Here are my 10 tips on how to build up your immune system and ward off the Coronavirus and any other virus, for that matter! Let’s face it-- there are things a lot worse than the Coronavirus.

A Gratitude Attitude

February 5, 2020

A Gratitude Attitude Thank you! Those are 2 of my favorite words (my favorite one word is smile). How many times have you said them today? If someone has shown you compassion and kindness, thank them. Of course, you can wait; take that person to lunch 'sometime next week,' but how about a quick text or e-mail this afternoon telling them how much you appreciate the kindness? How about saying thank you to the person that held the door open for you, or a mom on the playground that always lends a he[...]

Why Self-Awareness is an Essential Tool for Personal Growth

October 16, 2019

Why Self-Awareness is an Essential Tool for Personal GrowthHow well do you know yourself? It might seem like an odd question, but each one of us has a narrative about who we are and how we appear to other people. Think about your personal narrative for a moment. Can you say that this appraisal of yourself is true? The ability to be truthful and objective about who we are, is an essential life skill. No matter what goals you’ve set for yourself, self-awareness is the starting point. If you don’t have an honest p[...]

Be grateful that you have clean water. Be grateful that you woke up today even though you may not have wanted to. There's people who are struggling out there, and their struggles are[...]

Quiet the Noise.

December 5, 2018

When I talk about quieting the outside noise, I'm not talking about the outside traffic noise. Unless that noise irritates you, then yes you have to learn how to ignore that because we want to try to get rid of all those reactive behaviors. Getting irritated is a reactive behavior. Anger is a reactive behavior. We want to start to control those things because in life, it's the only thing we can control. We can't control that there's traffic, but we can control the fact that we're not gonna get angry in traffic and[...]

A Reason, Season, or a Lifetime.

November 28, 2018

The only thing we have control over in life is our reaction. You do not have control over anything else in life. The only thing that you have control over is how you're going to react. You don't have control over the fact that your kid is going to have a meltdown in the middle of the supermarket or at church on Sunday when everybody is quiet. You don't have a choice if your boss isn't going to give you that raise, but what you do have a choice in is how you're going to react to all of that. Our reaction is what[...]
