Read moreAPPRECIATING THE ART IN ARCHITECTURE...
Our world is a little harsh right now. OK, ALOT harsh! But there is also much beauty and inspiration around us…if we’ll only pay attention. I’ve been blessed to be taught how to slow down, pay attention and better engage with heart, mind and senses. Considerably more impactful than selfies and camera clicks.

Most of us don’t have linear paths in our quest for career, self and a rewarding life. There are usually many variables that we’ll encounter as we engage partners, business colleagues and our Friend In The Mirror in this struggle for self-realization.

It’s that time of the Season for New Year’s Resolutions. Always an interesting challenge to address, ponder, pontificate and ignore…though we know we should know better. So, no matter our previous success record, we should examine our efforts and determine to improve. Our communities need our best selves, and resolutions such as these can improve our odds for success. Come join me and consider your possibilities.

A Past iACT (Interfaith Action of Central Texas) Austin Special Event…
Let me introduce my mining pan metaphor. We’ve got lots of holes to patch in our fragile world. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with the magnitude of challenge, but we have considerable resources and lots of communal energy to apply to their improvement. It starts with our Friend in the Mirror…joining others in working TOGETHER for constructive change. Our children and communities are counting on us. Let’s rise to our occasion.
