By Dawn Onley More than a decade ago, I began creating an annual “Vision Board” to help motivate and guide me to accomplish my goals. Each year, I choose words and images that align with my vision for the year, cut them out from magazines and glue them to my board. If I can’t find…

Filling Up to Finish the Journey
By Dawn Onley In approximately 10 days, we will be mid-way through this year. Although hard to believe how quickly the time has flown by — the same as every year — the milestone marks as good a time as any to assess where we started in January, where we’re headed in December, and where we are…
Take the First Step, Today
By Dawn Onley There is so much emphasis placed on getting to the finish line that what’s forgotten is how intimidating it can be to start. Taking that first step toward accomplishing a goal takes guts. It is bold. It signals to the universe that we are ready — even though we don’t have a…
Driving to a Place Called Persistence
By Dawn Onley Can you imagine heading out in your car for a family vacation, driving a few hours and then turning around to come back home because it took too long to get there? You wouldn’t do that, right? That’d be nuts! But actually, I’d bet you have done this before. We all have at…

Small Wins, Big Gains
By Samantha McKenzie I am so proud of myself. In November I set a small goal to improve my health. This came after a really good scolding from my doctor. I can give a 100 reasons why I wasn’t taking better care of myself at the time, but I know that none of my excuses would…

You’re Almost There!
By Samantha McKenzie There’s always that moment when you see your dreams unfolding and your plans coming together – you can almost taste your success. It’s at these times when you can feel your goals – like you can almost reach out and touch them in the short distance ahead. This is confirmation that you’ve been seeking….
Hang On To Your Faith
By Samantha McKenzie “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Matthew 17:20 I used to carry…
