Month: December 2017

We are now a few days away from 2018. As we are starting to reflect on 2017, we are taking inventory of what happened this year. What did we accomplish at work? Did some of us get let go, or find a new job? Did we get a promotion? Did some of us start their own business or practice? How far have some of us gone to get what we wanted? Do we have any remorse about anything we may have done to others at work? Are any of us feeling we could have done better at our job? Did we overshare our lives, exposing our personal …

As we are approaching the new year, we are thinking about what the new year will bring us. Are we ready to step into the new year? Some of us are rejoicing to move into the new year to transition to a new YOU. Leaving 2017 behind with all the drama, the changes and the upsets we had to go through. We are shedding the energy of this year, and starting to channel 2018 energy. Planning for a better start to the new year. We are looking at a positive year, the year of love. The year of rediscovery, the year of creativity, …

As we are moving through our journey, our spirit is guiding us if we are willing to listen. Love is what makes us who we are. We could be wounded spirits but when we can heal and make peace, we can finally be whole. When we are whole we can radiate unconditional love, the pure gold of beauty flowing through us. We are one with the Universe. Each breath we take, each moment we can exhale life we are the light that brings positivity into this world. We are beautiful inside and out no matter what the “Standard” most people …

We are constantly saturated with social media, over sensationalized news. We are starting to lose our sight on individuality, privacy has become a luxury, over sharing has become the new normal. Everyone has an opinion about anything and everything. Some of us have not learned to mind our own business but rather mind someone else’s business. Personal lives are being exposed at the detriment of some, others rejoicing to live their lives through someone else’s life. The reality is, we only have our own life, as good or bad as our journey is we cannot live through someone else’s eyes. …

It is Christmas Day, I hope you were on Santa’s list. The aroma of fresh brewed coffee is filling the house. Christmas music is playing in the background everyone is busy opening their gifts. The kids are over the moon, the spirit of Christmas is among us. We are feeling the peace and happiness. Under the Christmas tree what is left is opened boxes and wrapping paper. The tree is lit up and looking magical. As the morning passes friends and family are coming into the house. Hugging and blessing everyone, joy is filling the house. You have a sense of …

In today’s essay I am looking to see if someone has ever experimented with the Universe. Let me explain, have you ever asked a question in your head or out loud? Actually, you received the answer via perfect synchronicity or hearing it from a total stranger? I have a couple of stories to shares on that subject. A year ago, I was looking to learn about the WordPress program, I wasn’t familiar with it. I had an opportunity to sign up for an online training course. I did not have a chance to complete the online training, because I had too many …

I would like to go further with the word transparent, this time the focus is about us. How transparent are you in your life? I have seen a lot of people speaking about transparency but again the same question comes along. How transparent are you? Have you always told everyone the truth? Do you always communicate efficiently, or have you misled others? Do you share via social media your every move? In social settings do you always say what you want to say? Does your mate always know where you are or what you think? Have you shared your deepest …

I watched the movie “The Circle” it was an interesting movie about transparency and what we are experiencing with social media at work and at home. How little privacy we have. Back to real life, how transparent is the company you are working for? Do you know everything that is happening from merger/acquisition, to layoffs and reorganization? How often is your company communicating with you about the financial health and goals for the year? Do you know what the five-year plan is for your company? Do you have any insight on how your company overall growth? When we speak about transparency …

In today’s essay, I would like to visit the subject of integrity. I hope everyone has some form of integrity. What happens when our integrity is being challenged at work? At some point in our career we have been placed in a situation where our integrity has been challenged. When individuals who were focused on using “short cuts” to get their projects done, had requested us to do things that were not, should I say, “kosher”. How did you actually respond to them? Did you stand your ground trying to make them understand it was not compliant? Did you just ignored their …

We are in the final stretch for the holidays, this is the week most of us are going to be running errands. We still have much to do, from last minute gift shopping, to the company’s’ holiday party but most of all for the Christmas Eve and Christmas day’s dinner. Hosting a dinner party can be stressful.  And to top all that, family and friends who are coming in to stay for a few days, we must make sure everything is in order. Even though it is a joyful time we are busy and forgetting a bit about the spirit of Christmas. …
