SURRENDER



What a big word huh?

Just seeing it makes you question, hesitate, resist.
What do we think we are giving up?
Is it control?
Is it loss of control?
Is it an act of believing something has greater will than we do?

Are we revealing that which we think is a secret when we "surrender"?

Could we be relinquishing something that is or that we perceive as power?

I have come to learn that surrender is a good thing.
Doing it without expectation of what comes next is satisfying.

Therefore, it is not I surrender because X or Y will happen.
It is in fact the truth that I surrender because I can and the ability to just do that is what it is to really harness one's power.

Surrender. Do it now.


It is for me ...picking up my camera and heading out to point it at whatever I see in the world. TODAY

I have not done that in too long. I love my own photography.

It is dancing on the street without the permission of a street festival and with a friend who feels old and necessary while the rhythm is brand new.

It is liking the work I do and the people I do it with. Seeing it rich with possibility because I come in each day with new eyes and that so do they.

These are the gifts of surrender. I get all of this ...because I did, I do, ..you could too.

SURRENDER.

LETTING GO....

  L-E-T-T-I-N-G    G-O You have seen these words before..yes? Very simply written in nine letters. “L e tting  go .” Why does it make you uncomfortable?  It is simply an action that you as a human being experience every single day, just by physically and chemically existing.  It is an action that occurs when you have complete trust in your intuition ; that heaven sent voice inside of you. You know the one you may not always agree with, but the angels are so fond of you ..they send it into your ears, head, heart , and sometimes your eyes? If you are reading this your eyes open and they shut very quickly ..it is called "blinking" but in fact it is letting go and it happens very quickly. As we blink old light goes away and we allow new light to come in …seeing the next moment. As you turned on your computer or device you may have pressed a button, touched the screen, flipped a switch. As you clicked on your mouse, stroked and released keys on the k...

Where Did It Go? The question that comes when ownership is lost.

" Where Did It Go? " This is a common question asked about time, goodness, old regimes, and old relationships, memory and other than that... money and misplaced keys. Where did it go? We hear this amongst those of us who have not set a strategy and intention for what we have. This also the question that comes particularly from those of us who become all too confident in what we have but do not own. Ownership of one's talent,work, innovation, relationships and contribution is either an old or new concept in many places. What is encouraging is the ability to list our criteria for ownership and then be honest about what we truly own. Here are a few that I was thinking of today: Ownership of material things - You paid for it , don't owe anything for it to anyone Ownership of relationships - You tell the truth, engage with grace, and express mutual respect without excuses or references to what does not apply to the person you are relating to Ownership of innovation -...

Live Your Life As if Everything Is Rigged In Your Favor ..Even in Technology

I have an educational background with a top American engineering school and an Ivy League University. Society does not expect to see someone that looks like me on the campuses much less in those classrooms. Nevertheless, I did that. Several years ago, I had a White co-worker tell me that my voice on the phone and my knowledge base made him assume that I was much older and also White; so, he was shocked when he met me. He was also quite dumb because … I mean, use LinkedIn! I told him never assume anything about someone’s race based on the sound of their voice. I was already clued into the assumptions and bias that people have and offended that intelligence and articulation are deemed ” White” traits. The fact of the matter is that there is no gender or color for intelligence. However, if you ask Apple or Amazon – you’ll find that “Siri” and “Alexa” voices are predominate in their AI. I’ll leave it at that and expect the Tech world to act on what they already seem to know. I have...
