I can't believe I made it through my 30 days of learning experience. It has been challenging to blog EVERY SINGLE DAY. It has given me a great new respect for the people doing it...and doing it well! It has also provided me with a new way of going through my day, on the lookout … Continue reading LOVE is all you need – Lesson #30

Instead of “I Can’t,” try “I CAN” – Lesson #29
Lesson #29 in my 30 days of learning experiment goes like this, instead of saying I can't,try "I CAN!" (With exclamations like that!!!!!!! Say it and think it with CONVICTION!!!)

Share Your Ideas – Lesson #23
Often times we keep ideas to ourselves at the risk of exposing ourselves to fear or rejection. By sharing our ideas we actually create opportunities to expand. The right people show up in our lives when we need them, with the right advice, connections or information to help us achieve our goals. When we are … Continue reading Share Your Ideas – Lesson #23
Choose happiness – Lesson # 20
Today's lesson came to me early this morning when I received my DELIVERING HAPPYNESS newsletter. So it seems only fitting that day #20 of my 30 days of learning posts should be about this very topic...happiness. What makes us happy? Passion? Is it a gene we're born with or is it a choice we make? … Continue reading Choose happiness – Lesson # 20
Eat, Pray, Love – Lesson #18
I enjoyed a wonderful evening at my in-laws celebrating my sister-in-laws birthday. We ate a fabulous roast beef dinner prepared by my mother-in-law, whom I adore! I had the privilege of engaging in a great conversation with my 16-yr-old niece over a cup of tea, before dinner. She shared her life, her thoughts, and dreams … Continue reading Eat, Pray, Love – Lesson #18

The infamous Gandhi phrase, "Be the change you wish to see in the world" is a wonderful rule to live by and the perfect subject for lesson #17 in my 30 days of learning exercisee. We don't need to be a notorious world leader like Gandhi to "be the change", every person holds this same … Continue reading Be the Change – Lesson # 17
Watch Your Time – Lesson # 14
Big, huge, ginormous challenge for me...being on time! So, lesson #14 in my 30 days of learning is to watch your time (just realized the play on words-HA!) Give yourself extra time to account for delays, slowdowns, construction or other unexpected things. Sound obvious? Not so...rushing can cause accidents and incredible stress on the body. … Continue reading Watch Your Time – Lesson # 14
Don’t Skip a Meal – Lesson #13
Now this might sound like an obvious lesson but it is one that really hits home with me-particularly today, day 13 in my 30 days of learning month. Don't skip a meal! I made dinner for my family before rushing out the door to a meeting tonight. Despite my husband's repetitive words, "You are going … Continue reading Don’t Skip a Meal – Lesson #13
The Power of One – Lesson #12
Today was a fabulously relaxing day. No schedules, no place to be, no demands. Lots of time for reflection. I should have been born a mirror I love reflection so much. To me, it's the most magnificent way to put things into perspective. As I was reflecting today (for my 30 days of learning experiment) … Continue reading The Power of One – Lesson #12
Give Your Time – Lesson #11
In the hustle and bustle of life we tend to over-schedule every second of our days. Instead of trying to squeeze in an extra bit of work when I could and then feeling frustrated when I can't get a particular project complete because of the multiple distractions I encounter, I decided today to drop everything … Continue reading Give Your Time – Lesson #11
