Am I the only one that feels like they have a lot more to offer, but doesn’t know exactly what to do to bring things into fruition? Over the past several weeks, I have written several different posts about making a difference, and encouraging people not to feel too small to make a difference. I believe I live that every day. Some days I’m focused on learning and other days I’m more focused on sharing my beliefs. I often engage in...

Have you ever been in a situation where you just know there has to be a change, but you’re not sure how to either make the change yourself, or even contribute to the change? Maybe you’re at work and you can see that the processes that worked a few months or a few years ago aren’t as effective any more. There are lots of stories like that. Companies go through this on a regular basis, and if they don’t improve their...

Do you think you’re the same person you were a year ago? Do you know what your current comfort zone is? Do you ever step outside of it? (Psst, there’s a test at the end of this article.

Am I living my life with purpose or am I so busy doing stuff that I’m not even sure if I know what my purpose is? Am I busy doing, or am I simply being? I read a book recently by Lance Secretan (he’s acknowledged as one of the most...

 Is there a connection between forgiveness and true healing? I had the strangest thing happen to me last week. A very, very dear friend called me to tell me that she had been thinking of me and two words came to her mind (there were actually four words, but bear with me on that for a bit). The two words were “healing” and “forgiveness”, and she told me that she saw them as connected. Well as someone on a journey of healing, she...

Do you wake up and think you can make a difference in the world? Or do you think you’re too small to make a difference? I’m reminded of the Margaret Mead quote that I’ve shared several times and have seen many other folks share as well. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” ― Margaret Mead I have been inspired by many people over the...
