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.

Thanksgiving

This year, Thanksgiving occurs in Canada on October 10th.

So, to celebrate, I encourage you to say a deeply felt, genuine 'Thank You' to at least one person, on each of the next 3 days.  Look them in the eye, and say 'Thank You' in a way that you can be sure they've heard you and that you mean it.   Elaborate on why you are grateful, if it feels right.

Notice how the person receiving the thanks responds; how their face brightens, posture straightens, and attitude lightens.  Like a flower responding to sunshine, people blossom when they feel acknowledged and appreciated.

Those 2 simple words, spoken from the heart, can make such a positive difference to both the person hearing them and the person speaking them.

Happy Thanksgiving!
