Do you know where you're going to?

6/27/2017

The biggest part of waking up is seeing where your going. All too often we get so set in our ways we forget to dream and set new plans.

Many years ago there was this wonderful song titled Do you know Where you’re Going, song by the wonderful Diana Ross. The song is so beautiful most people miss the message. The very second line is, “Do you like the things that life is showing you” You do know you have a choose about your future, it’s in your hands to create it in your mind, and then live it.

Later in the song she says they were chasing fantasies. When was the last time you chased one? Again we all did that when we were young and somehow got lost on the journey. Don’t settle for less go for what you love.

The other day I overheard two young adults talking about careers. The one said my education is in the field I hate, he went on to say I guess I will have to learn to like it. As I was leaving I told him follow you heart and do what you love and it will be wonderful. He said but Sir, you don’t understand. I said, start with your passion as a hobby and let it grow from there. Both of their eyes opened up and as I was walking away I could heard all the excitement.

Give it a try.

Much joy and love to you and yours

Grace is freely given to you, claim it and walk in joy and love on your journey.

It was not that long ago that I felt defeated, hopeless, scared, and really mad. Then one day I opened my eyes and Grace came to me and changed everything. Here is the key thing I was told.

“People have used the word grace for multiple concepts, Grace really is the concept of living life free, yes free from judgment, free from laws, free from you name it, the possibility are endless. With Grace you are forgiven and shown a love beyond your any measure.”

Those words changed my life and now I walk in pure joy and love every day. I wrote that story a few years ago in a book titled, Amazing Grace, Guide to truly living your life with Love, Joy, and Peace. You can download it from the store on this website.

Much Love and Joy to you and yours

Graduation Day

What a wonderful day to celebrate completing one phase of life with joy and love.

Today my daughter Kaitlyn graduates from High School, way to go. You know over the course of those 12 years it was hard in the beginning and later was so much easier for both her and I. I remember the late night projects that had be completed for tomorrow and the quizzing to prepare her for a test coming up the next day. It took a lot of coaching, support, encouragement, and at times just being there each step of the way. Over time she took off in a new wonderful direction and was on her own with the projects and work, with me peeking around the corners just to be there. Way to go Kaitlyn I am so proud of you.

As I was thinking about Graduations and how it is a celebration of completing a phase in life the thought came to me to change birthdays to graduations. Just think about it you set an intention for the year, you get some help along the way with coaching, reading, studying, and support. Soon enough you complete another phase of growth and you enjoy the joy and love you discovered along the path. All too often the journey is just a long ride sitting in the backseat while someone else drives you. Turn that around and take control and watch it get really really exciting.

Much Joy and Love to you and yours

Make your dreams come true.

Dreams give you amazing joy, it’s time to make all those dreams come true. Live them and take action each day and you will reach your dreams.

Years ago I had a dream about completing college, I started out very well. I completed the first year and loved every day of that dream adventure. Then I got distracted, ok I fell in love with a woman, who also had two kids. We were one happy broke family, but did we have fun all the time. I had to put my college dream on hold while I provided for my new family. Time was moving fast and no matter how hard I worked I kept thinking someday I will go back to that dream and complete my college degree.

Then one day I woke up and said I will never live my dream this way. I have so many other dreams and while I was open to the new journey, I wanted my dreams. I finally said enough dreaming about things that will never happen, I said I am going for it. I went back to my college and told them I am coming back full time. We created a plan and I took the actions to make that dream real. It was hard working full time, caring for a family and going to college, but I was determined there was no stopping me.

In record time I completed the degree, I did three years’ work in two years and graduated with all A’s. As I look back I am amazed I did it and it was so hard, but there were two key things that drove me and did not allow me to fail. First I truly believed I could do it and second I never listened to people who tried to tell me I could not do it. Even when the school told me it was impossible to take 21 credit hours in one semester, I said watch me. That is how I completed that dream.

How about you. Take those dreams off the shelf, start believing, and take action. Remember a dream really is just a vision of your future. It just takes belief and action to live it.

Much joy and love to you and yours

Today I will show only my inner beauty and only see only your beauty.

This past weekend I restored my deck, bringing back its beauty. I was amazed with how over the years the beauty got discolored and worn out. The crazy part is we got used to it and just saw it as the deck. As I power washed it and restained it the beauty came back, when the job was complete it was better than new, it was beautiful.

There are time in life we allow events and the world to change us and we become dull, wore out or just plain too busy. We get sweep up in the activities and forget the joy and love we are and were created for. We forget we were born with so much beauty to share with the world, we allowed the world to cover it.

Not today, today let’s get excited about life and our beauty. Let’s smile more, sing in our minds, and dance a new dance. Show your beauty to the world and let it shine for others to show their beauty. You are a wonderful beautiful person. Know that and be it, today and everyday going forward.

Much joy and love to you and yours.
