To float or forge?

A time comes for each of us when something does not go according to plan. Working hard or doing all the right things doesn’t grant us immunity. What happens next, is entirely up to us.

There are people who use their event as license to stop trying. It’s as if they got a special pass to float along. There are others who, despite their life altering obstacle, forge ahead. Maybe things don’t look the way you thought at this juncture. If your floating along have compassion and be gentle with yourself. Floating may be a way to replenish the soul and heal. When ready…forge ahead.

Need some inspiration?  Check out the extraordinary Bill Shannon, a.k.a “the crutch master!” You’ll find Crutch under favorite videos. Bill Shannon forged ahead and is SUCH an inspiration to me! I promise he will touch your heart!

“Playing with Barbie”

The weather was sunny with the slightest breeze and I was off to an antique show.  I love antiquing. Treasures. As I approached the last booth, I was suddenly paralyzed by something in the display case.  A 14K gold hook and eye pin that transported me back 35 years into the kitchen of my childho[...]

“In perfect harmony…”

Playing out right before our very eyes, in national news, is a real life situation with “Flip-Kick-Listen-like” techniques being applied. The exact details of what took place aren’t of interest any longer. It happened. Let us instead examine the resolution, the “what now?” In lif[...]

“In order to thrive…”

Sometimes I struggle  before admitting to someone what they’re doing (or not doing) doesn’t work for me.  I envy folks who have rock solid boundaries. Establishing boundaries is like building a new muscle, it requires strength training. Have you ever recalled the scariest movie you’ve ev[...]

Rocky Balboa “It ain’t about how hard you hit…”

Gail Snow Moraski gave me an 8 x 10 photo of Rocky. He had just raced up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, his arms raised in triumph. I cherished it so much, I taped it to the back of my bedroom door. I looked at it each morning before I started my [...][...]
