 Today  YOU CAN  Tuesday, Jan. 10 2012 - Everyday... by Adrienne A. Wallace    Everyday..... YOU might work, grow, strive... To know what fills your emptiness. To have a clean heart and pristine conscience. To speak to what you know. To be without envy or jealousy. To understand the danger of a loose tongue. To be self aware. To understand and contemplate the consequence of your actions. To create and respect boundaries. To be accountable and transparent. To commit to your alleged role with regard to the values of others. To align only with the best and do your best. To speak only life and confirmation. To be honest. To be responsible for the energy that you bring into any room. To reject gossip and slime. To ask for forgiveness. To respect that there may be a nail in the coffin. To give truthful disclosure. These are the acts of noble, loyal and inspired beings.  - Adrienne A. Wallace

I AM moved by the calling and the theme presented this week by some of the most wonderful people I know.  The silent sufferers, the angry one, the searcher and wanderer.  Wonderful and wanting something "different."    You and they are  what I like to call Children of the Divine...just like me.   So,  I have a message for you in the thoughts to follow below ...because we are not that separate and all could use this pause and reflection:  N o matter what side of the aisle you stand on, no matter who or what you pray to, no matter what it is you do for a living,  I do  think you will agree that we often do not know what someone has been presented in our lives to do.  We often put an assignment on people and our terrible E (dging) G (od) O (ut) has us trying to force folks to fit a mold most convenient for us.  Let me assure you that no matter who you are or who you believe yourself to be, that behavior from YOU d...

Today YOU CAN:  Rid yourself of insecurity and constant seeking. I think that a happy and healthy person has really made a successful transition into adult life when he/she has learned to maintain personal subsistence and shelter. When a person can be defined by what they contribute to the world and have more personal relationships of good than failure; they are more solid, stable, graceful. When every person; especially the opposite sex is not boxed into having a "role" with that person and allowed to choose and just be a man or woman -- simply a cohabitant in a grand universe, that is adulthood in action. Likewise, a person hasn’t fully matured until he/she has also learned to provide emotional energy for him/herself. Chasing affection, chasing the wrong type of attention, expecting everyone to be interested in you and give specific attention that you are starved for is immature,ridiculous, and can be a big turn-off. Trying to deceive others into believing t...

Dear friends, Thank you for BEING here this year, despite your struggles, no matter your failures;  with humility and joy during all of your wins.  There are many people not giving GOOD LOVE in the life that they are living right now. They are angry.  They are upset  about not having material things when they are truly in a space and status that is "above basic" and  they are finding it hard to reflect on what matters.   There are plenty of complaints that 2011 was "not it" for them. The year was supposed to deliver something unto them and somehow failed at it.  The TRUTH is:  LIFE rarely gives us anything  that we don't show up for! When I get to talk to a friend,  that is it for me. When I see my parents, that is it for me. When I have food on my plat e each day not to mention a fridge and pantry of options, that is it for me.  When the children in my life laugh,tell me their stories, cry and seek my comfort...that is it fo...

The topic that has been discussed on my twitter and Facebook since Sunday, 11/13/11 is "elegance." Here is today's blog. There are no coincidences as there are many people working to achieve this. Since we are all a work in progress, I hope it helps. "Elegance" is about how you decide to stand in the spaces that life presents professionally and personally.  Both scenarios are like a glass floor. You exercise grace, care and caution as you walk across it and even when you are  standing still. The greatest and optimum success of your work life will not be determined by your credentials (MBA, PhD, JD, CPA or whatever else): the fact that you know more than others, that you have "backing", or marketing or system building techniques. While these can all be important to  have or cultivate, they alone do not amount to success. It will be determined by your ability to suspend your ego and adopt and authenticate the vision behind the business you ...

Dear death- You are a scornful and deceptive son of a bitch! You like to come along and rob us of the people we most love at times that we would least expect. Well let me be clear on this: I acknowledge your sad and dreadful way and still you cannot have yesterday, last week, last month, last year, or any of our past and to be completely clear ... You, death cannot suppress a legacy or the memories of those you rob from our lives. No death can ever eliminate LOVE and the celebration of a life that touched us and enriched our time here. We already know that time is infinite, but our bodies are limited. You will not keep us from telling the stories, playing the music, dancing , sharing with the next generation, and you sure enough cannot and will not stop our faith and prayers. You have not suppressed the inspiration; so whenever you come you may take a body, but spirit reigns supreme. And death ...yes we will shed tears but they are not for you. Do what you must. We know we have...

    BALANCE AND BREATH AND BALANCE AND BREATH   LIFE!!!!   LIFE ... has a rhythm...   YOU!!!!   YOU... deserve to be here... BALANCE that which you think you must "handle." Feel your breath.  Let others hear you breathe.  You have to allow them to come close for that. Stand in your talent.  Embrace it no matter who is in life's "audience."  And all that you BALANCE will shield and shelter you.  Turn everyone and thing off but this and watch.  Want to share? Tweet
