to think is to create: Where to 2021?
- 12/31/20 02:05 PM
And forward we march into 2021. Where is the 2021 tunnel leading us to? Will it be good? Will it be like 2020? Can we even get through the tunnel? What if this and what if that? On and on the mind goes....
Chill out!
The good news first! This tunnel is a really fun tunnel. It leads from one hiking trail to another, underneath a major road. There are a serious of these tunnels in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve that go on for miles and mile. 30 or so miles I believe. They were first built for horse trails tunnels. And … (29 comments)
Not My Circus Not My Monkeys! This has been a fun quote to me for many years. A few years or so ago I saw a cup with the saying on it and of course had to buy a few of them. Why? Because a good friend of mine kept getting caught up in other people’s monkey business and went on and on about it.
Until I said to her - It's not your circus and they're not your monkeys, why are you wasting any energy on it?
We're good friends and we talk like this to each other. She wasn't offended! … (65 comments)

Today a good friend of mine mentioned the term Ambassador of Positivity in regards to an event we're working on together. There are quite a few Ambassadors of Positivity within this event. That caused me to ponder, what does that really mean to be a positivity ambassador? To me it means being upbeat, encouraging, seeing the good in situations, passionate, confident, giving, dedicated, inclusive to all, happy, team players and yes positive!
But what are the deeper connotations? What kind of person becomes a Positivity Ambassador? And why are those people asked to take on that role quite often and/or … (43 comments)
to think is to create: Lazy Lane or Dead End. Your choice!
- 07/25/20 03:57 PM
Imagine my laughter when I just happened upon this street sign, Lazy Lane OR Dead End, while looking at homes. So let's pretend you live on Lazy Lane but if you take a wrong turn it will turn into a Dead End! That's was an intriguing thought to me in that moment! I knew I had to snap a photo and the perfect opportunity to use it would appear!
Lazy Lane OR Dead End sounded like situations that pop up a lot in life.....and especially this past few months with all the challenges going on in the world. And let's not … (59 comments)
Years ago I was involved in a year long Leadership Development Course. I was first a student and then staffer for many years after-wards. The course was a powerful leaders training course in many, many ways and my goal is to share with all of you some of powerful ideas of the course, along our journey together. My now husband was also a student and staffer of the course. We were friends for many years before we married. Because of this powerful teaching course, our mindset is very similar as is our way of seeing life and situations and simply 'knowing' what is … (14 comments)
This morning while out hiking in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve I noticed a very unusual hiking duo. I was just about to cross over the main path to head back to my home. I just happened to look up the hill and was amazed by what I saw. I quickly took out my phone and adjusted the camera to try to catch a shot.
There they were - a seemingly very odd couple hiking - one young lady and one older lady. I have been hiking this mountain preserve for well over 25 … (23 comments)
I have long been a true believer in 'To Think is to Create". Thinking begins it all.....your mood, your attitude, your perceptions, you name it. You are 100% responsible for how you want to view and perceive yourself and the world around you. Ok so let me say that a different way..... I am 100% responsible for how I view and perceive myself and the world around me! And I truly believe that!
I was fortunate to have great parents that 'worked' with us kids to develop positive, healthy attitudes. They let us 'figure it … (12 comments)
There are times in everybody's life when we wonder if we can reach our goals, finish a project, lose weight or whatever situation is going on. We can all get so tightly wrapped around the pole and we totally forget to see the humor in the moment. And trust me their is always humor behind the scenes - somewhere. Ok almost always.
I know - I know -everybody says - but NOOO you just don't understand - this is a serious situation or that is serious situation yadayadyada. Ok fine, maybe it is, but if you'd just get out … (29 comments)
to think is to create: Go outside and Play! Get over Yourself!
- 06/25/11 05:52 AM
Go outside and Play! Get over Yourself! Remember when you were just a kid and bored or in a funky mood? What would you Mom tell you to do? Go outside and Play! Get over Yourself! I can still hear my Mom saying that to myself and my siblings - all 8 of us. Good grief - get these kids out of the house and give me some peace and quiet is what she was probably thinking! Karen Fiddler posted Snap Out of it this morning and it reminded me of both my Mom and a coach I had years ago. Very rarely do I … (35 comments)
to think is to create: Brighten your Thoughts - Monday Motivation
- 03/06/11 11:21 AM
Brighten your Thoughts - Monday Motivation THE KEY to a successful life and business is focusing your thoughts on stuff that works! It takes practice to change your mind about stuff that doesn't make you feel good or brings you down. Think kinder thoughts and you'll feel better. It takes practice to stop thinking about something that isn't going the way you 'think' it should be going. Just release the struggle and let it go. In letting it go (at least for awhile) you may get an inspiration or two and some peace of mind. It takes practice to listen to your inner voice when you have that … (24 comments)
to think is to create: Ducks Quack - Eagles Soar.....
- 03/06/10 06:06 AM
Ducks Quack - Eagles Soar..... A like-minded friend sent me this story this morning. It is a story that I love and haven't read for a very long time. Apply this story to your real estate business (or any business for that matter) and watch your business grow - guaranteed! What is always so fun is how the right things or people turn up at the right time. Just this morning a few of us were talking about a book that is mentioned in this story "You'll See it When You Believe It" by Wayne Dyer - then this story showed up about an hour later. I knew it was … (18 comments)
to think is to create: Ask Your Broker - They Can Help YOU Inc
- 08/14/09 09:21 AM
Ask Your Broker - They Can Help YOU Inc. This past week, a number of agents have been talking to me about what's going on in their lives. Mostly it's about their lack of business. And of course after we talk about 'going back to basics' and getting past that hurdle, I bring out the big question: Who is the one person that is always with you? No, I don't want to hear your spouse, partner, child or friend's name. Who is always with you? Right - you've got it - it's YOU Inc. So you've got YOU running around in your head all day long and all night … (0 comments)
