Lean forward into your life. Begin each day as if it were on purpose.

It takes discipline and compassion to awaken the divine in ourselves long enough to recognize the divine in another.

USE this time of fresh beginnings. Use it as an impetus, the force or energy toward change. Become stronger, a better leader, more focused in your thoughts. Exert more influence over your dreams by bringing them closer to your thoughts, every day.

Find your way with the certain and gentle light of forgiveness.

I think one of the finest gifts I can give my friends in the holiday season is to pause with a long enough quality to actually SEE them. My calm, unhurried presence communicates this gift of a message, "I see you. I recognize you. I remember our times of together and am contributing right now to another quality memory. I value you and honor and take the time, right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."

In choosing joy, the finish line dissolves into a different matter altogether.

A bird only flies. It does not turn to another bird and ask, am I doing this right?
