So, there are many definitions of work–the one that resonates with me is, “be engaged in physical or mental activity in order to achieve a purpose or result, especially in one’s job; do work.” Perhaps, the key word for us to ponder is ‘engaged’.

But isn’t this what life is…really? Just a bunch of transitions strung together like beads…or pearls…depending on your mindset. I’d suggest we see them as pearls...

I believe there is a Force—an energy that’s available to us that inspires us toward our dreams; supports us in our despair and heartache, and leads us to goodness and Love.

My best friend snapped this picture recently while leaving Philadelphia. I’m trusting that maybe the person in the Jeep read my book, Back From Heaven’s Front Porch, or better yet this is a principle they’ve practiced for a long time.

I’ve been pondering lately the mindset of kindness that many of us hold. And while on the surface it is a good thing, it may also not serve us well. It came to me that I should write about this as I stood at the teller window in the bank last week.
