Hi! I’m Dan, I’m here to walk you through some of the life lessons that we can pick up from watching Shazam! We’re going to discuss rejection, power is used best when it is shared, and allowing yourself to be loved by others. My day starts at 7.30am because I couldn’t wait for what I had planned; you see, Saturdays are usually reserved for something very close to my heart. I found that when a film came on at the cinema it would just totally send me to another place for a couple of hours, I didn't have to think about any anxieties, I could … [Read more...]
6 Lies You Tell Yourself About Yourself
Have you ever paused to think about the voice in your head? The images, words, and feelings swirling around. The inner voice that tells you to "keep going" or "just give up." The narrator that runs a constant commentary about your life, as well as anything and everything around you. It processes. It makes decisions. It makes assumptions. It speaks words of truth and words of lies, words that lift up and words that tear down. If you took a look at the thoughts in your mind, you might be surprised. If we don't consciously keep our thoughts in … [Read more...]
Shelly Beach’s E.P.I.C. Story
I am so excited to finally get to share this interview with you! I read Shelly Beach's book, The Silent Seduction of Self-Talk, back in college, and it truly changed my life.

I am so honored she said yes to letting me interview her, and I hope her words encourage you today. Tell us a little about yourself and your book, The Silent Seduction of Self-Talk I'm a Harley biker chick … [Read more...]

What is Palentine’s Day?
What is Palentine's Day? Palentine's Day is a day for celebrating friendship! Where Valentine's Day tends to be more about celebrating romantic love, PALentine's Day is an opportunity to appreciate the other kinds of relationships we have (and love!) in our lives. When is Palentine's Day? February 13th But you don't have to celebrate only on that day! Do something for or with your friends any day that you can this month! It might actually be less busy on a day that's not so close to Valentine's Day. Perhaps even catch those … [Read more...]

Anna Reel is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. But first...a review of my 2018 focus For the past few years I've had the tradition of choosing a one word or phrase focus for my new year. I set many "S.M.A.R.T. goals" to go with it, but this "focus" is the overarching theme I want for that … [Read more...]
What will your focus be in 2019?
"A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it." Isn't that the truth? When you go through life with no plan or goals whatsoever, you probably won't get very far. Growth doesn't just magically happen on its own. Something I've talked about a lot here on the blog is that there is no standstill in life; either you're moving forward or you're moving back. Without an intentional focus we just drift through life and hardly end up anywhere near where we want to be. So my question for you today is: We can (and should!) set goals and new … [Read more...]

Kent Sanders Professor Sanders was one of the very first people (other than my mother lol) to encourage me in my writing. Who knows if this blog would even exist today if it wasn't for him and his belief in me! I took a class on … [Read more...]
Introduction to the Enneagram
The Enneagram of Personality (what most people just call the Enneagram) is a psycho-spiritual personal development tool. It is a map of your inner landscape, or even something like the owners manual for your personality. The Enneagram marks out nine basic styles of the human personality, an expression that influenced Dante’s The Divine Comedy and Homer’s Odyssey. Each personality archetype is determined by its patterned and habitual over or under use of each of the “Three Brains” or centers of a human, intellectual center, emotional center, … [Read more...]
Gary Smalley Personality Assessment
I recall sitting in my first graduate class, in a small computer room on the campus of Boston College, and participating in a discussion on the importance of connection and acceptance all while feeling detached, different, and alone. I had just moved to Boston to pursue a Masters degree in Sociology and, although excited for this new adventure that awaited me, I was also saddened by the reality of physically leaving the city shared by all of my family and closest friends. I recall struggling to connect with those around me for the first … [Read more...]
