Passion Power

Here's a morning boost - keep it handy and read it often like I do. I choose a rich full and delicious life. I am healthy, empowered and strong, healed from all addictions and make a real effort to walk my talk. I’m experiencing incredible amounts of Joy everyday living an inspired life. I say no to things I don’t want and yes to things I do. Self love is my top priority. I don’t use self depreciating language and I don’t identify with age. I choose good thoughts that support me and recognize ones that don’t. I work on my marriage by working on myself. I don’t give parenting advice but I know what works for me.

Help me to demonstrate by all that I say and do that honesty, honor and humility will produce joy. Eliminate any meanness in me, when I am out of sorts, and help me to hold my tongue. May I be ever mindful that my c

The Power of Choice An old Cherokee grandfather speaking to his grandson said, “Grandson inside of me there are two wolves battling. The one wolf is about love, kindness, gratitude and joy. The other wolf is about anger, hopelessness, evil and suffering. They are battling to the death. “Which one will win grandfather?” The wise chief looked at his wide eyed grandson and said, “the one that I feed”, Life teaches us many lessons and we all have our own stories to tell. Some lessons are obvious and some aren’t so obvious. Some Lessons are like nuggets of wisdom that land gently and are easy to digest. Others come to us as unexpected blows to the side of the head. The lesson that continues to show up for me every day is the power of choice. In 2013 I read an article that deeply touched my heart. It was the Ryan Ferguson story. Ryan spent 10 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. After many appeals lost, years of red tape and endless paperwork a lawyer read his cas
