I had a great Mother's Day. People I didn't know waved to me as I rode my bike through the park with my daughter... It was a day of surprises and adventures. Everything seemed to go my way. So I thought, "What would happen if we woke up every day believing it was made just for us??" What if everything that happens to us is part of a secret plan to bless and celebrate who we are in fun and perhaps subtle ways? What ...
I just received this email... I live in Seattle. Everyone is paranoid and predicting a traumatic earthquake at any time. It is causing me a small, but consistent amount of stress that may potentially cause me to move out of fear, even though I'm not certain if I want to. How can I What If Up something as scary as an earthquake? If perhaps you can, maybe that could help others who are feeling the same way... I've ...
I was attending a neighborhood holiday party last week and I shared with a woman down the street the name of my new book: What If It All Goes RIGHT? She laughed and said, "Oh, I don't want to go there!" Really??? I was a bit stunned by her response. "You don't want to go there?" I asked incredulously. You don't want to imagine what it would look like if things went right??? "Oh, no!" she laughed, then changed the subject. It was as ...
Halloween is a big deal in my neighborhood. Last night, we were invaded by swarms of trick-or-treaters of all ages. As the ghouls and goblins passed us in the street, my 3-year old daughter was a bit freaked out. "Don't worry," I told her. "That's just a mask. They're just playing. There's nothing to be scared of here." What if it was always this easy to see beyond the masks we wear? What if we could look past ...
A friend emailed me last night. She wanted to invited me to participate in a project she is launching, but was afraid I would be too busy. In fact, she almost didn't ask. But then she thought... What if she says "Yes!"? What if you give yourself permission to ask? What if each "No" brings you closer to your next "Yes!"? And what if that next "Yes!" is the one that brings you treasures galore!? “You create your opportunities by asking for them." ~Shakti Gawain P.S. ...
We may be able to "get by" on our own, but the most successful people know this: In order to thrive, we need a team. What if you assess the team that is already supporting you? (Doctors, dentist, babysitter, pool cleaner, CPA, financial planner, coach?) What if you identify any gaps and took some time this week to bring new members onto your team? What if, in building your team, you strengthen your network and leverage your time so you can focus more on the things you do ...
The word "enthusiasm" comes from the Greek words "en theos" meaning "in god." What if our eagerness and joyful anticipation for our creative endeavors is simple evidence that we are tuned in to a higher purpose? What if you notice today the things and the thoughts that cause you to feel most enthusiastic? What if you share these observations with others, causing them to ignite a spark or two of their own? "Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. With it, there ...
Traditionally, God has taken the spotlight in this catchy little tune. But if it's true that we are the hands and feet that were blessed with dominion of this tiny blue planet (as the book of Genesis would tell us), perhaps it's time to roll up our sleeves a bit and expand our repetoire? What if we remembered that we have an entire world rich in resources here at our fingertips every day? What if we knew the answer ...
