Friday night I experienced a small piece of France in Spotsylvania, Virginia. For those of you who don’t know a lot about Virginia, Spotsyvania, like many counties in Virginia, is a county in the middle of nowhere. Invited to a dinner soiree at my friend Patti’s farm, it was a beautiful, intellectual, and freeing evening that
DREAM CHASER.
I’ve only ever seen one dream catcher in person, and that was a fake one that I bought my dad for Christmas two years ago. It was a Redskins’ dream catcher; we all know that the Redskins need it. I’m hoping it will start working soon. We are our own dream catchers in life,
TAKE AND TRUST INSPIRATION.
You are full of ideas, dreams, love, beauty, inspiration and potential. You are, I am, we all are. However, not everyone is able to live in such a way that their true self is expressed, simply because not everyone has learned to trust and listen to what truly lies within their heart of
CONFIDENT MUSTARD SEEDS.
It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not. If you think that you are not capable of achieving your goal, of making a difference, or of happiness, then you won’t be. The only difference between those who achieve their dreams and those who don’t is confidence.
VISUALIZE THIS.
While doing some late night grocery shopping last night at Wegmans, I came across a brilliant poster on vision with a quotation from Jonathan Swift, the Irish essayist and satirist most remembered for his classic creation of Gulliver’s Travels. The poster read: “Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.” And it
THE WISHBONE OF ALL WISHBONES: 11.11.11.
It’s 11.11.11. and I am writing this in the sky, where wishes come true. Thinking about wishes while being surrounded by clouds forces the mind to stretch, because, when you find yourself between somewhere and nowhere, your understanding of the vastness of your potential dreams becomes a tangible reality. Today is the wishbone of all
THINK BIG.
Where success is concerned, people are not measured in inches, or pounds, or college degrees, or family background; they are measured by the size of their thinking. – David Schwartz The greatest commonality among those that change the world is the size of their thinking. Whatever it is that you are trying to change, be
A UNICORN MARATHON
If you have ever wondered how it feels to be a unicorn, you have to look no farther than my faithfully crazy friend Nicole. After I dressed up a Piggy-the-Pig for her to keep her laughing and smiling during her Ironman Texas last month, she one-upped me for my race day with a stuffed unicorn
(I’M) POSSIBLE
Music at the gym can be a grab-bag; anything and everything, and on my long work days, I can hear the same song play upwards of fifteen times. This morning though I was inspired by the sounds of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ echoing into my office. It made me wonder how many times I have
DREAMS
“Dreams feel real we’re in them; it’s only when we wake up that we realize that they’re strange.” Though I fell asleep while watching the film Inception, I did garnish this quotation from it and it seems to be perfectly fitted for the arrival of a new year. The coming of a new year is
