  • Daily Spark: The Fruits of my Legacy

    Today on my birthday, I want to be like the loquat tree in my yard . . . bursting with energy, fulfilling my purpose, and full of the fruits of my labor and my legacy.

  • Daily Spark: Live in the Sunshine

    One of my favorite quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson goes “Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air.”

  • Daily Spark: Try Something New

    Mike Dooley said, “It’s always easier to try something new than to wonder what might have been.”  I want to hold onto that thought.  I want to squeeze every last drop of juice from the fruit that is life before I go.

  • Daily Spark: Celebrate Good Times

    Today was a good day, a joyful day.  After five weeks of health challenges with life and death struggles, my partner made it home from the hospital.  I feel a bit like singing Kool and the Gang’s song, you all know it: “Celebrate good times, come on!”

  • Daily Spark: Until You Try

    “My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, ‘You never know what you can accomplish until you try.” – Michael Jordan

  • Daily Spark: The Gold of Your Courage

     John Roedel said,” I can’t take away your pain, but I can sit with you and be a witness to how the fractures in your heart become filled with the gold of your courage. Rest my love, rest. Close your eyes. Let the gold in. I will keep watch as you heal.”

  • Daily Spark: All The Good I Can Do

    “I cannot do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good that I can do!” – Jana Stanfield

  • Daily Spark: In This Moment

    Walt Whitman said, “Happiness, not in another place but this place…not for another hour, but this hour.”

  • Daily Spark: A Bit Goofy

    I so relate to the words of the soccer player Julie Foudy, when she said, “Leadership is loud. It is quiet. It is thoughtful and emotional and cerebral and nerdy and goofy and joyful and motivating.”

  • Daily Spark: Here is Wonderful

    “I will get there. But right now I am here, and here is wonderful!” Ahh, THERE is the work to do – to really believe that here is wonderful.  To allow what is.
