What got you here?
What got you here? Is it working for you? Get off your pedestal. Don’t be afraid to fall. Be vulnerable. Fail. And fail forward. But move! Embrace risk-taking and failure. What is holding you back? Is it fear? Everything you want is on the other side of fear. The opposite of fear is love. Choose […]
“You fill my bucket.”
Recently, on one of the worst days I have had in years, I had a friend say to me, “You fill my bucket.” This made me feel good when she spoke them to me, and they couldn’t have come at a better time. My interpretation of her words was simply that I matter in her […]

What did you do to make someone happy today? What did someone do to make you happy today? What did YOU do to make yourself happy today? It is inefficient to spend time blaming others for your unhappiness. Instead, utilize that energy to create your own joy. Grab a hold of life and own that […]
Robert Fulghum
I read words by Robert Fulghum back in 1991, and although it has been 28 years, the significance has lived within me.
