, art and/or community. It may be time in nature, time meditating and journaling, time with friends, time to think and freshly get priorities straight, time to simplify and let the stress unwind, time to listen to music, time to reflect, time to get rest, etc.
Create Your Way of Being as a “Happy Place” for you to come from.
What will be Your Way of Being? Based upon your core values, what habits are you looking to master to the point where you can’t not live that way?
I’ve Got a Talking Stick – means you talk and I listen.
My “listening tour” will be continuing into September. Given our relationship, what would you most like to talk about and what would serve you best? Are you betting on yourself and creatively progressing in the face of any odds?
I’m in the business of helping people get what they want for their reasons.
I strive to ask good questions and then just carefully listen. For example:
Tell me something good that’s happening in your world today?
Feel free to contact me. Until next time – best to you. At your service.

PS – on a final note, here are a few words that I always like to remember.
LIFE IN ABUNDANCE COMES ONLY THROUGH GREAT LOVE
Without love, your life will echo with emptiness. With it, your life vibrates warmth and meaning. Even during times of hardship, love always shines through. There is no force more potent than love. Take away love and your earth is a tomb.
If you have it, you don’t need to have anything else, and if you don’t have it, it doesn’t much matter what else you have. As you look back upon the events in your life you will find that the moments that stand out, the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love.
Therefore, search for love. Once you have learned to love,
you’ll have learned to live.
Love is the most important ingredient of your success.
