Like it or not, good news and bad news follows us constantly

follower sign — There’s a time and a place for this. How do we transform when we are crystal clear?

Like it or not, good news and bad news follows us constantly. We are so stinking busy most days (years, even decades) that we get blinded to the reality that everybody is in the same boat.

So reminded of that today (11.12.13 – Nov 12, 2013) as the year-end holidays, and work challenges that go along with this time of year, that much of the world is in overdrive trying to survive and celebrate simultaneously.

This fact provides solace to one who has given herself permission to step up and be a positive catalyst the herd so desperately needs.

The herd is the majority, going through the motions. Until the final breath.

We all know the answer to this common midlife dilemma

Mid Life Celebration book and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame marque — How audacious is it to think you could start a movement that would change things?

This quote struck me while sitting in a Cleveland hotel room, sipping the morning’s first cup of coffee.

I just kept on doing what everyone starts out doing. The real question is, why did other people stop?
– William Stafford

We all know why we stop. We don’t share the same exact reason, but we do all pick from the same generic list of excuses.

It took me 30 years to write the first sentence for Mid Life Celebration: rethink • reprioritize • recommit.

Took two more years to finish it.

Took two more years after that to get the guts to commit to publishing.

I get what you get and hear what you hear and fear what you fear, but kept going anyway.

Here’s to you.

Something really big is on the horizon and it is fueled by love, generosity, and gratefulness

First day of school 2013 — First day of 2013 school – dad and dog pick up 7th grader

Something really big is on the horizon and it is fueled by love, generosity, and gratefulness.

We often ask for a map to guide our way.

But what good does the map do?

We are not even sure where we are going.

Mid Life Celebration has prepared a life compass.

Because where we are heading is more important than how we travel.

The downside and upside to midlife consistency

Lab in car surrounded by children — May the law of attraction work brilliantly for you today

The downside to midlife consistency is that mediocrity slowly suffocates our desire and passion to thrive.

Deep down, we know this is true.

The upside is that constantly tending to our mind, body, spirit, work, and home keeps our life in very good shape.

Deep down, we also know this to be true.

Wishing everyone great choices today.

If we don’t change anything, nothing will change

most resumes, and social media profiles, are plain vanilla

If we don’t change anything, nothing will change. Wow. Profound. Is this true? Mostly.

And perhaps, insidiously tricky.

There’s a paradox here most of us are missing.

Suppose we don’t change, could this ~~change~~ influence others?

Refusing to change because of peer pressure, social norms, religious or political views could in fact, change everything.
