Your Passion Project Week #5: Pivot
Identify your passion. Weave it in to song in a way that creates beautiful harmony. Become aware so you can let it flow in a way that brings value to your life. Pay attention. When you are truly aware you might find that you are being drawn away from a passion....
Your Passion Project Week #4: Balance?
Last week I was able to offer you the beautiful notion of harmonious passion. Music connects. It stirs our souls. A new passion almost always starts like that—beautiful, warm, exhilarating, fun, a little scary (in a good way). Harmonious. And then often, when the...
Your Passion Project Week #3: Harmonious Passion

I have recently suffered from something that fortunately doesn’t knock me off my training game too often. When it creeps in it freaks me out and then forces me to take a good look. Lack of motivation. I am not claiming to be super human. Nor do I have...
