Set The Direction

My Journey to Me-The Discovery

This post doesn’t come from my thoughts or things that are happening in my life. I got this post from a friend who forwarded it to me from another friend.  The message was so profound and so necessary for personal growth, the theme of this blog, that I was compelled to share it on this blog.  Here it is:

What you think of yourself has a major impact on what you do with your life. Think more positively about yourself and your world, and every area of your life will reflect it. Continue reading “Set The Direction” →

What Color Are You?

My Journey to Me-The Discovery

If you read my blog regularly, you know I have fallen in love with  Pinterest, a website where people share their interests via photos (pins) with comments.  I especially like the inspirational quotes I find.  This one shouted at me the other day:

what color is your attitude

Whether you realize it or not, you have control over your thoughts and life through your attitude.   Continue reading “What Color Are You?” →

It’s Not Summer Til You Go To The Beach!

My day at the beach was perfect!  The weather and water was warm – just right for sitting for hours .  The sky was blue with only a few clouds drifting across it.  The word for the day was RELAX!. Click on the picture above to enjoy my photos from the day.

You Are Not The Center Of The Universe

My Journey to Me-The Discovery

Very often, we start things with the purpose of gaining money or fame or something else for ourselves.  But what we don’t realize is the real purpose is to help someone else.  We may not know the person when we start or we may meet him or her while we are going along the way.  And it’s always several people – it’s never just one person.

One of the tenets of personal growth is to get your mind off of you.  You are not the center of the universe.  Believe it or not, Continue reading “You Are Not The Center Of The Universe” →

The Book

Book Update – June

My Journey to Me-The Discovery

A quick note here cause I’m winding down.  Or gearing up, depending upon how you look at it.

 I printed out my entire book two weeks ago.  I’m in the process of doing what I call Phase One editing.  Phase One is me editing for grammar, spelling and punctuation.  I’m also making sure the sentences and paragraphs flow together and there are no gaps in information.  To my surprise I’m re-learning or reminding myself of many personal growth concepts I wrote about.  Continue reading “Book Update – June” →

The Book

Book Update – April

My Journey to Me-The Discovery

Ever see a scene in a movie where a person is running toward a place, but instead of the place getting closer, the place keeps moving further away from the person?  That’s how I felt about my book.

I’ve been writing and editing, but the end seemed no where in sight.  That is until the other day when I decided to give a status report to my publisher and my accountability partner.  I inventoried my work and was very surprised.  This is what I discovered:

1- There is a working title for the book which is huge because I wanted one that would grab someone’s attention and make that person want to pick up the book and read it (no, I’m not ready to tell you yet)

2 -There are 17 substantive chapters: 12 are done subject to a few more tweaks before they are submitted to my publisher, 3 are being drafted and 2 need to be written.

3- There are 5 reference/informational chapters, 2 are finalized.

Wow!  The end is in sight.

Check back in May for another update. Smiley
