You Got to Let Love Rule When it Comes to Haters

There seems to be so much hate lately on the interwebs. Here is what I have to say about all of that hot mess.

What do you think? I know it is not easy, but can you show love to people who do you wrong?

Exploring Color **Orange**

Orange is optimistic, uplifting and healing color. It is an excellent color to use during economic difficulties that keeps us motivated and helping us to look on the bright side of life. Orange brings a sense of spontaneity and a positive outlook on life.

The color orange relates to adventure and risk-taking. It inspires physical confidence, independence and a confident attitude. People inspired by orange are always on the go!

Put some orange in your life when you want:

  • to spice things up when you feel like life is dragging
  • to become more involved in something
  • to increase your creativity
  • relief from the seriousness of things

Try Something New This Week

Today was a really nice day. For the first time in months, I woke up energized and ready to tackle the day. I have been working daily on setting my mind about the kind of day I want to have. It is new for me, being this intentional about how I am going to approach my day. It is typical for us humans to let our moods, as fickle as they are, dictate how we feel. That, my friends, is a passive way to approach intentional living, and I have found it is counter productive for me.

So, I challenge you this week. Do something different in the morning. If you normally hit the snooze button, get up and do some stretching or read and pray. If you get up in a bad mood, make up your mind you will have an amazing day. Choose a better alternative for breakfast or arrive to work on time. Just give it a try.

What new thing are you going to try this week?

Pursuing the Good Life Starts in a New Home


Welcome to my new home online.

Since giving my keynote at EVO this year, I have been obsessed with living the good life. It has become my main purpose in living well. I have experienced a lot of changes the past few years that would drive any sane person crazy. I am no longer married, my kids and I live in a much smaller space and the economy has not been kind to me jobwise. In spite of the setbacks, one thing I have been able to maintain is my happy.

I speak often about being happy and how it is a choice. I am not saying it is easy maintaining a positive attitude, but I have found it’s a much better alternative to being negative. In the coming months, I am going to do everything I can to pursuit the good life. For me, that is physical fitness and eating better, writing and photography and living life with intention.

I am glad to finally share my new space with you and I hope you will visit often. Now, tell me, what does pursuing the good life look like for you, and what are you doing to go after what you want?
