Today’s word is Participation. It is so wonderful to watch the Olympic Games this week. Athletes have the opportunity to represent their country and learn more about other countries. Sport crosses cultures and languages. We all cheer in the same language. These Games provide the world with an opportunity to experience togetherness and find similarities and common ground. We participate as spectators from afar and we see the experience of the athletes as they bring the people of the world together, building trust and finding common ground.

TRUST = The RISK You Should Take.

My mum always canvassed for the Heart Foundation in February in Nova Scotia. She would go door to door, asking neighbours for their donations. It was a good cause that helped members of our family who suffered from heart disease and heart attacks.

With a last name like “Love”, we were often singled out in February around Valentine’s Day. One year, we got a free flight from WestJet. There are perks.

If you are looking for love, then I suggest you learn to listen with HEART.

Tuesday is TRUST day. Trust that others are doing the best they can with what they know. Everybody does. And be TRUSTworthy = Transparent, Respectful, Understanding, Supportive ane Trusting.

Good Morning

It’s Tuesday. I love Tuesdays. Tuesdays have always been days of connection for me. My friends and I regularly have dinner together on Tuesday. Tuesday is a great day to start a weekly friends’ ritual. It is important to have a weekly opportunity to strengthen relationships with people you know well or want to know better. This becomes a place where worries are shared and halved, where triumphs become celebrations. Take the RISK.

If you live on this planet, you are aware of the shifts in weather that can change a good day into a bad day. The same kinds of shifts can happen in relationships and even in conversations, some so severe that they create irreparable damage.

Learning the tools for generating good conversations and fair weather in life are availabe in my new book, THE RISK YOU SHOULD TAKE. It’s now available on Amazon as a Kindle download, a paperback, or a hardcover.
