Motivational Speaker | Yes I Think I Can

Where Are You Persistent?

This task is too big; it has laid bare,
Resistance and doubt,– do I now dare
To see the job through?
Stretch what I can do?
Remember, “Keep at it. You’ll get there”.

What Was the Highlight of Your Weekend?

I went to the Zoom-time assuming
No personal tie, since we’re Zooming.
Yet to my surprise,
There’s warmth in folk’s eyes.
Participants look like they’re blooming.

Are You Dragging in Spite of Your Intentions?

If rather than moving, you’re stalling,
If couch-time is what you hear calling,
Think what you can find,
To spark up your mind.
An outcome, completely enthralling.

What Holiday Season Task Do You Dread?

I’m from an era when Christmas cards or letters, —
Absolutely required;
Especially from Bob’s heritage.

I Felt Like Dancing Around the Displays!

Brilliant, splashing, riotous colors of Marimekko fabric,
Morphed into whimsical toys, bags, & more;
Bold with bright visual energy —
Truly, it made me want to dance.

When Have You Felt Melancholy?

Generous listening.
A few hours later, I’m feeling Melancholy.

What Unexpected Delight Showed Up This Week?

Third week of October —
Blue skies and weather warm enough for
Glorious outdoor time!

How Did Your Awareness Expand This Week?

I’m just back from speaking to
Great group of women.
Waseca, MN, Catholic Daughters —
They are my expanded awareness.

These Days — How Are These Days For You?

On rides through countryside
I pass many stands selling Pumpkins!
Do you wonder if all of those hundreds
Become Jack-O-Lanterns?

Where Have Different Circumstances Expanded Your View?

Another speaking opportunity this week,
Reminding me that there is always more to learn.
I “got” the parallel, that
Like bike trips, there are predictable parts,
Bicycles, miles pedaled, hills, weather.
