The Forecast Calls For Sunny Skies
January 29, 2013
It’s a cloudy morning. It’s been this way for the past three days. I’m fortunate to reside in Phoenix where most of the days are sunny and bright. So, in my mind I envision the sun rising and warmth outside:
The best things in life: Imagination, inspiration and, above all, love.
So, here’s to the cloudy days and the sunny imaginations.

It never dawned on me that I didn’t share these images. I participated in the Fiesta Fin de Verano in San Diego, CA and had the opportunity to meet and work with many wonderful flamenco artists. Below are some images of my time there.

100% Committed
January 16, 2013
“I am 100% Committed to this.” — I learned this exercise from a good friend and mentor. I have found that it has helped me in all facets in life. I especially think of this phrase when I’m in the middle of a difficult conversation with someone or I have had a long day of work and there is still more to go.
With regards to work, I remind myself that I chose the work and schedule I have. I remind myself that my present moment is where I ‘want’ to be and I focus on remaining fully committed and fully aware so that I can contribute my full self. Telling myself that I am 100% committed to something reminds me that I am fully accountable for my actions. It has changed a tiring situation into a situation that is inspiring to myself and others…. It has turned my lemons into lemonade.
Sincerely,

All You Need Is Love

“Love is the flower you’ve got to let grow” — John Lennon
***
It takes courage to be honest. It takes courage to ask for help. It takes courage to follow your dreams. It takes courage to build healthy relationships. It takes courage to love unconditionally. It takes courage to take risks. It takes courage to break bad habits. It takes courage to forgive. It takes courage to accept yourself…. and accept others.
Love yourself and take courage.

I’m not a television watcher at home, but while visiting family recently, I came across an interview of Missy Elliott in VH-1‘s Behind The Music. Prior to the interview, I didn’t know very much about her, other than knowing she is a rap artist. I had limited knowledge of her.
Wow! I am so impressed by her drive and determination. And equally impressed by her ability to overcome obstacles. It was truly an inspiring interview and in watching I feel inspired to work harder in my career. She definitely has a new admirer.
