Most people set goals and hope to achieve goals in a big way throughout the year.
We have such enthusiasm and hope that this year will be different and all these New Year’s resolutions and time planning to achieve goals that we really want are going to pan out.
There is a more powerful way to feel good and be successful this year. A different way to set goals and a much more direct way to achieve goals that we really hope will unfold for us this year.
By creating a theme for the year. And since we are at the dawn of a new decade you can set a that theme with the fresh new start in mind.
Listen to the podcast I created for you and discover the benefits of having an inspired theme for the year to achieve goals and create success in your life.

How do you look at things in your life?
Do you React to things…?
Or do you Act on the things you choose…?
Even though it is July the June Bugs are still out in the evening. They fly through the open window, buzz the room and then try to get back out through the only closed window in the space.
They react to the closed window by pushing against it, flinging their body against it. They don’t seem to shift their perspective onto the open window just ten inches away. They react-
You might think well. It’s a June bug, it’s what they do…
But what do you do with the seemingly “closed windows” in your life?
The other morning I heard some little thumps by the set of windows I had closed to the summer rain storm. I looked over and there was a fledgling chickadee flapping and trying to get out to the trees beyond. Instead of flapping madly he just tested the window and fluttered, intent on the vision beyond the glass.
I didn’t want to scare him so I moved to the next set of casement windows turned the window crank to open them. The morning breeze came through the windows.
I stepped back to the side of the windows- where the little chickadee was and held up a towel, using it to block his view of me. I just moved it closer and he turned away from it.
He seemed to be thinking about his predicament. Moving along the window sill in front of the closed windows with a flap and a bump now and then.
But mostly cocking his little head to get a new perspective. Then heading in the direction of the morning breeze he fluttered and bumped a bit more and out the next set of windows.
“Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.” ~ Albert Einstein
We are not June bugs, yet most times even with our powerful brains we fling ourselves against “closed windows”. We don’t shift our perspective we React!
We react to a comment someone makes to us… We react to something we hear on the news… We react to our lives…
What if as the little fledgling chickadee we cocked our heads and shifted our perspective. What if we stopped reacting to Everything?
What if we were inspired to spread our wings and live in a new way. To act on the things we chose to act on. And let the rest just be.
We choose to react- we usually just do it unconsciously. So what if we consciously chose a new way.
Will you let yourself choose to let go of reacting to things?
What things little and large will you Choose to Act On this week?

I had a lovely walk to my library today, the fragrance of lilacs and viburnum carlisii reaching out and kissing my senses as I walked along the pretty little streets fresh with spring green.
I love reading and I was enjoying my walk with the morning sun streaming through the leaves thinking about the books in my hand to return and the enjoyable journey I had been on while immersed in their pages.
I walked over to the new release stacks to browse, I always like to see what catches my eye.
On the top shelf was a delicious looking cupcake, a satiny bed of dark chocolate frosting topped with a sugared pansy with a bright face. Looked good enough to eat. The marketing of the cover shot hit its mark and I selected the book to take home.
Cupcakes are very popular with “big kids” these days. [click to continue reading…]
