“Your passion is your internal compass that will guide you from where you are towards where you want to go.” ~ Julie Connor It’s easy to dismiss passion as something frivolous and impractical. But your inner compass knows better. The quote above reminds me of a woman, in her 70s, who came to a seminar experiencing a fair amount of chronic pain and illness.

These are the opening words to the theme from the movie Mahogany: Do you know where you’re going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know?

Listen with Your Heart to Design Your Sexy Second Act
“Let your heart be your compass, your mind your map, your soul your guide… and you will never get lost.” ~ Ritu Ghatourey It’s said that if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear a message in every experience. I pondered that the other day while waiting for my mechanic to figure out why my car’s check engine light came on. Luckily, it turned out to be no big deal, but I couldn’t help wondering what the message might be. I’ve been feeling pressure about completing my book by a certain deadline. As a result, the fun went out of my
