Rollover Moments

Thumbnail image for Rollover Moments by Brooke Leigh Sheldon November 22, 2011

I talk to you all the time about the moments that count. However, I understand there are a lot of you out there who think that a bunch of your moments do not count for as much as you’d like them to. So you’ve asked me if, well, you can store them somewhere to use [...]

Cynicism is a cinch

Thumbnail image for Cynicism is a cinch by Brooke Leigh Sheldon June 29, 2011

I have come to a realization. Cynicism is a cinch! Perhaps you know some people who are true masters of cynicism. Let me help you identify them. They are pretty easy to recognize. They may say things like: “It won’t work!” “You can’t do it.” “No. It’s impossible.” “You’ll never do be able to.” “We [...]

Who will fight for them?

Thumbnail image for Who will fight for them? by Anthony P Johnson April 13, 2011

Too many prisons, but not enough good schools. Too many weapons, but not enough educational tools. Not enough effective teachers, but way too many fools. Too many students piled in one classroom–35 up to 45–and possibly more. Over 60% of them are academically incapable of passing — and more than 50% will drop out of [...]

Thumbnail image for How To Be Real: Be Present to Life’s Sweetness by Lauren Rosenfeld April 13, 2011

Let Your Light Shine

  “As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people the permission to do the same.” Nelson Mandela As I reflect on these words I think about the many people I have been blessed to meet, whose light shone brighter than the Northern Star on a clear starlit night. As I ponder these [...]

Every day you get up. Every day……. You do. You wake up. Now, are you one of those people who greets the day!?! Or do you stare at it? I spend a lot of time blinking at the ceiling. It’s white. It stares back at me. My eyes are blue. I like to fancy myself [...]
