Hello world!

Welcome all to my blog world! One of the fundamental rules of blogging is to manage your message aka your content and I plan to do so here. Something I know for sure is that truthful, relevant, timely, and positive messages are far more appealing than incendiary angling for blog attention.  I remember to do things now and do them well because Tempus Fugit -Carpe Diem! If your blogosphere surfing brings you here, stay a while and share a positive tidbit on your worldview.

So, how am I handling the current global economic shift?

 I have always liked the idea of seeking, with a compelling, positive outlook,  meaningful solutions to problems rather than waiting to salvage the remains of a problem gone awry. I am being more mindful of household spending and of my mental chatter; especially the type of chatter that wants to fixate on the “what ifs” of  global financial doom.

As a student of the IChing, I understand the message of Hexagram 41 – “Decrease” which when interpreted carefully, speaks to the cycle of life; the ebb/decrease and flow/increase of conditions. A time of decrease teaches us to manage our resources, seek new opportunities, regroup, and then prepare for and appreciate the subsequent increase that comes. I am fully aware of this cyclical nature of life, and of business; particularly in our current real estate marketplace.

 I believe that if each of us can manage what we currently have with a spirit of gratitude, remember to share some of our largesse with the poor, and feed the body, mind and spirit a diet of uplifting foods/thoughts/actions, the doors we open in the coming months will reveal great gifts.

While I do stay informed of current affairs through a variety of mass media reports, I am also reading/re-reading my collection of books (Man’s Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl is one) and watching movies that nurture my spirit and warm my heart. I would recommend seeing Slumdog Millionaire if you have not done so!I try to remember to do things now and do them well because Tempus Fugit -Carpe Diem

I would love to hear from you: How are you handling news of the current global economic shift? What impact has it had on your life?

Until Next Time…
