Just when you think it can't get any better....

It does. So much so, in fact, that it's hard to decide where is an appropriate place to start. On a professional level, I've had a lot of really dynamic experiences-from working in a home for the elderly to starting a WISP, a VoIP business opportunity, and a marketing consultation firm. I've learned how to handle massive responsibility, find resources when needed and have worked with people who were willing to pull me aside and generously point out my flaws. On a personal level, I've had existential experiences, some fascinating guides and a multitude of strangers who I've been able to engage on levels that I won't even try to post on this blog. That said, this past few months has provided me with a clarity and a focus that I haven't ever had... It's taken what was really great and made it phenomenal. Let me explain.
I've had a lot of work experience because I love to work, to learn and am unafraid of getting my hands dirty or of looking silly. While personally, it's very much the same way. I love people, their personal stories and I do what I can to help show people how brilliant and necessary they are. I've jumped off cliffs and been dropped from hundreds of feet. I've laid in a sarcophagi in Cairo and battled the monkeys at Malaysia's Batu caves. Though I always appreciated what was happening, it was moving quickly and I had little time to reflect or assess what could come of it in the future. Although the past three years have been of the most difficult in my life, my pace changed. It slowed. My focus changed, it turned inward. Balance and living consciously became a priority and in this past few months, I am delighted to say it's clear progress has been made.
All of my work is now benefiting from better personal decisions and vice versa. My daughters are incredibly intelligent, which was always clear, but our relationships have opened further, are working better for all of us and I am happy with my choices instead of feeling unsure. It's never easy to be a single parent, less so when you love to start businesses and travel the globe, but it has become clear how to find balance. I couldn't ask for anything more than I have been given. I will, but it wall all be gravy. I have fantastic relationships with even very difficult situations, have worked with some amazing caregivers and energies to add to what was and have so much, I keep thinking of "The Cup Overfloweth" as a symbol for how I feel. Clarity on purpose. Clarity on intent. Submission to the All that has created this incredible world and society.
Yes, life is hard-but I'm capable and resilient. Yup, there is much to be done and more to be learned, but I relish learning, doing. Opportunities are appearing in perfect time, synchronicity is happening with increasing regularity and in all, life is good.
Work hard, play well and benefit that which is good and right in this world. It makes what's great, even better.

I love Memorial Day (and leave the BBQ's alone)

I love memorial day. I didn't used to think of it much and I BBQ all the time, so I'm not too impressed with all those cartoons running around. I love memorial day because I get to officially remember people, many of whom I think about consistently but It wasn't always this way. Remembering can be hard and (in my opinion) paying tribute to those memories are an individual choice. I was living away from my family, in Arizona and married to an individual that didn't prefer me having any connections to people outside of him. My grandmothers both passed away in this time and I was unaware. My grandmother in Florida was an adorable little woman when I got to know her as a young kid. From my mom's stories, I know it wasn't always that way. Grandma Gron had to be tough to live through my grandpa and I promise you, tough is an understatement. She raised three children and my mother is of the best I have the pleasure of knowing or to know or know of. I remember and c...

Headed to 2015 or Let's Get this Party Started!

I'm so excited for 2015! Though I've loved what I do since I started marketing, I've literally never been so excited about the road ahead. I've spent the past year learning about green technology, further defining my career goals and getting to know a wide range of individuals and organizations around the globe. I've mentored, joined collaborative events and expanded my view of what's possible and now it's time to truly put the lessons to work. The sun is setting on 2014 If you know me, you know that almost every conversation I have includes my marketing company, my clients or the implications of what is possible for the globe if we keep moving forward and continue to develop as individuals. With the incredible amount of information available and the now trendy focus on community, collaboration and sustainability, I feel there has never been a better time for me. This week, I've put out a calendar of events, promotions and opportunities that ex...

Life Without Ritual

or A Guide to Escaping Mental Mind Traps (part 1) Written with a style dedicated to Rockie and Bullwinkle. Here's to never finishing the story. "Consistently inconsistent," my Dad says. It's a sentiment I've heard before, but never so eloquently put. And that would be my Dad. He's an example of power through minimal words, a man Lincoln would praise for his ability to use the least syllables while expressing absolute meaning. Unlike this paragraph and unlike me, most of the time. Allow me to digress... The world is in a period of obvious drastic change. 'The End of Times,' some say. The End of Times...    Not the End of Time,    Not the End of the World. What are 'times,' anyhow?    Let's start where I learned to and then go backwards in case I was taught wrong. We start off by defining the first word and gaining an understanding of the core concept, then the whole (thank you, Gary Mullanax). Try to stay with me...    ...
