Leading With Intention 
An ancient Danish poem states ‘the deepest well always yields the clearest water..’.
And so Dear Vicki, I find that your ‘inspirations’ are like this, just now with this beautiful poem and 10 good advises for 2013 (I think you actually have 37 elements grouped altogether :))
Best Wishes – Soar High!
Torben, thank you…I really like that Danish quote. I hope you are well and all set for a joyful, delightful holiday season!
Thank you Vicki. I love receiving your monthly “Try This”, and like others, try to save it for when I have time to read, ponder and digest it. Your poems inspire me too, and remind me that I want to find time to return to my own poetry. Thank you for the collecting the year into one inspiring resource, and thank you for reminding me that there is another world out there and perhaps a way of redefining the interminable daily pressure of work….
Maggie, I thought I had replied to this when it came in…Thank you for your kind words. I hope that you have found more time for your poetry and your own ways of defining your days? 🙂
Dear Vicki I also find your work and words inspiring. I often share them with our Sellers to support them in their daily quest, which at times is stressful and extremely demanding. I find your contributions mindful and uplifting. Thank you for your sharing. Cheers L.
Lisa, I am so glad you find the blogs inspiring – and enough to share them with others. I hope together we help lift the spirits of our hard working sellers! Best to you! Vicki
Hello Vicki, i found you after reading the “help your dream come true” post over on misifusa’s blog. i really love what i see here so far – thanks for sharing a part of yourself with us 🙂 we are all in this together.
I absolutely love love this…I try everyday to practice this…but often fail..and continue to need to be mindful of that moment in time..and LISTEN…
