Welcome

I believe excellence is more about how we live our lives than if we get 10 out of 10 on a test. So with this Blog I hope to inspire people to find the excellence in their lives. I'll be sharing ideas, articles and other bits that I come across in my day to day work and life - things that make me feel good, or inspire me. I hope you'll like them and that you'll pass them on.

Beginner's Grace

The grace to be a beginner is always the best prayer for an artist. The beginner’s humility and openness lead to exploration. Exploration leads to accomplishment. All of it begins at the beginning, with the first small and scary step.
Julia Cameron

I see this quote as speaking to each one of us. Whether or not you consider yourself an artist, creating is something we do every day. We choose our medium (or media) and create – every single day. I believe we are each creative (and thus, an artist) in our own way. In fact, you are doing it right now. You are using your thoughts to create. Every day you contribute something to the people around you, in your actions, and words. 
 
When the day offers you something new, allow yourself the grace to be a beginner and approach the opportunity with openness and curiosity.   Notice what the results are when you take that step.
