and the pursuit of being more wise, loving, present, and in a state of grateful flow in life!Pay it Forward
BB shares a story written in her book, “Build Your Business’, where the act of 'paying it forward', in however small a manner, can change your world and someone else’s, in a very positive manner.
Priorities Are What You Invest Your Time In.
In our busy work-a-day world it’s difficult at times to discern what our priorities are. We often say one thing is a priority but we don’t spend (invest) time on it. Visit with BB today [...]
Un-Plug Therapy…a Process!
I’m on a tear this morning…in for a routine checkup, my doctor’s results, ‘you’re off the charts with beyond sagging adrenals signaling a body functioning on fumes and adrenalin.’ ‘You’re kidding,’ I hear myself shout [...]
Happiness as a Choice! The Common Denominator Being YOU!
You’ve heard the expression….’where ever you go, there you are’! True, isn’t it. So how are things going in YOUR ‘happiness’ department? I like to tell stories and tend to repeat my favorite ones. I [...]
The difficulty in being green…but I look good in green!
I feel a bit green today, no, not something I ate, more as in Kermit the frog 'it's not EASY being green'). The Universe is doing its job of tossing me 'washing machine-like,' back and [...]
To my Father, Bob with gratitude in a million directions…
I recently stumbled upon the eulogy I wrote for my father, Bob Banta, in 2007. I feel so fortunate to FEEL the presence, the essence and light of my father within myself as I write [...]
Willing To Be Wrong? Nourishing Ourselves!
I had a chat with a friend recently declaring emphatically, as I’m known to do, that I wanted to embrace a more expansive, less frenetic approach toward my world. Sidenote: this is not the sort [...]
It’s Best to Laugh
I love to laugh. My mother and I could make each other laugh as big as anyone! She was just FUNNY. Her world view, despite a tremendous amount of adversity, was one where her glass [...]
Love Yourself Free….The Wrecking Ball
I’m the first one to admit, I’m a flawed human being. With the passing of years, I know inside myself I am a good, loving and well meaning individual. I don’t dwell on the negative, [...]
Navigating a NEW World…Communication As Our Map.
Sitting high above the clouds on an immense plane headed far east to Shanghai, realizing the difficulty of spending 14 hour enroute with no technical devices to contact my work or friends, I twitch and [...]
Necessary Losses…Loving Forward
This has been my brave week of letting go ‘things’ I love dearly. I learned on Tuesday that my nearly 13 year old ‘pup’s’ distended belly was not weight gain, but a malignant tumor. Worse, [...]
Cornbread and Casseroles…You MIGHT Be Right?
Let’s face it, relationships are where we learn the MOST about ourselves. My mother shared a four word phrase with me at a young age. ‘You might be right,’ has served me for decades. Having [...]
One Can Bike Ride to Benefit Gwinnett Co-Op
I was asked to report on a cycling event I participated in....our usual reporter of events, sharing who was there, highlights of the ride, etc., was unable to attend. This cycling thing...is much, MUCH bigger [...]
Pedal, Just Pedal!
Being a driven personality can be misleading to folks looking in from the outside. I have a lot happening in my life at all times, (as no doubt do MOST of us), but I’m finding [...]
Laissez les bon temps roulet!
