How’s everyone doing this bright Monday morning?  Did anyone besides me spend some time yesterday considering The Six Steps and solidifying your Desire?

I’m a numbers person, and as Spencer sat on the couch watching the Olympics, I sat and reviewed some historical figures and contemplated my budget.  He loving called me a bean counter.  Well, someone’s got to do it.  Until the day that I have more beans than I can count! read more

Napoleon Hill tells us that Persistence is the sustained effort necessary to induce faith.   It feels like even the sun had to be persistent this morning to make it’s break through the clouds!

So yesterday I told you that the first few paragraphs of Hill’s 8th Chapter on Persistence really spoke to me.   If you are still reading my blog, no doubt you also have some interest in being more abundant!   I hope that at the end, you too will take a moment to follow his instructions.   It’s the first test to see if you are really ready and willing to do what’s necessary …. To stop procrastinating, get some ideas churning, and put a game plan together … read more

I was happy for the clouds this morning. As I waited for the sunrise that never came, trying to compose my thoughts. I feel like I could write a book here …

I spent most of my day yesterday, procrastinating. Reflecting.

A couple of things showed up in my Facebook feed, like divine messages from that Infinite Intelligence I so often talk about.

It started by a fellow blogger asking: “What is the difference between “giving up” and “letting go”? read more

This morning’s post goes out to my dear friend Bridgette Kossor, who appears to have suffered a slight stroke yesterday morning. And no doubt the heart shaped clouds formed up just for her  … I felt it as they came into being.  ❤

So, my dear, the lord has given you another chance. When Bridgette called me yesterday morning, she was already beating herself up for not taking better care of herself. I gently reminded her not to live in regret …

To quote Neme Sis: “Regret is a waste of time. There is only the eternal now.” read more

I was up late last night, texting with a few friends on facebook.  So between a late night, and then multiple very windy rain showers waking me up last night, I slept straight through sunrise.  But isn’t this rainbow from yesterday a real treat! read more

“I am a Compassionate Capitalist.  And proud of it!”

Yesterday, I was chatting with a friend.  And she mentioned that she is struggling with this nagging voice of fear inside her head.  The one that tells her she’ll be a failure, that no one will be interested, so why do it?

I think all of us are familiar with that voice.   And who’s voice is this anyway?  And how do we overcome it?

I’m really looking forward to the upcoming chapters on overcoming procrastination and the six basic fears. read more

“You go ahead, stand still, or go backwards in life.  Your objective should be to go ahead.”
~ Napoleon Hill

Good morning friends.    Today, we continue on with our self inquiry and taking a long, hard look at the 31 Major Causes of Failure as listed in Napoleon Hill’s classic “Think and Grow Rich”.

I’ve already shared with you the first 15 causes.  And I must say, it appears that this list pushed a few buttons out there 🙂

A number of you wrote to me expressing deep desires to make changes.   This is fantastic !!! read more
