"You never miss the water until the well runs dry"
Grandma Brunelle, 1902
We take for granted so many aspects of life, that we become immune to the beauty all around us.
Well, I recently read the blog, Bumpyboobs.com where Catherine, in her recovery from some brutal side-effects of chemotherapy is able to walk to work on her own power.
For the first time in many, many months, she has enough energy to walk…. Yes She Can. Click to read more
When I find something I like, that is head and shoulders above the rest, I can’t help sharing it with others. So here I go because we’ve just discovered a real gem of a romantic get-away.
Marcelle and I take time every year to go over our
Ultimate Wake Up workshop. It takes about 3 days and so we find some place where we can focus on the job at hand. And this year, we found the nicest Bed and Breakfast we have ever visited ever. And it is only a short ride … Click to find out more
It’s a test you know. When asked this question, you are supposed to say yes, very busy. And if in a group of people when asked this question, make sure you answer last so you can let them know that you are more busy than they are.
If they complain of answering 100 emails a day, you say that you have to answer 200 email a day.
At least that is how we think we should be. But which is better, "Doing Nothing" or "Being Busy Doing Nothing"?
If you are so busy that you don’t … Click to read the rest
Some of the confusion is lifting! It has only been I don’t know how many years and I think I am getting it. If you have ever wondered why all the fuss about Facebook, then you have to watch the move, “The Social Network”.
At least now I know how it started. It was all about…..
When should you keep on keeping on and when should you change tactics?
To quote “The majority of people are ready to throw their aims and purposes overboard and give up at the first signs of opposition or misfortune. A few carry on despite all opposition until they attain their goal. Weak desires produce weak results.”
Napoleon Hill, Author: Think and Grow Rich
…but there is another side to this argument.

Let’s get real. We all forget things. And life can get confusing. We all have trouble remembering names at times. My mother, when she would get upset with me would yell at my by saying “P.. Mi.. Anthony!!!” She had to go through the names of my brothers Peter and Michael before she could let out with my name. And that was simply the result of having 8 kids to look after, not Alzheimer’s.
But as we get along with age, we start to notice that our mind is not as sharp as it once was. Could it be a sign of early Alzheimer’s is almost everyone’s concern. And who wants to admit out loud that they might be having problems? This is one secret we do our best to hide and cover in any way we possibly can. Like the person who is illiterate who always forgets their glasses, so you have to read “it” to them, we learn to cope. But deep down inside, we can’t help but wonder and worry, is there a problem?
Passion, it’s what adds the spice to our life, it is what sets apart great service from good service.
But what is it really? That’s a hard one to define, but this video of a drummer shows us what it is. Put simply, this is what passion is all about and if you will take just a moment to watch this, you can’t help but be impressed.

I have taken the liberty of putting on our blog some special music that brings out some strong emotions and memories.
I hope you enjoy and Merry Christmas from all of us at Awakening Potentials.
It’s that time again, when the snow starts falling and the house gets it’s decorative look. And that got me thinking about Christmas’s past.
As I shared with you last year, when I was about 6 years old, my mom made me start buying gifts for all my brothers and sisters, as well as mom and dad.
But there were other ways to give a gift that I was reminded about the other day. You see, one of my early… Click to Read More
A number of years ago, Marcelle and I were driving down a back country road when we came upon one of the biggest snapping turtles I had ever seen. It must have been between 2 and 3 feet in diameter. Lets just say it was huge.
Now the problem was, it was in the middle of this country lane. Yes sir, this poor turtle seemed to be stuck in the middle of this road. And what do you do?
