3 questions to ask yourself to empower your life!

“The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask” – Anthony Robbins What questions do you ask yourself? Are they questions like: Why did this have to happen to me? Why does nothing good ever come my way? What is wrong with me? Questions like these elicit responses that […]

Mind Your Own Business

Focus on your own abundance, your own dreams, the reality you are creating. Don’t focus on others – wondering how they can afford, what they have, how they spend their money, how they live their lives. That is their business. When you focus on others, you are dispersing energy on things that do not serve […]

Do IT Now

I struggle with procrastination.  It is a lifelong habit that I have been determined to break.  But as the years pass, I have mellowed a bit and have come to accept procrastination as part of who I am.  Having accepted, I am now free to notice.  And I notice that it’s not everything that I […]

HOW DO YOU HAVE JOY AT WORK WHEN YOU HAVE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS?

The recent collapse of a building in Bangladesh that housed a number of garment factories, and which resulted in the loss of life of over 1,100 people has horrified me. Entire families have been devastated at the altar of capitalism. Yes, they badly need the jobs, which is why so many of them went to […]

All hail door closers!

When someone closes the door on you, remember that they are still in the room from which you are now free. Today, thank all those who have closed the door in your face or behind you – they have kept you out of their own jail. You are now free to enter new spaces, to […]

Plenty-nine

How old is “plenty-nine”? A few days ago, my dear friend Debby celebrated her ninetieth birthday. Her party yesterday was one of those events where love abounded in infinite amounts and joy reigned gloriously. I felt blessed and honoured to be counted among the specially invited – nothing could have kept me away – I […]

Upset = Set Up

I love to play with words. Whenever I discover a new word, or contemplate an old one for a blog, I first head to the etymology of the word. I check the root which is often Latin and which I studied in high school. But sometimes I look at the word and break it apart […]

Organizational transformation – and Physics

I was totally lost in my Physics class in high school. I just could not understand it at all. I really thought that physics was about numbers (I was lost in Math as well – I thought that it too was only about numbers). I have since struggled with Math and Stats at university (took […]

The Busy Show

I often hear people singing how busy they are, with the greatest of glee – “I am SO busy” … as if it’s some type of badge of honour. Such people are late to meetings, constantly checking their phones, shuffling papers and generally just rushing from one moment to the next. Sometimes for amusement, I […]

Hold your form

I am still reveling in the achievements of our Olympic athletes in the summer of 2012. In particular, the 200m Men’s Final! Jamaicans Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake were expected to be Gold and Silver. But then Warren Weir, a young, wiry sprinter, also from Jamaica, did the most amazing thing – he won the […]
