Choosing A Legacy

md_site_slider_1_03 Lead Lead Inspire orange wol

Everyone has a story . . . and each one of us, at some point in life, experiences something so unique, so personal that it changes us forever.  This experience can be positive or negative . . . it’s all in how you perceive it.  The question is – does it keep you in the past or does it move you forward?”

I thought I knew and understood my warm, soft-spoken, peace-filled Mother.  What I discovered while making a short documentary for a film class (a few years before her 2007 passing), is that she embodied incredible qualities that went undetected until she spoke and shared a life defining story that took us to Poland and World War II.  [Read more…]

A Reason, a Season, a Life Time

A Reason, a Season, or a Life Time?

For me, it’s the beginning of a new season. I’m super excited about speaking and bringing a new body of work called “Project Energetics – An Evolutionary Approach to Re-charge Project Management” to businesses and corporations.  Preparing for this transition is transformational and has brought to mind my all time favorite write-up about people and the timing of their appearance in our lives.

Enjoy “A Reason, A Season, or a Life Time.” 

People come into your life for a REASON, a SEASON or a LIFE TIME

When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. [Read more…]

Given Up Making Resolutions

DSCN0467

Yes, it’s true. I’ve given up making traditional resolutions!  For many years, instead of declaring a New Year’s resolution, I place my attention on creating an intent for the year through a single word.

An intent is more than a goal . . . it’s the driving force that fuels the overall experience and results you desire in your life – personally and professionallyIntent means knowing what you want to experience and directing your actions toward that outcome. By simply stating an intent, you gain the support of your subconscious mind to create an outcome that aligns with you.

This “New Year” approach is simple, fun to do and involves selecting a word (or two) that most resonates with you. It’s more of an art than a science.  [Read more…]

Gratitude – Let Me Count The Ways

I’ve got some gratitude record-keeping to attend to (smile) and my internal guidance is prompting me to share a few with you as well as a special invitation that you’ll learn more about at the end of the post. Over the past month, my daily gratitude practice has turned up the dial for extraordinary happenings and prosperity . . . At Home, At Play and At Work that seem to transmit to others!

GRATITUDE

At Home . . . with family and friends!

You may remember, last month I spoke about our daughter’s upcoming wedding.  What I learned (last year when our son got married and even more so this year is:) there’s so much more to the “special day” then 35 years ago when Jack and I got married.  Normally, my family will tell you this is true, I get a bit particular about hosting events and my perfection level seems to escalate exponentially to a point where I’m less fun to be around.

Face-to-Face With F.E.A.R.

As an entrepreneur, I love travel especially when there’s an opportunity to mix business with pleasure. That’s why I’m really excited about attending Caterina Rando’s “Breakthrough Luxury Retreat” in California later this month.

I’m looking forward to meeting and mingling with other like-minded businesswomen who are also ready to experience a quantum leap, toward living their ideal personal and professional life.  What I’m not so sure about is – one of the planned activities, a Napa Valley hot air balloon ride.   Although I love the idea of gently and peacefully soaring over lush vineyards and world-famous wineries, the thought of being in a “small open basket” attached to a colorful balloon terrifies me.

Here’s the skinny, a truth only a few people know about me . . . [Read more…]

Soleira Green is a global visionary and co-founder of the Visionary Network.  She knows a thing or two about being extraordinary and was moved to write about the following inspirational TED.com video.
