Yup the good ol’ Golden Rule, or as Bill and Ted would say “Be excellent to each other!”. A short lil reminder here… love all yall 😍.

Fear not and embrace the day! Forget all of the negative FEAR acronyms (False Evidence Appearing Real) and others NSFW lol... here's a good one: Face Everything And Rise. Yes, fear is real, but no, it does not control our lives. Not now, not ever. Have a great day and…

Take a step forward and stop waiting for the other shoe to drop! When things snowball a bit - not in our favor - we can sometimes get caught up "waiting for the other shoe to drop" and lose focus of the good things we have in store. That first…

This too shall pass; whether it's a crummy virus or just stuff driving you bananas in your life, sometimes you've just gotta let it run its' course. When you've tried every possible remedy, remember... this too shall pass. Love all y'all!

The gift of time is precious - we can never get it back. Episode 12 of SMFRThePodcast (now up on Apple/Spotify/Google etc and also on SMFRThePodcast.com) tells how my dear friend Bill battled cancer but never let that gift get away. He lived every day for his family and friends…

Be thankful for what you've got y'all. Sometimes we all take life in general for granted. Upon attending the 35th Annual Guns 'N Hoses event in St Louis (benefit for the families of fallen Firefighters/Police/ EMTs), it reminded me to pause and be thankful. We all try to do so,…

Focus on yourself, not others. Sometimes we can let other influence our thinking - whether it's someone at work making a snide comment, or perhaps you have a narcissist in your life who believers it's their mission to tear you down constantly. Happens to me, happens to all of us.…

Look forward to each day - you betcha! Weather changes drastically sometimes, but our moods don't have to (unless you're bummed out, then embrace the new day yup). Every day is a new opportunity; let's put our best face on and face it head on. Love all y'all and thanks…

Make your bed! A cool little habit to get into (if you don't already); besides making your snazzy crib look snazzier, it gives you a small sense of accomplishment - plus it's a little task that gets your mind right for the day ahead. Yup it's a good one. Please…

Power through if you don’t feel like getting out of bed - or if you hit a lull in your day. Sometimes just a little effort - or starting a task - is enough to get us going. We all have those days; it’s worth a try! Love all y’all!

Take a moment to breathe during the course of your busy day. Little reminders to do so (as shown in this 60 second video) can assist us along the way. Pretty groovy. Have a great day and yes indeed, I love all y'all!

What a difference a day makes; ever have one of those days where you always feel a half-step behind? Or the harder you work the more you mess up? Well, I do too, and my solution is to... let it ride. For all of our efforts, sometimes we just need…

Let's learn from our mistakes y'all; rather than beat ourselves up for things we may have screwed up in the past, take the positive from them and move forward. It's not always easy but it'll get you in a better frame of mind whilst turning a negative into a positive…

Take a trip; make new friends… Meeting new folks could mean making lifelong friends. Hey you never know y’all so let’s put down the phones and look around. Love all y’all!

The Law Of The Mind. You Get What You Give. A one-hit wonder frome the '90s (New Radicals; great song) ties into a 19th Century philosopher (Ella Wheeler Walker). In essence, give the world your best and you'll get it back and then some. Get out there and get it…

The power of your subconscious mind; use it constructively y’all… if your mind tells your subconscious to worry, oh yeah it will. If you tell your subconscious to be positive, you know what? You guessed it. We are what we think about so let’s get it right and make our…

Having something to look forward to, from simply planning a walk with a friend, to perhaps setting up a well-deserved vacation, helps keep us in a positive frame of mind. If we go through our days aimlessly we can get caught in an endless cycle day-in and day-out. Have that…

Master your mind! Folks often think of meditation as lighting candles, burning incense, flowing robes (striking…) etc. But it’s actually very simple. Just a minute or two pulling yourself aside and chilling, breathing, and clearing away those obstacles that screw up our day. It ain’t hard friends; it works for…

Master your mind! Folks often think of meditation as lighting candles, burning incense and such. But it's actually very simple. Just a minute or two pulling yourself aside and chilling, breathing and clearing all those obstacles that mess with us mentally. It ain't hard friends; it works for me and…

Use social media for positive results; if you're in a crummy mood, either put the phone down and do something to lighten things up; or look up a recipe, wish someone a happy birthday, or play a fun game. It works for me but I still have to remind myself…

Your beliefs determine what you have, how much money you make, how healthy you are, much much success you have, so says the "pitbull of personal development" Larry Winget... and it's true. Show love and it will come back to you, dress for success and get that "I'm a winner"…

Why not take a minute to “press pause”, reflect and reset? Put that ol’ phone down and… breathe. It only takes a minute or two to refresh and yes, reset your mind (and maybe your day). Hope you like it; love your comments and input, and don’tcha know I love…

Why not take a minute to pause and reflect. Put your phone down and breathe. It only takes a minute or less to refresh and reset your mind - and in turn perhaps reset your day. Speaking of "a minute" this l'il video is just that; a minute. Hope these…
