It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

12/19/2017

The PRESENT I always give to myself during this time.

While everyone is in the hustle and bustle of shopping, traveling and attending parties, there is one “present” I give myself every year - RELEASE.

I usually start in the beginning of November by evaluating this year’s results:

What were the VICTORIES of the year?
What happened that was so phenomenal I could not have dreamed it?
What unpleasant events, situations or circumstances took me by surprise that I do not want to repeat?

There is an old cliché that those who are unaware of history are destined to repeat it. This is more than a cliché. If you never evaluate where you are in life, especially what role you have played in getting there, you’ll stay in the land of I don’t know why these things keep happening to me. Even with the desirable things, you will operate in the valley of luck versus desired duplication, multiplication and replication.

Start today, not in the New Year. Take evaluation of your life – good, bad and indifferent – and immediately take the reins and decide how you will navigate the trajectory of your life. Even painful lessons can be road maps to success if you know how to leverage the value of what is taught.

Go in peace and be present every step of the way,

Are we becoming a society of “NO-Touch”?

Disclaimer: I am not endorsing, giving a pass or agreeing with any form of sexual abuse, harassment, rape or any inappropriate contact. No is No and, even if a No is never uttered, no one owns the right to use their power or authority to coerce, force or engage any individual in any action.

An interesting thing happens when you are a writer and motivational speaker: people invariably ask you your opinion and encourage you to address certain topics. I aim to please.

With the recent media blitz of sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct, I am overwhelmed by the number of experiences that women have shared with me. (Trust me, The Joy Guru #METoo writing campaign is in full effect. To apply or for more information, please click here.) But someone struck up a conversation that was thought provoking and led to the following question:

Are we becoming a society where we are eliminating the touch of a man?

This was like uncorking a bottle of champagne: conversations ERUPTED! I couldn’t help but consider the implications as well as the history. I am a staunch advocate of women standing in their power, knowing their worth and being liberated in their independence. However, I also value the power, worth and existence of men. We were created to accompany one another, not to be separated.

There is so much power in touch (of an appropriate nature): are we erasing the power? Where is the fine line drawn and are we on the fast track to delineating human connection?

I cannot wait to hear your thoughts! Feel free to invite friends to comment as well.
