Springing Forward...

Springing Forward...

Near my window, in my kitchen, my granddaughter and I planted some seeds to prep for the gardening season that is quickly "springing" upon us... We added seeds to the soil in some little biodegradable cups and then added water, placed a little plastic over the top, and then sat them in the window. We really didn't expect much to happen for a while but within just days little green tops were peeking out of the soil and within a week the plants were like a miracle becoming a small garden on the counter. They weren't waiting for instruction or babying. Given the right space and beginning they just began "Springing Forward..." 

What I Have Learned...
  • I have learned that If I believe I can do good things I can
  • I have learned that beginning with the right elements in place makes all the difference.
  • I have learned that there are people sent into my life to guide and protect me in my journey.
  • I have learned that humility allows growth....like tender soil is for a seed.
  • I have learned that I am what I think about. Earl Nightengale in an early recording shares more about this here...

What I Have Yet to Learn...
  • I have yet to learn the details I am searching for in learning about the starting P&L when building a business. I have received different instructions that confuse me.
  • I have yet to learn how to show patience when something we have planned changes on a dime.
  • I have yet to learn how to think positive.
  • I have yet to set my 30 day goal.

Spiritual Insights...

Matthew 7:7
" Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you."

When I ask, I can receive....Seek and I can find....Believe and it will be opened to me to know He is a God of Miracles!

Goals...
Prep for project
Love, Love, Love
Believe in myself!

Celebrating Life!

Celebrating Life! What I have learned... (One final lecture) If you had one final lecture to share with a group of students on what you have learned from this course, what would you share? Lead your life!      Early in this semester I was introduced to Randy Pausch. His story was touching and inspiring as he had the chance to have clarity to what is most important at the end of life. He said in his last lecture at Carnegie Mellon University,  " It's not about how to achieve your dreams, it's about how to  lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The Dreams will come to you." It struck me that he used the word "lead" instead of "live." I learned from Pausch that it is up to me to take initiative, to LEAD my life. The entrepreneurial journey is one of filling dreams and pursuing ideas. You must have confidence in yourself.  Take the initiative...take the lead! Begin with the end in mind In this journ...

Turning 60

  Turning 60... I remember thinking 25 was years away...but it came and went..and so did another 25 years and now I have added 10 years on to that. I have found something really unexpected happened. I am embracing it wholeheartedly! More than ever, I realize there is no time to waste in life. Time is such a precious commodity but the quality of it is my choice. What I do with it is up to me. I still feel excited about new things like when a school year ends and a  new one begins. I am just finishing a Semester and I have been a bit overwhelmed. But I am living proof, you can begin again and again and there is joy to be found in it. The past few months have been really full of amazing experiences...especially the last few weeks. I shared some amazing moments with family and friends. Also this month I really took time to consider our country's amazing history. I was able to go to a crazy cool exhibit brought to town by Glen Beck. I learned a lot and really came to admire the man...

When I'm Lost...

  When I'm Lost... This week with my class I feel like I am walking down a path and there are no resting spots, no signs posted that let me know how close or not I am at arriving at my destination. There is no one to sit down with to explain what I am doing or why it has to be this way, and yet here I am...I have arrived at the end of the week safely, and I am still carrying hope, and I have a fairly positive outlook that it is all ok that I don't always know what I am doing. What is most important Is that I am on the path. If I am going to get lost, It is much wiser for me to stay where I can see a well-trodden path rather than to wander off into the woods. Yes, as far as this class I feel lost...but I'm really not. I have access to a tutor, other classmates, my teacher and even heavenly help that I know will help me figure it all out. Remembering this is how I find my way "when I am lost..." What I have learned... I have learned that there are so many perspectiv...
