In keeping with the theme of seeds, but in a completely different context, I thought this quote might hit home for those of us who are working on new projects and have yet to see a harvest.  

Over the past several years, as I’ve designed my life with intention, I have become clearer and clearer about what that phrase truly means to me. I believe that the intentions we have for our lives are largely unchanging. They form a “constitution” of sorts about what we believe and want for our lives. Though [...]

Today, I think this is the perfect quote to keep in mind. Simple, but true.

  Lately, I have been thinking a lot about motivation as it relates to intentions in our lives. The book Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins has introduced me to a very interesting concept regarding motive, paradigms, and power. Though I am skeptical of many of the scientific elements he brings to the table, [...]

  Today I realized the best thing I can do to serve you is share a feisty piece I wrote in 2011. I promise, it’s worth reading (or re-reading)… Pardon me, but I’m a little fired up today. While standing in line at the CVS to pick up some contact solution yesterday afternoon, I glanced [...]
