  • Inspiration By J.K Rowling

    J.K Rowling talks to Harvard graduates about how she felt as a failure during her dark times as a single mom. Rock bottom was the foundation of how she lived her life. She says she had no idea how far the tunnel was and that the light at the end of the tunnel was just a hope. The rest as they say is history.

    This video gave me a burst of inspiration as she talks about using imagination. Listen to the whole thing as it is worth listening to.

  • There Is No Place Like Home

    white-houseIn an essay in the Wall Street Journal yesterday, Joe Queenan focuses on the human foibles of the people we consider heroes. This past month Alex Rodriguez and Michael Phelps had transgressions that surprised us. One of the things that Joe Queenan says so poignantly is that ” these men may have done a great public service….and if you want to send a message to your kids, send it yourself. Don’t expect celebrities to be role models. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123456728548886075.html

    Amen! That is a perfect statement! Kids learn best by example and the people who should serve as the best role models should be the parents or guardians of the children. Many people can serve as inspirational role models outside the home. This is necessary because many homes are broken. The children need hope to see that it is possible to rise above your circumstances. However, a parents biggest responsibility is to rise themselves above their own limitations and naturally be a great mirror for the children they bore.

    Somestimes as adults we become cynical and tired of the negativity that is out there in the world. But in the end there is no place like home. Home is where the true heart is.  And from here is where the next generation can experience and see a better world because they themselves will create it, hopefully.

  • Life is a Gift…Don’t Let Anyone Rob You of It

    The creation of  life is a gift. We have to be able to SEE that any situation no matter how bad and symbolically may feel  is the end of the world and the end of your “current” life as you know it, is just that, a symbol.  They have to be seen  as an end of something so that a new opportunity can emerge. Job loss, divorce, health challenges are all tests to allow us to grow and emerge better and greater. (more…)

  • Leap of Faith and Taking Baby Steps

    baby-toddlerWhat if your destiny is nothing but taking small steps, led by a vision that you have initialized by a leap of faith in your hopes dreams and desires, and you are taken into a reality that becomes your destiny. For me, the word “destiny” or “fate” connotates sometimes something too big and therefore a sense of being unattainable.

     I know that I have taken many steps towards a vision, but sometimes give up hope because the steps seem too much. t’s like stopping at 10,000 steps when the  10001 step was the critical one that takes a quantum turn which then catapults you to your destiny which seemed unfathomable in step 9,999.  It is that leap of faith as you hold on to your vision supported by a love so great from a higher power or God, that I imagine can lead me to what I thought at certain times unattainable.

    I have many big hopes and dreams for a greater life for my son and myself- for a better life and for a vision I have of inspiring children. Maybe I am on step 4999. That trust in a higher power is my fuel to continue all the remaining steps. Little by little, step by step. You never know, maybe step 5001 is that quantum step, or it could be 10001. Who knows.

    But it sure does feel better knowing that I WILL be at a destination – my destiny soon enough, as long as I continue taking those baby
    steps.
