'Karen and Jay reflect on why keeping ‘the long run’ in mind is the key to lasting success and happiness.' We live in a world that loves the quick fix. The shortcut. The overnight success. But when we look around at the people we admire most — the folks who build great families, great businesses, great communities — what stands out isn’t what they did in the moment, but what they did in the long run. The long run is where character is proven. It’s where patience becomes stren

Getting Together for the Holidays ‘Karen and Jay share thoughts on the importance of getting together with family – especially during the holidays.’ It’s that time of year again when the holidays are upon us. Times get busy. So much to do as we approach Thanksgiving and then Christmas. And, with all this activity it’s easy to lose sight of what is vitally important. The magic of families coming together – enjoying each other’s company and sharing a special love. As we mov

It’s in these moments that we need to be able to take a d

Generate the Positive Energy… Jay shares thoughts on how we each have the ability to shine radiant, positive light – and although not always easy, have the power to face our challenges with confidence, hope and excitement. It’s easy to get discouraged. Especially at this time of year, as it gets dark earlier. Starts to get cold. No more Daylight Savings Time. More likely to be stuck at home. All these things conspire – and they do have their effect on us. But in truth, we don

How many times in your life have you had the experience of disappointment. You were headed in what you thought was a good direction. There was opportunity ahead – and then – without warning – the door abruptly closed on that wonderful new opportunity.

Good Vibrations! ‘Karen and Jay share the excitement of good vibrations.’ Bubbling, contagious enthusiasm. It’s infectious. Creates energy. And it’s driven by vibrations. Energy fields that give us the positive upbeat feeling that we can transfer to the people around us. So, when the Beach Boys say, “I’m pick’n up good vibrations. She’s giving me excitations,” it’s more than just a thought – it’s a description of how the science actually works. When we step into a room with a

Sparkle with Your Smile!!! 'Karen and Jay share the joy of laughter!' A good hearty laugh can lighten up your spirits, bring joyful energy and as we all know, has contagious positive effect for those around us. Karen and I love to laugh and smile.
