This is an excellent little movie about how some people have re-created their lives.

Sadly most people don’t think about taking control of their own destiny until the winds of change force their hand.

The people in this film, and more than a dozen that I have personally spoken with, exude joy and love to say that the day they [...]

Building a Cathedral

A traveler came upon a group of three hard-at-work stonemasons, and asked each in turn what he was doing.

The first said, “I am sanding down this block of marble.”

The second said, “I am preparing a foundation.”

The third said, “I am building a cathedral.”

This story has been repeated thousands of times, each with it’s own twist [...]

This is a followup to a previous entry (IttyBiz) that I felt compelled to write because I wanted to point out something that Naomi does which I find to be quite amazing. Simple, yet smart!

Take a look at her Contact page: http://ittybiz.com/contact/ to see what I’m talking about.

This is really great. I saw the movie, which was excellent, but this was my first exposure to the actual man. I am inspired.

Thinking vs. Creating

Toby — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 20:48:10 +0000

And there was a sibling that had some interesting ideas, not sensational or wildly creative necessarily, but workable. The difference is that the sibling spoke about the ideas, wrote them [...]

You already know

Toby — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 20:44:50 +0000

Well, I am here to tell you, my friend…. You already know.
