Between Your Regret, Reminiscence and All of Your Planning

My first InTheLifeRoom Podcast in 2016. I hope it blesses you.

That 10-second wait to hear this podcast is part of this lesson. There is anxiety when we have to stand in our current state and wait. Stay in your moment of quiet with confidence. What starts for you starts in the right time for you. You tend to lack nothing as much as you lack contentment in/with the current moment. Striving has its place. Don't strive for what other people have. You have a place to be that is ordained for you and only you. That grass you see on the other side of the fence is plastic. It really isn't where you want to be. You'll get there through grace. Confidence in getting there by being healthy and whole and happy in your present day while taking care to execute in a way that assures a good today is the new human imperative. Planning has its place. Don't get caught up in the game. The distance between planning and regretting is being. Know and execute your plan for today. Who you are right now is everything. What you do today is significant. It impacts that tomorrow which creates too much anxiety right now. Show up as your best self today. You , your friends and family, your employer and community and ....THE FUTURE want you content right now. We have a responsibility to be content here and now. A happy today is a birthright. Yours. That is the thing we all have in common. That birthright is internal for everyone.

Some thoughts on boys to MEN and I am not talking about the R&B group

My very smart, aware and ever evolving brother said to me a while back that there is and will always be a significant difference between boys and MEN. He shared a strong and poignant opinion that a lack of self respect often the self hatred , absence of love, abuse, or negative cultural conditioning will always impact whether or not someone who is biologically a man is truly that (an adult man) mentally and socially. He and I both believe that it is indicative most often in the way a man treats a woman. I can tell you some stories. There are boys over 30, 40 and even older and there are men under 20 years old walking this earth. I have a 2 year old nephew who runs to open the door for the women in the family and tries to take grocery bags and carry them to the table when we women enter the house with them.He's just a boy biologically and he is watching and learning from his father. I consider and would call those that are biologically men but not socially men .. "Old...

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 -...

The Things I will do Before You Are Gone....

Fully aware of how precious life is and remembering the tender, exciting and amazing muses that I have been blessed and no doubt favored to know.. I wrote this list. Enjoy it. Create a life you love. The Things I will do Before You Are Gone.© By Adrienne Wallace (June 2008) 1) I will tell you, "I love you more than anything ...except GOD." 2) I will squeal with delight when you have achieved something new or gotten more of what makes you happy. I will stay as you pursue your delight and be a part of you capturing it. 3) I will steal your pillowcase when you are out of the room and replace it with a fresh one. I will put the one I steal on my pillow so I can smell your essence when I nap or sleep. 4) I will hold your hand even if you were 'just my manicurist' and look into your eyes and say "Thank You"... Maybe you're touching hands all day, but I want you to remember that mine appreciates yours. They are so warm 5) I will wish you t...
