Live. Inspired. is a collection of my own creation. It speaks to "how" I have been choosing to live my life each day. A conversation with, and for myself actually. When my true inspirations are attached to that which I intend, I feel the Universe "opening up" to a whole new world of abundance, opportunity, and discovery. And by sharing my inspirations here with you...it makes me feel good too!


Live. My Heart. Inspired.

How do I choose to Live. Today.
How am I going to feel My Heart. Today.
How will I be Inspired. Today.

The following is borrowed, (and shared) in gratitude,
from the book "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success"
by Deepak Chopra. This particular quote comes from
Chapter 3, "The Law of Karma... or Cause and Effect."
It bears significant meaning, and resonates very deeply
with me at this important juncture in My Life. I share this,
with great appreciation, and resonance, for it's truth,
inspiration, and deeply important message.

"In every moment, we have access to an infinity of choices.
Put your attention on your Heart, and ask your Heart what to do.
Then pay attention to how you feel. You will know the answer
is right because it will (feel) right, without any lingering doubts.
The Heart knows the correct answer because it taps into the field
of pure potentiality, and takes everything into account. The Heart 
is intuitive and holistic; and though the answer may not seem
rational, the Heart is far more accurate than anything within the
realm of rational thought."

Live. Inspired.

Live. Subaru. Inspired.

Today's post is inspired in gratitude for the incredible
last four days spent with my Subaru family in Niagra Falls.
As this was meant to be my last meeting as a Subaru dealer,
I was filled with many mixed emotions. Originally not 
intending on going,  I was convinced by family and friends
to go ahead and attend, and (now)... am so very grateful that I did.


I feel that there are so many people that I need to thank, so many
wonderful memories, so many incredible milestones, and (most importantly)
so many beautiful friendships, that I will cherish for my lifetime.
I would especially like to recognize, and thank, Don Durst, Rene
Defrucia, and Dave Park for everything that they have done for me...
For their ongoing trust, friendship, and support over these many years.
These are (all) fine gentleman, of whom I have the utmost of respect,
and will always hold in the highest regard.


I would also like to express my humblest gratitude to all the dealers, 
from coast to coast, for all of your support, and say to each one of you...
from the bottom of my heart, how deeply touched I was by the
incredible outpouring of love and support you gave me, as I departed this,
my last meeting... I will never forget Michael Croxon's beautiful words,
and the tremendous ovation that you all gave me. I am so very blessed...
and so very grateful to all of you... Thank you... again... it meant so much.
I would also like to thank Dayna and Dean, for (literally) being on this flight
with me this past week... It was a pleasure to get to know you, and I am so
very grateful that you were there with me for this very special time.

It has been an amazing ride, but I know, (and am at peace) with my decision
to move on. I know in my heart that this is not goodbye, simply the beginning
of a new, and exciting chapter in my life. I know that the time has come for me
to stop the "human doing" .... and become the "human being" that I am destined
to become. Time will tell where simply "being" will lead me, but I am confident
that the universe has something wonderful.... with some amazing things in store...

I would like to leave you (now) with the same message that I have always said....
Success is not always measured by "what" we do...
But (more importantly) by "HOW" we do it.
We (Subaru) are a family... of that there is no doubt...
We must always remember to support, listen, and take care of one other...
For if we lead.... (always) from our heart....and stay passionate to what it is
that we truly "believe," then we will "all-ways" be.... on the right course!"

I wish everyone the very best of health, success, and happiness....
Live... with joy in your heart.... and in your life....
My sincerest thanks..... and best wishes to you all...
Until we meet again.....

Live. A Peaceful Warrior. Inspired.

The source of inspiration for this post comes from an excerpt
from the book "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman.

"There is no need to search;
achievement leads to nowhere.
It makes no difference at all,
so just be happy now!
Love is the only reality of the world,
because it is all One, you see.
And the only laws are paradox, humour, and change.
There is no problem, never was, and never will be.
Release your struggle, let go of your mind,
throw away your concerns, and relax into the world.
No need to resist life:
just do your best.
Open your eyes, and see.....
that you are far more than you imagine.
You are the world, you are the universe;
you are yourself, and everyone else, too!
It's all the marvelous Play....
of the God within You."

Live. Inspired.
