There's No Higher Form of Motivation

Addicted to Praise I used to say I was part Cocker Spaniel.  My Love and Confidant of 14 years and I had this in common: we both LOVED receiving kudos.  We spoke the language of praise.  All it took was a whisper of, “Who’s a good boy?”  or a simple pat on the head and Bailey would wiggle until you thought his little, stub-tail was going to pop right off, spiraling up, up, and away.  And I suspect, if I had a little, stub-tail, you could witness a similar up, up, and away action with me at the slightest hint Continue reading >>

We’re all sexual beings, so get over the sub-title.  Stick with me for a bit…it will all come together, in a very PG sort of way. When I first became serious about sharing a message around Trust Life Today, what that means to me, what I’d like to accomplish with it, etc., I had to stop and ask myself some very important questions.  I wanted to make sure my motives were “right” and I wasn’t operating from an egoistic standpoint.  I walked through several exercises to come out on the other end, happy with the outcome.** Once I was clear Continue reading >>
