Giving Thanks

     Today is another of those georgeous winter days here in New Orleans.  As I started my day with a morning walk, I was reminded of all those things I am thankful for.  The squirrel climbing up the oak tree, the sparrows flitting in and out of the trees, the fact that I have more to be thankful for than a good percentage of the world's population, many of whom are going hungry today.
    So, I give thanks to God, the universe, or how ever He/She/It is described for all I am thankful for.   I am committed today to use my talents to inspire, mentor, and coach others to manifest their highest potential.
Namaste

Happiness

     Happiness is not something to be pursued.  Happiness is something you do.  Being Happy is a choice each of us has in the present moment.  If it seems difficult, change your physiology - Smile, Stand up Straight, Throw your shoulders back, Visualize a time in your life that was intensely enjoyable for you.  Life is to enjoy and savor. 
     "Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored."
- Earl Nightingale
