A Month Of Gratitude
November is officially upon us, and with November comes button-popping holiday feasts and the giving of thanks. There could not be a better time to center in on gratitude.

"Halloween Is Over. So Why Do I Still Choose To Wear A Mask?"
It's time to take off the mask.
Frank (founder of Conscious Ink) and I were talking the other day. I was sharing with him how I participated in the T-Rex (blow-up costume) Stampede that happens at the end of October every year in downtown Nashville.

5 Steps To Embracing The Now
How many times have you found yourself in a situation you didn't anticipate and also didn't welcome? Maybe an event you attended was not what you expected, a blind date wasn't what you anticipated, or a job you accepted didn't turn out to be exactly what you thought. How did you react/respond? Did you grin and bear it and count the minutes or did you find the door and get the heck out of dodge?
"There's nothing to fear...That's it. End of quote."
FEAR. It's really quite comforting.
Crazy man say what???
