Elevate Your Thinking. Transform Your World.
Many years ago, I had attended a personal development type of seminar. The speaker asked the participants to go back in time and to imagine they were five years of age. The seminar leader’s instructions were as follows… “close your eyes… and now in your imagination go back to the time when you were five years of age… look down …
From the outside looking in we were living a life that most people only dreamed of. We owned two successful businesses and had a big beautiful home on the water. We also had matching corvettes and a 50-foot yacht. I shopped ‘til I dropped, traveled often, and I didn’t have a worry in the world. I had a beautiful life, …
In a small midwestern town, named for its tall redwood trees and twin cascading waterfalls, a young woman falls in love and discovers the power of expressing the poetic voice within her. As I carefully walked down the narrow, winding trail to my destination, I could hear the rumble of the twin waterfalls several hundred feet away getting louder as …
Last year, I was at Bob Proctor’s Paradigm Shift seminar and my life was absolutely rocking. Over the last several years I had become a devoted student of Bob’s because … well … I did everything he told me to do and it all worked! Initially, I found this quite a shocking surprise but, over time, I came to depend …
I first met Bob Proctor in 1994. Shortly thereafter, I resigned my corporate job and began my own marketing agency, which included the great pleasure of working directly with Bob as his writer.

I’ve given my share of commencement addresses, and I confess it’s a head-swelling experience to tell a captive crowd how you think they ought to live their lives while wearing an academic robe and a very silly hat. After all, didn’t they come primarily to hear what you have to say? Actually, they didn’t. In fact, graduation speakers are impediments …
Have you ever lived in a state where there was no speed limit? I did. When you are young and love to drive fast, Montana in the 1990’s was the place to be! My boyfriend at the time lent me his gorgeous, high performance Porsche 911 for a business meeting I had ninety miles away. With a big smile on …
Suppose you’re an Olympic athlete and you hear that the only person who has a chance to beat you is ill and may have to withdraw. Are you overjoyed at your good luck or disappointed that you will not be able to compete against the very best? If you really love and understand sports, you ought to be disappointed. John …
Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, “Mother, you must come and see the daffodils before they are over.” I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead. Going and coming took most of a day–and I honestly did not have a free day until the following week. “I will come next Tuesday, …
Today is one of those rare days when I don’t have a list of scheduled things to do. My client meetings are done and I now have a lovely open afternoon. Of course, I could use this time to catch up on things (there’s always something to do), but that’s not where my brain is today. Today I’m focusing on …
