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.

Clearing out your spaces

For the last part of 2011, I suggest on my Facebook page and will duplicate the suggestion here, that you clean out your spaces. From offices to people, from thoughts to visualizations, it's time to clean up anything that stands between you and your goals for the future. 2012 is going to be monumental-where do you want to be? Head into that office space, tackle the filing cabinet and get an orderly system together so that you can be successful and calm while you complete tasls and meet goals. You will feel better and more focused if you know where your working items are and your space will be supportive of you meeting your goals and making it through obstacles. Put up an old fashioned calendar to keep you reminded of important dates and meeting times before they get there. Think of what you will need to succeed and contact anyone you could use for advice and mentoring. Your thoughts will create your reality and if there are any blank spaces or questions, use your social media or ...

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...

Startup Weekend_One week later

It's been one week since the Startup Weekend in Salt Lake and I've had a bit of time to process the event, the outcome and my personal experiences with this phenomenal three day marathon. First, let me say that I heard of this event after complaining that Utah didn't have a lot of entrepreneurial type conferences. I take back some of what I said and have to admit, if a single event were to come to this state in lieu of all others, I'd be okay with Startup Weekend being that event. For those of you not familiar, this is a competition where people pitch ideas, research, plan and execute a group of start up businesses in a three day period. That said, here's more about the event- what I would do differently, some of my favorite aspects and what's happened since last Saturday. If I had it all to do over again, I'd do almost all of it different. I don't know if I've ever felt that way before, but it's true for Startup Weekend. For example, I would ha...
