On Giving Thanks

There are many people in my life I want to thank, actually everyone I’ve ever been in contact with… because my encounter with you, whether positive or negative, has brought me to where I am today… and that’s a good place! I will reflect more on this past year in a coming post, but [...]

The Low Down on Zero Limits

It has taken a while for me to digest this philosophy, put forth by Joe Vitale and Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, PhD., in Joe’s new book Zero Limits. It discusses the ancient Hawaiian teachings of Ho’oponopono. The gist of Ho’oponopono is that I take responsibility for EVERYTHING in my life. That [...]

Improving Community Resource is a Win-Win

I just recently started using the library again. — I haven’t been there in so long that my old library card was no longer in the system!  The kids were in grade school back when I had a card!
You see I’m reading so much these days, that I couldn’t possibly buy every book [...]

Wealth is defined…

A point to consider when attracting wealth is, that wealth is not always judged in terms of money. Not that there is anything wrong with money, but it should be seen for what it is: energy. What most people are looking for is happiness and that can’t be bought. If [...]

Luck?

Last week 20/20 did a show on Luck. They had many interesting insights. I especially liked the study that showed that optimistic people were more likely to find the $20 bill on the street than pessimistic people. I related the story to my son in NYC this morning.
He has been having a [...]

A Time of Growth

I have been having what I’ll call “growing pains” for a lack of a better description. There have been, and continue to be challenges cropping up for me, but I am choosing to face them head on.
These challenges make me only more aware that my perception is my reality. Likewise, other people have [...]

We Create Our Own Reality

Reality
“Reality is what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is what we believe.
What we believe is based upon our perceptions.
What we perceive depends upon what we look for.
What we look for depends upon what we think.
What we think depends upon what we perceive.
What we perceive determines what we believe.
What we believe [...]

Miracles Happen!

I was just rereading some of my posts from April. I said it would be a miracle if David could stay in NYC after his 2nd semester of school at AMDA was over. There was so much for him to get in order: a job, an apartment, moving his stuff, working on [...]

Infinite Possibilities

This is a shameless plug for the CD set by Mike Dooley. It is an astonishing 12CD set –12 HOURS of Mike Dooley’s wit, wisdom, and “take” on the Universe and life in general. I’m listening to it in my car and loving it these wonderful summer-like days in Michigan! (Thanks to [...]

Turandot at the DOH

We were fortunate enough to be invited to MOT’s dress rehearsal for Turandot this evening. It was delightful! If you are planning to see it you are in for a treat! I just love the beautiful aria in the 3rd act. Don’t know opera? You’ve heard this aria, trust me, [...]
