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.

Find Some Joy Today

Funny where we find inspiration.  It's everywhere, I guess, and often shows up when we least expect it.

I saw this quote recently in a New York Times magazine.  It was a tiny article, but it packed a punch and stayed with me for days.  It inspired me to get over my, 'Oh, I'll get to it later' attitude about blogging. 

How to Find Joy in Life
"When I was in the hospital - I spent 8 months in rehab, and I almost died - I decided that I was going to make sure I had some fun every single day.  It might be a play or a movie, or it might be going by a gallery and seeing a show.  Often, it's eating.
Chuck Close

Why do we feel we have to wait for something dramatic to happen before we get to experience joy?  Why do we put it off?  Why not experience it every day; before (as Joni Mitchell so accurately sang) the Big Yellow Taxi shows up.

Find some joy today.  You deserve it.
