The Quotable Coach blog recently surpassed its 2500th post. The vast majority of the quotes that inspire these posts are not mine. They represent nuggets of wisdom offered to the world from many brilliant individuals, including Seneca. I do my best to offer the correct attribution whenever possible.
I admire and appreciate Seneca’s sincere words and generosity of spirit intending to support others without seeking credit.
When we interpret and share our views of these lessons and come up with some of our own, we too can release our own generous efforts to serve and support others.
Where and with whom do you pay forward words of wisdom from others in your communities? How does this deepen the value and impact these lessons have had on your life?

How easy is it for you to begin each day with a clean slate? How often do you feel that mornings are filled with an abundance of opportunities and possibilities?
Most of us tend to hold on and drag around yesterdays filled with our worries and fears, or perhaps pine for the “good old days” when life seemed much better.
Cohen’s quote asks us to put a period at the end of our days with a “what is done is done” perspective. Without letting go of the past how can we free our hands and hearts to grasp for today and our tomorrows?
With Spring around the corner, how and what can you do to clear and organize your yesterdays to more enthusiastically step into each new day?

My son-in-law Chris did something beautiful on a Friday night a few weeks ago. He made homemade pizza. Discussing his process of proofing special pizza flour for 48 hours and making his sauce with fresh garlic and basil made us all drool as we waited for its exit from the oven. He topped off his masterpiece with mozzarella and locatelli, which brought back memories of my mom from childhood. I devoured four pieces and had to restrain myself from another.
We all took delight in the joy Chris experienced as he created and presented his work of art with love. He now intends to begin baking homemade bread.
How much beauty do you experience each day? Where and how can you create more beauty in your world to please and delight yourself and those around you?
