“Mardi, you are spending too much of your time focused on “what isn’t” and way too little time & energy appreciating ‘what is’ – you know, all that you are and all that you have.” This thought popped into my mind one night — I’d recently been thinking of writing a blog about gratitude. This…
Read MoreAre You Satisfied?

Read MoreDo You Have Destination Addiction?
Just keep your eye on the prize! What are your goals for this year? How about — I want to lose 10 pounds by Christmas? I need to sell 20 houses this year. Or, I have to make $100,000 this year. Our lists of goals and destinations are endless.. We are a goal fixated society,…

Being that tomorrow is a day of celebrating the Independence of the United States in 1776, it just seems fitting to spend a few moments thinking about Personal Independence.

Read MoreAre You Pre-paving a Smooth Road?
They’re putting down new pavement on Scottsdale Road in front of my community – what a mess at first as they roughed it up to get rid of all the old bumps and cracks in the pavement. Now, it is smooth and quiet – a total joy to drive on it. Isn’t that just…

When I wrote last week’s blog about Comparing and Should-ing, I knew there was a Paul Harvey. . . the rest of the story moment that is so rich it needed to be a stand alone blog. It’s all about how we relate and communicate with each other. I’m calling it the comparison syndrome. We all…
