Your Music Will Flow as You Trust and Let Go.
I’ve always loved to sing. As a matter of fact, I’ve been a vocalist most all my life… not the best mind you, but I’ve never needed to be the best. All I ever wanted was for the music to flow from my heart… in tune. I figured I could take it from there. I’m […]
Lose the Weight, Not the Menu… Keep the Change!
I saw a friend the other day I hadn’t seen for a while. Something about her was different… subtle, but different. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but boy, did she look great! After a few minutes, it finally dawned on me that she had lost a few pounds. Wow… it’s hard to […]
Dreams to Reality? Just Listen.
Let your conscience be your guide…. a sound piece of advice immortalized by Walt Disney’s Jiminy Cricket, used in mentoring his good friend, Pinocchio. What a clever way of teaching children right from wrong. The man was brilliant on so many levels. Conscience according to Webster: The part of your mind that makes you aware […]
What I’ve Learned From Having Malignant Melanoma… Twice.

It Feels Good To Be Happy.
Which statement rings truer for you? 1) Feeling good makes me happy. 2) Being happy makes me feel good. At first glance, I felt the two were reciprocal, but after thinking it through, I discovered a missing link. When I’m feeling good, happiness abounds… joy arises in everything I see and do. Many everyday problems […]
Wouldn’t You Just Love… To Get Lost In The Moment?
Consider the following: • Children at play • A teenager… or the young at heart, jamming at a rock concert • A fan at a sporting event • A couple holding hands, walking down the beach, enjoying a full moon • Mother Teresa helping the poor and destitute • An athlete running a marathon • […]
You Want to Be Happy? You Better Believe It!
I spend a good amount of time pondering human nature and how we think… what motivates us… what makes us tick? One thing is for sure… we all share a common desire to be happy. Although most of us have a pretty good idea of what turns us on, very few have really figured out […]
Pessimism Has an Antidote… Take Your Medicine
I lost my dad to cancer when I was a young boy. Consequently, during those early years, I wasted much of my time brooding and feeling sorry for myself… as if that were going to make life easier. What a joke. On the contrary… it just made everything worse. For the next five years or […]
