HAPPY HOLY WEEKEND
Good Friday. Way of the Cross. Fasting and abstinence. Examine conscience. Have a really blessed day. ~ Unknown Passover affirms the great truth that liberty is the inalienable right of every human being. ~ Morris Joseph Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song. ~ Pope John Paul II

KEEPING THE FAITH ALIVE
The most asked question, biggest complaint, stickiest wicket of this work or any self-improvement path is always, “I keep trying, I keep asking, I keep trying to be grateful, I keep trying to hold faith, have trust, ask for what I need and want and actively pursue it, but it somehow it continues to evade me. I can’t make it work. It’s useless. I’m useless. What is the point? I might as well give up.” These doubts and feelings… Read More
FINDING GRATITUDE IN THE DARNDEST PLACES
Our little Gratitude and Trust Shop section is growing. We have our gorgeous necklaces designed just for us by jeweler Marla Aaron. We have our tote bags designed by our own Patricia Kind. And this week we are very pleased to welcome Beth Gross- Santos and her Olive Gratitude Bracelet Collection. Beth contacted us, and we we were so moved by her personal story and the inspiration for her line of gratitude jewelry and keychains that we had to fold… Read More
WHO’S SOONING WHO?
We are adding a new weekly section to the website called Working Your Gratitude and Trust. While we all know we are working on things and we have the concepts in our heads we don’t always work our G and T as well as we could. I know I don’t. We are all human, busy, preoccupied and often just get lazy. So to keep us working our Gratitude and Trust, we will start the week by giving you something to focus on. This week,… Read More

MIRACLE ON 34TH ST.
This is a story of the amazing things that can happen when pure love and unfaltering belief join hands. Several years ago I was fortunate enough to come in contact with an amazing young woman called Alice Pyne. Some of you might have heard of Alice. She was a force of nature and a good works who through the malevolent hands of fate was diagnosed with cancer at the age of eleven. But true to Alice’s nature she did… Read More

DISCIPLINE AND DEVOTION
Discipline and Devotion, kissing cousins, best friends and the cornerstones and pillars to making any self-improvement plan, business or relationship work. I have grown to believe that one does not work without the other. You have to be devoted to not only the outcome of what you are doing but to the process of it. It’s not enough to want something; wanting is not devotion. The dictionary describes devotion as commitment, enthusiasm and dedication. You don’t see the word… Read More

DON’T LET YOUR EGO DRIVE THE BUS
The news isn’t bad enough these days. We are faced with ISIS burning innocent people alive and chopping off heads like it was the 15th Century, only now they get to immediately upload images to You Tube, for that 21st Century dopamine rush of cyber induced instant gratification. We have Russia falling, currencies crumbling, daily genocide in Africa, and other parts of the world, and then the usual abject poverty, murder and mayhem that is sadly part of life. And then…then… Read More
HOW TO FIND FULFILLING WORK
What is your current work doing to you as a person – to your mind, character and relationships?” ― Roman Krznaric, How to Find Fulfilling Work I am a big fan of the English writer Roman Krznaric. He’s actually not English; he lives in Oxford, was born in Australia and grew up in Sidney and Hong Kong. He has lived all over and is somewhat of a global inhabitant. He works with the School of Life in London. A… Read More
