Joyful in my now

by Lisa Kohn | Jun 4, 2018 | Passion

I’ve decided to be joyful in my now. I know – I decide this often. Over and over again I decide I’ll do it. Over and over again I recommit myself to it. There is so much to be joyful about. There are so many reasons to smile. Even as I write this, I can feel the...

Life is now

by Lisa Kohn | Dec 14, 2017 | Passion

How many of us are waiting? Waiting until things are better. Waiting until we get the job. Until we fix the house. Until we fix our life. What are we waiting for? Life is now. Life is in this moment. What am I doing? How am I spending my time? What am I feeling? Who...
