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...

Show some respect. He is not your companion. He is your Commander -In - Chief.

The blatant and horrid disrespect of our Nation's President started long before the State of the Union address where he was called a " liar"  and continues with  even worse name calling and racial attacks. Our President may be referred to as the following:  " Mr. President", "The Honorable Barack Obama", "His Excellency,  Barack Obama", and of course President Obama.  Nothing less is acceptable. Even referencing him by first name alone (as many people do) is out of line unless you are First Lady Michelle Obama. While I think we are a global family, I also think these ongoing episodes do much to  further segregate America and give it the image of our country as a place of disgrace, disuntity, and hate. Imagine trying to explain it to a 5 year old who followed the campaign and elections with her family and proudly declared that " Our President is Barack Obama and Ms. Michelle looks like my Nana." (*my heart breaks for ...

Ask and it is answered: Companies and Social Networks - April 2009

Should a company build it's own social network or should it just join the ones out there that already exist? I think many companies will want to build their own social networks in order to moderate, control, dictate , and ultimately impact the branding message in favor of the organization. When you decide to host a dinner party, your guests are typically going to eat some of what you have decided to serve. It's like that when a company builds their own social network. PR and Marketing end up being in full play. Should they doe this? Absolutely. NING, Linkedin, and even A SMALL WORLD allow for this type of action. However, as much as a company may try ..it is truly difficult to exist in a bubble and the newer platforms ,i.e. Twitter seem to make it less likely as people choose to lend their ears or not. Who doesn't want the data and qualitative feedback of the consumers that manifest the cult at their disposal?. Companies dependent on wide scale and diverse consumer demog...
