Before My Last Breath

“Heaven on earth means you are absolutely delighted with your life just the way it is. You aren’t trying to fix yourself, manifest more money, a better job or a bigger house. You find the sacred right here and right now. That is also where you connect with the creative energy that wants to express in your life. Abundance comes as we learn to trust the Creative source inside us. We can’t do that when we are busy finding fault with our lives.” Paul Ferrini I love this quote. It totally captures the feeling I want to live my life by. It grounds me to the present moment, opens a channel for gratitude, and invites unlimited possibility into my life. Tapping into what Paul terms the "Creative Source" I can appreciate everything I experience throughout my day without judgment. So many times my mind will have a strong opinion about what happens during the day to day events. When I connect to this quote I can literally feel a feeling of openness and harmony with everything I

I know, I know, again with the disappearing act. My sincere apologies. I have no excuse except that the words and inspiration have their own timeframe. Anyway.

Or in my case how do you teach an old dog a new trick? Can’t be done you say? I beg to differ. This old dog awoke one day and saw for a brief moment that I had literally created all the circumstances in my life – including the ones that were at that time br

First of all many, many thanks to those of you who supported my ride to benefit The Jimmy Fund last weekend. It was an amazing, inspiring, and moving experience. Plus I had a blast riding my bicycle across eastern Massachusetts. That was easy compared to some people’s stories of survival and loss. So thank you! Today I’m told by those who know such things is a very auspicious day. Ok I’ll buy that. Even though it feels like any other normal day. I awoke. That’s a miracle right there. I talked to some of my employees, a couple of subs. Dealt with the usual client stuff. Had a chance to watch my youngest son do his breakfast show. Gave a kiss to my honey before she went off to baby swim class. So nothing extraordinary about the day so far. Except this; in all the mundane routine that fills my day there is this gleam of magic. It has never happened quite like this before. This day I mean. There is a huge space right outside my office waiting to be filled. Sorry Mom but he
