"Are you living Your Purpose?"   "Why Not?"

"A Confused Mind Clouds a Happy Heart!"

Haven't been communicating recently due to travels, changes and more!  Will be back to communicate and complete the Communication travels. How are things in life?  How fast is life moving? Are you "championing change" or fighting it? Discover you in your life's journey!

We now move into the 6th letter of the communication sequence.  This is the part of the process that involves the 'C' in communication.  'C' as we recall is to Care.  We need to Care first before we communicate in any situation.  Our relationships depend on it, but we also know that Care alone won't create effective communication.  We now travel into the 'N' as we communicate. The 'N' is to Nurture!  To 'Nurture' is to care and encourage the development of someone or something else.  In our communication with others, we need to understand how we can grow the relationship and encourage others in the process.  Unfortunately, we tend to be in interactions with a must win attitude and with the tone of selfishness.  We focus on us in the interaction and relationship and fail to see the other person.   We need to not only infuse our point of view into any interaction, but also find ways to influence and help the other person to grow in the...

I apologize for the long delay in my "communication"!  No excuses.....just got caught up in travels and consulting.  We had covered 'C', 'O', 'M' and 'M' thus far.... we Care, Observe, Make Time and Movement in our communication with others.  So what is this 'U' all about? U: To Understand!  To truly enable healthy communication with ourselves as well as with others, we must find the ability to understand.  We find the definition of understand to be our ability to grasp the meaning of something and its reasonableness.  To understand is to be thoroughly familiar with the character and propensities of something or someone.  My thought is that in communication we must really adhere to the part of the definition that states our need to show a sympathetic or tolerant attitude toward something or someone!  How tolerant are you of others and even of yourself?  What does tolerance mean to you?  A simple definition can be one that states our...

The second 'M' in the word Communicate is "Movement"!  This 'M' is the catalyst to building healthy relationships in life.  You must take action in order to create vibrant, healthy relationships not only with others, but with yourself as well.   We must Care first, then Observe and find ways to Make Time to communicate, but these are not effective unless we "MOVE!" We often visualize and dream about how we want things to be.  We find ourselves wishing and dreaming our lives away as our relationships go nowhere.  This is because we fear "Movement".  Movement causes change and change can cause discomfort.  We are led from the comfort of our thoughts into reality.  Reality can cause fear because we can't truly control all the aspects of it.  There are others who can influence it and distract us from what we desire.  In a dream we can control all aspects and make our relationships so 'fairy tale' like.  We can change this as...

The headlines are booming about Senator Walsh's plagiarism on his War Thesis.  The critics are out and the country is all a "buzz"! What about your life?  Are you truly living your life's purpose, dreams and passions?  Or... Are you just plagiarizing  your life?   We allow ourselves to get conditioned by the media, friends, family, etc, that we fail to actually step out and live our lives.  We criticize those who are different.  We judge those who do things that are out of the supposed "normal"!  What if they are just living their lives and passions?  They seem happy. Are you? You need to stop!  Stop and look at your life.  Evaluate your dreams and passions and discover how to make them a reality.  I was talking to an individual the other day.  She is successful and has much, much more to offer.  As we talked, she discovered that her life is in a rut.  Her life balance is out of balance.  Just as your ve...
