Practical Steps to Success #6: Avoid the Train Wreck
Let’s face it, our lives are busy. Without any effort, our sub-conscious picks up so much “extra stuff” to process. “Extra stuff” translates into stress. Too much stress can overload your brain.
Stress reduction is SO important, and it is not so easy; whether you are commuting, meeting friends or actually trying to work. Your brain is gathering information all the time! Often, juggling clients or projects can be like ‘changing…
Practical Steps for Success # 5: The Vision
When you were younger, did you ever wonder about the future? Did you ever figure that you would end up where you are now? Some kids knew exactly what they wanted to be. And others just fell into the work force.

Have you heard of a Vision Board? It is a tangible…
Practical Steps to Success #4: Listen for the Pregnant Pause
A large portion of the population today are ‘plugged in’, getting to and from their work place each day. It has become routine to see everyone connected to another world while going about the daily mundane chores. Perhaps, some are enhancing their lives with ‘background’ noise. Perhaps, this is becoming too much of a social norm.
As an observer, I wonder while I cross the street: If I ask for…
McDonald’s comes to Vietnam!
First world food comes to Third World country:
But, Is it too much to ask for a stove and a bed?Many of you know my son Jeremy is living in Vietnam. He is doing a number of things, mostly teaching English and driving Jeeps for tourists. The language is often a huge barrier, but sometimes the culture is…different.
Jeremy moved across DaNang, almost a year ago. He was exasperated trying to find a nice, clean place,…
Practical Steps for Success #3 : Want to Act Like a Pro? Jump in!
Have you known someone that ‘all of a sudden’ jumps into a new hobby/sport and goes out to spend wildly on ‘the outfit’, the tools and all the bells?
Have you ever seen something so crazy? Well, the ‘jumping in’ attitude shows THEY ARE COMMITTED! It can be crazy, expensive, and it can be a surprise to watch. In reality, something has changed: they are trying…
Practical Steps for Success #2 : Douse the Distractions
The days that are the craziest, are the toughest to manoeuvre! To deflect all that combative energy, you may feel the need for Wonder Woman at your side! It is a rough world out there!
Is it possible that you are constantly distracted throughout the entire day?
Here is an easy formula to take back control. Start with your senses:
Sight: Am I sitting in a spot that allows me peripheral…
Where is your Ancestor Chi-energy?
I have discussed chi-energy previously and as you know, it can be found in many forms. Ancestor-chi is passed along via the blood lines that connect you with your direct ancestors.
My dad’s working career was a Newspaper Ad-man. He did the ‘copy’ for all the ads and special features that ran in the newspapers back in Ontario. He came from a bloodline of serious artists. When retired, he turned his attention to paintings…
Practical Steps for Success #1 : Choosing a desk area
In order to maintain control and make sound decisions, you need to support your working world. Interesting enough, more and more people have ‘portable work stations’ and claim they can work anywhere. Good for them! I agree. This flexible life style is wonderful.
To debate this: when you need to complete a project or work on a big presentation, you may have to look harder to find the best place…
Good Vibes in the Bedroom by Kathryn Wilking
We all know how ‘sacred’ the master bedroom is; but is it getting the attention it really needs for a solid relationship? Often the master bedroom is the last room to get any attention!
In feng shui, the main objective of the ‘relationship area’ is to have this area balanced in order to maintain an equal partnership. The master bed should be large enough to support both parties, without a crack…
Powerful Threes
I tuned in to Marie TV earlier this week while she was talking with Ned Hallowell. They were talking about To-do lists. (So was I! Check out my blog from last week -The To-do List.)
Ned suggested; pick three things off your To-do list each day, and do them well. What a concept! Most days, just logging in to the computer can distract us – and the To-do list continues to grow. So, having a goal to complete…
