Our Next Project
Our next project, and incidentally, the final project of 2017 is coming up in just 3 days. This is the Holiday Season, and we are all busy with Thanksgiving and Christmas, so it occurred to me that maybe getting off to a great start every morning might be the best approach to a happy and prosperous end of the year.
There is a saying, “Well begun is half done.” So, let’s spend the next 30 days figuring out how to begin each day in the best possible way. I, for one, am looking forward to this project, particularly since it comes in on the heels of the Rise and Shine idea that had a very subtle effect on my mornings.
If you are interested in joining me, that would be awesome. You can leave comments here and check back daily; alternatively, you can like, and follow our facebook page, or you can subscribe to the feed (the feedburner link is in the sidebar) and receive updates via email. These projects are so much more interesting when we have fellow travelers!
Oh and by the way:
I am also beginning the process of slowly uploading the Invoking Ganesh project from 2007. This was one of my all time favorites, I still use the Ganesh mantra from time to time. It always seems to work for me, and I think it might be fun to use the power of Ganesh to help push on through to the end of 2017. So, stay tuned for that!
Rise and Shine Project Overview
Here is an overview of our Rise and Shine project. This post provides links to pertinent aspects of this project, so that you won’t have to sift through the archives to find out what you want to know.
If you would like to try this project for yourself, you can start on Day One: It’s Day One, and then continue on thru to the last day: When You Do Something Beautiful, posting your thoughts, ideas, results, joys and disappointments as you go. This is an active blog, and if you post, we will notice and reply… and give you the benefit of our own experience and our support if it seems pertinent or appropriate.

Six Months Later
Six months ago we completed The Little Engine That Could project. The idea was to set a goal, and then work to accomplish it within 30 days. This post is a six month follow up on that project to see what if anything has changed for you since April 1st.
- If you participated in the project, and did not complete your goal – has it been completed since then?
- Are you more successful with setting goals?
- Has anything changed for you with regards to motivation, procrastination, and success in doing whatever it is that you set out to do?
- Any other thoughts you’d like to share?
Did We Shine?
Just a quick post to determine what, if any, results we may have as a result of this project. If you participated in the project, now is the time to share your thoughts about it.
My personal experience with this project was surprisingly good. It was so simple and easy, that I didn’t have any trouble making my bed every morning, and I noticed that this made a very definite, albeit subtle difference in my entire day. I felt more proactive, and more connected. I was also more likely to do other little practical things to create order in my environment. So, for me, it had value and I do hope I keep it up.
What about you?
- Did you make your bed every day?
- If so, did it seem to make a difference?
- If not, did that seem to make a difference?
- Is there anything else you’d like to share?

When you do something beautiful…
When you do something beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.
~John Lennon
Morning found us unaware…
Morning found us unaware,
noon burn gold into our hair,
at night we swim the laughin sea,
where will be be?
~Jim Morrison
The Breeze at Dawn
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
~Marcus Aurelius
Having a rough morning?
Having a rough morning?
Place your hand over your heart.
Feel that?
That’s called purpose.
You’re alive for a reason.
Don’t give up.
