I was taught as a child that we are each put on earth to achieve something that no one else will accomplish.  I will be on alert.

I will find happiness in life’s challenges and tap into my goodness, compassion, and forgiveness to discover the opportunity that lies within them.

I will find joy, fulfillment, and value by seeking experiences that grow my mind, heart, education, and creativity.

I will seek a successful balance of faith, pleasure, work, and friendship.

I will be worthy of the respect and admiration of others.

I will respect the importance of dreaming even if at times the fluidity of this experience escapes me.

I hope all find their purpose and treasure the responsibility.

June to January since my last post.  Time has moved to a New Year – 2014. I am currently painting and taking time to update my Personal Mission Statement, creative view, and leadership goals.  I ended 2013 reading John Maxwell’s “Some People Win and Some People Learn” with a discussion group that shared my energy and love of learning.  What a treat.

I’ve not finished my 2014 Personal Mission Statement but will share soon.  It will include, of course, a continued commitment to creativity and painting, but will also include continued education, goal setting, and an appreciation for my personal team. A team of individuals that makes me a better person and visa versa with each team member.  Find your team and grow.

Happy New Year!
